wow! I really like that. this very dark black-grey backround is a nice contrast and work well with the little front image in colors. And what colors! I like those warm colors and this little light is just great^^
the image itself was redally nice so i think it may have been nicer to see it, if not in full color, at least more of it in color. but it's pretty cool. i like the perspective.

i didn't realize you had won until i saw the captians post... but i was going to tell you that this would have been my pick! this is really excellent work!
ps- would it have killed you to dust it off a little before the shot? lol :)
Our too-young and too-new America, lusty because it is lonely, aggressive because it is afraid, insists upon seeing the world in terms of good and bad, high and low, the white and the black; our America is frightened of fact, of history, of processes, of necessity. It hugs the easy way of damning those whom it cannot understand, of excluding those who look different, and it salves its conscience with a self-draped cloak of righteousness. Am I damning my country? No; for I, too, share these faults of character. And I really do not think that America, adolescent and cocksure, a stranger to suffering and travail, an enemy of passion and sacrifice, is ready to probe into its most fundamental beliefs.
