while it is, of course, necessary for me to disagree with tom about *something*, i do think this is an exceptional photograph. i don't think it is "beautiful" (see, tom), but i do feel it produces a sense of foreboding, the feeling one gets when it's about to storm in the early evening, and you want to be home, safe inside. the shadows do quite literally make this image, and i must admit (sigh) that the slightly blurred edges enhance the feeling of insecurity engendered herein. good work, jeff.(posted 8569 days ago)
