Good choice, John! Congrats on the blue!

ARE they arguing? Doesn't look like it to me...

A wonderful story, with powerful acting. You catch everyone at the exact second where everything has that special meaning.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Highly interesting composition - the dominance of the rearview mirror and the strange vehicle to the left frame a sub-composition. The is tension and interest in that juxtaposition. Her proximity to the wall and the plants adds to the curiosity. The glowishness of the highlights is similar to a jagar but the match is not perfect.

Critical stuff: The combination of strong sharpening, much texture and a 300k file size has caused some artefacting (criss-crossing) in the lower centre part of the image. I also struggle to discern a story here - not that it is mandatory, but I feel there is more confusion than mystery here.

Overall: Interesting but slightly unfulfilling.
