Great contrast and lines. I think you've captured the people well without even including faces.

Such a wonderful piece of history you've recorded so well. Back to bump you from 8 to 9.

This is a terrific image and one that should garner enough high votes to place well if not a ribbon. Very crisp and sharp including the excellant conversion to black & white - there is nothing wrong with this from a technical standpoint and artistically it hits the candid mark right on the nose. Well done.

PS: I was probably within three feet of the author when this was taken - I remember the flag waving and from what I remember, I was a little to the right and maybe about three feet back. What a terrific shot.

An effective demonstration of lighting and how it can be used creatively to achieve a special effect. This image, with it's attendant grain, creates an ethereal atmosphere - a very noir concept which is intense and powerfull, it sparks the imagination and tells any number of different stories. One of the best entries in this challenge so far which should place well in the top ten if not a ribbon winner. Well done.
