Baghdad Turnabout Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pictured is a turnabout in Baghdad as seen from one of the guard-towers near Saddam's former "Pleasure-Palace." There is little regard for obeying "traffic-laws" here in Baghdad.

Such a peaceful scene considering the location. The low angle of the sun gives good warmth, shadows and colours. Maybe i would have cloned out that roof or whatever it is, at top left. Still a good picture though!
Well done!

I assume that you are not in charge of policing traffic! Rather than cropping, I think you should have included more parts of the guard-tower (e.g. sand bags) to give a better sense of where this was shot, and communicate the atmosphere.
