Hah! It’s not a dead body. I took this shot in the park area in downtown of San Diego, where lots of homeless people hanging around, so the one on the background probably one of them.

1st you broke the rule about no people. But I won't hold that against you -this time. I really like this shot it has a very classic feel. Very restive and sedate.

I find the title amusing. I think this is an excellent capture. I'm guessing its a candid and if so, its lovely (even if it isn't). The contrasts are perfect, great choice of B&W and the focus is excellent. I like the fact you've controlled the light here so nothing is overwhelming. I think the composition is great except I do wish the tire wasn't cut off at the bottom and there was just a bit more breathing room at the top so she didn't look cramped in the picture. Other than that though I think this is wonderful. I'm bumping from a 7 to an 8 and adding a favorite.
