I love the actual composition of this -- the arrangement of everything is perfect. And the high contrast and harsh shadows really drive (no pun intended) the point home. Nice job!

Thanks bvy. I was playing around with HDR for this one. Haven't quite gotten the hang of that yet though, so just used the contrasty version instead.

Very simple. very nice. It does look a bit over sharpened and over saturated though.

I hate it when that happens. I think the contrast/sharpening is just a bit much on this one.
