another shot I forgot I had in the files from this past summer...

I like the processing! Perhaps a little soft but nicely dramatic. It's reminiscent of some of Nick Brandt's amazing photography. If you haven't already seen them 'A Shadow Falls' is an excellent collection of his pictures.

Edit: I'd forgotten about Boza Ivanovic too, if you like this style I think you'll love his pictures.

Boza Ivanovic was actually my inspiration for the pic. I had seen it a few weeks ago but there was no name associated to the photo on facebook ( someone stole it from another site I guess) After see ing it I looked at some old files from the summer and came up with my own version. The pic is soft due to a chain link fence that was actually in the way . Thanks for the links ...now I know where my inspiration came from!

It's a bit soft for me too but I love the single light and shadow.

Ivanovic's work is hard hitting in a grungy sort of way.

Glad I could be of assistance!

As I recall Ivanovic is trying to use this technique to say something about animals in captivity, and on the whole I think the stark results do add to the lonely feeling of his photos. I'm a bit clueless as to how he achieves the results though

As was said, a bit soft, but very dramatic look/pose with the pp. Nicely done K-Bob.

I really like the color ---- it is quite calming and peaceful.
