I don't remember if I've comented on this yet but, what a great photo. It's bold and expressive. The subject is fantastic and the shading and depth are wonderful. Thanks!

This is an amazing piece of art! It speaks so well to the on-lookers. I love the effect the black and white had on it. This is a truly awesome and moving picture!

Nice compostion and tones. I am not excited about the subject but, the image is very strong and conveys the message well. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

In a sense it is a self portrait, my hands, as a focal point, because my original intention of just photographic the wire because the camera couldn't focus on it in the fading light. I used the cameras black and white mode so I wouldn't be tempted to play with colors.

This is so amazing. How in the world did you think of this or find this? It says so much about freedom. This picture is probally the only picture I've seen so far that's actually spoken to me.

Comment from stevenallo
Black and white photography captures feelings better than color. This is a wonderful b@w pic. I feel so many things just looking at it for the first time, that its hard to explain. The gray tones are perfectly balanced. The shadows and highlights are captured in great detail. This picture is truly a work of art. I look forward to seeing more of your pictures

Wow! Your image is dramatic and exciting. I like it. You must have an great imagination, and to be able to capture it on flash card. I was going to say film.
