Looks terrific, Mitch. I love the way the parallel shadows are working for you here. This is one I would print and frame. Good luck with it--it's a winner in my book no matter the outcome of the contest :) #6112682

Excellent photo Mitch, I love it. The shadows give the image extra punch and I like how the shadows in the upper right give an extra sense of mystery to the composition. #6154725
