I like the drama in the coulds and the subject, but I would almost have preferred a bit of a pan to the left to catch more of the road.

Nice detail and good job on the mono conversion.

I've noticed a lot of framing lately...I'm not sure it always works. I think kit's best kept simple. I think the gradient / button type border you've put around the photo gives it an amateur look. It's a dramatic picture and is best kept simple...of course that's just my silly opinion.

Fantastic photo.

Carl: I think it was very well done. It shows to me how the P.O.W's must have felt. Dirty, unkept, hard, and dark, with no life in it.
It tells a lot.
Great Photo.

You know...now that I look at it, I wouldn't change the composition at all.
