This is an excellent image on a variety of levels. The framing and use of Black & White rise to the top of the list to create a unique image.
Cheers!

Ryno: what is the definitive explanation for the stenciled numbers? Parking, billing, residence ID? Nice BW here. c

Hi Ryno,
Very nice and realistic black and white photography. I can see the numbers like a prison for humans, but in front I have the bird cages, which is more or less the same .....
Wish you a nice weekend.
Best regards,
Roser

Hello Ryno,
This image caught my eye in the gallery, and did not disappoint. Technically perfect, you've created an image that provokes thought and emotion. What are the numbers? Why are the birds there? Fantastic photo,
Melissa

Ryno,

Excellent Photo.
While I do like the mental imagery of of the spray painted numbers being prison numbers, they're actually phone numbers for local businesses.
