    The mural has quite an iconic, classic sense to it.

    He reminds of an actor, can't think of which one though.

    What a nice tribute to the fireworker, hope he likes it to be portraited so publicly.

    Not sure I would want a big picture of me on the side of a building even if it looked as nice as this.

    Such a good strong image ODP. We have so many bushfires here I have the utmost respect for firemen.

    It looks like a Hollywood movie poster. I bet the real firefighter is a little less romantic.

    I like the realistic look. No cartoony stuff here.
