Taken from the stairs leading up to the New York High Line. USM, duotone.
Post: I was really happy with this one (insteps was right - it didn't turn out as I expected) so to get such positive feedback is hugely encouraging & makes me very glad to be back!

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is one of my 9s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. Puzzling and compelling - look at that repeating hand!
2. Shadows and scratches and reflections - marvellous
3. That transection of the lower image - bold and unapologetic
4. The lovely blue toning
5. Depth and flatness - together.
Either Don's or Jan's I would guess (or possibly even an eclectic Nixter...) I'll guess Don.
