Dave Higgins
this is a fantastic image, it’s what’s black and white is all about. I enjoyed trying to incorporate text into my images. This was done very successfully here. I am going to look at this image is if it had been my. In that case I think I would’ve darkened the large stone in the bottom. Or cropped it in half. it seriously competes with the manhole cover. Which distracts from its power. Great image as it stands, just an observation
ragman replied
Dave, sorry I couldn’t get back to you until now; an interesting observation and one which I in fact did go to to; burnt it in quite a bit for a printed set of these ~ so you are right indeed my friend
