Modern Day Roman Empire

Description

I tried to toy around on Photoshop with this one but I couldn't find anything that improved the image, so I post it as it was taken. If anyone has suggestions on what sort of things I could do with Photoshop, please let me know, as I am a severe noob in terms of photography treatment.

I found this man on my way back from the Coliseum. I assume he was one of those guys that will pose for and with you in front of the Coliseum for the modest sum of 2€. The funny thing is that this guy - although obviously off his working time - kept entertaining the passers-by, mostly by pretending to behead them with his plastic sword. He chuckled and giggled, and I managed to take pictures of him without his noticing me, which would have cost me 2€ probably.

I think this image sums up Rome to me. It used to be the heart of a massive empire, and now it's just a massive touristic place. You don't get much respect from plastic swords.
