The resolution may be too low to do anything with the close-up. I was thinking perhaps some combination of the larger picture and the zoom-in as part of the cover art for the book.

Graphic Artist Among My Readers?
I am always impressed with the enormous range of talents of the crowd that reads my blog. I have a request: I need some cover art for the upcoming book, and I found a picture that really captures the tragedy of what deinstitutionalization has done. I took this on a street in Philadelphia back in 2004, of a man who was pretty clearly either mentally ill or intoxicated. From the terrified expression, I am inclined towards thinking the latter.

Maybe because I live here, I did not immediately spot the crazy man. I zoomed in. I still did not spot him. It was only the police car, and cop in rain gear, that allowed me to spot the man who climbed the scaffolding. I would not have ordinarily noticed this as a sign of delusion.
