I love the cropping, I love the DOF ... I love the fact that it does not need people in it. Well anyways ... you are prolly getting the idea that I kind of like the finished product of this shot ...

Thank you - I very much had WWII in mind when I did this. Whilst the canister isn't an artifact of wartime, it kinda suggest UXB or similar.

I remember an outatke of this shot in your portfolio. As much as I like this one I think I preferred your portfolio image better. It may have had more of a "posed" feel to it but the composition was stronger and a bit more simple and clean without the 3rd person. Still excellent work and a great job on the editing.

Cool shot, love that vintage feel to it. Frame is much too bold for my taste, though. Had preferred a classic black/white border here.

You had the nerve to enter this photo after diluging DPC with outakes of this exact group of people in the exact location since the challenge started even with all this ranting about posting outakes going on lately?

Man ... Surely you are gonna get punished by the voters that get around the site here at all, if not the "Outake Police" ... Surely someone or someones are gonna write up a ticket on this one.
