Date Uploaded: Aug 20, 2007

 Didn't make it for the urban landscape but I really like this. I took this a long time ago with a point and shoot but returned in Aug 2007 to take it again with the D200. I equalized it and adjusted the usual suspects.... Tried to find a less political title, but.....By the way... The reason I reshot this is because it is my favorite photo That I've ever taken.....I've been really reluctant to share this or put it on ctberspace but I finally gave in. I hope some enjoy it..

Hey Dex... Just found this one in passing. I love images that have a story or comment on the world and this one is great. Good processing on the razor wire also.

I think this would have been a VERY good image if the blue wasn't in the top right hand corner. Everything else is kickass 8

You've had two choices for what to put in focus... I'm not sure if the other way around would have been better. I like it this way, too. A story-telling photography at its best.

This is impressive. This might offend some voters, but art is often controversial - I love a good photo that makes me stop and think. 10.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Interesting composition - Wish there was a little bird or something sitting in there just to add some more interest.
