a great story-telling shot! #1437009Michelle Alton January 17, 2012
I remember seeing Wheeling on the way to my brother's first wedding (1966) in Illinois. I had never seen poverty like that before and it left a lasting impression. It seems that history does a lot of cycling.This image is harrowing, Steve. #9924982

This is by far the best HDR I have seen! Doing it with this building and in our eco times gives it that extra impact.Steve M. Harrington January 20, 2012
Thank you for your kind words, Jeff! It is not an HDR...just magical light and some careful editing.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
