Photographer’s Note

Just another end of town picture. This bird was sitting there all by itself on the barb wired fence. I thought that might be a good theme.

Hi Barna. Thats a great photograph! The atmosphere is so gloomy and somehow desperate and yet the bird gives life to the scene.
Very well composed.

Regards,
Henrik.

Yes, the atmosphere is the key here. The clouds really enhance the bleak and desolate mood, as does the lonely bird. In my opinion it could use just a hair of rotation as it all seems to be leaning to the left. Otherwise, you have made something uninteresting interesting. Regards, TW

Hey Barna,
The bird = liberty
The barb-wire fence= detention
.......
and in the background,creme-de-la-creme:"Race City"! Damn right about that! This is a race city; a race for everything.
So, what is waiting for us beyond the fence? After the race?
Very good one,really!

Hello Barna

I like the subdued atmosphere of this image, it's evocative, a sort of decrepit nostalgia which i'm fond of.

Congratulations

Emmanuel
