Many people invest Millions in building Ice Hotels and people of privilege pay hundreds of dollars to stay in them. Ironic don't you think?
Edit (With a special thank you to roz for her advice on some new photoshop techniques that I could try. You rock ROZ)
This may be old hat to some of you but to me I need all the edit advice and help I can get. When it comes to Photoshop I'm still wet behind the ears :)~

Life is ironic indeed. We should look seriously and try to put ourselves in this position. Your image is excellent. The meaning and the following thoughts are shocking. It's simply a shame..
I hadn't voted in this challenge, but this would be a 10 for sure.
Wow Max, this is a very compelling image. I think your processing fit sit very well. Just looking at this photo makes me appreciate my hard Korean bed even more. The wife and I always grip about it because it is so hard and uncomfortable, then this picture puts things into perspective that we don't know what hard and uncomfortable really is.
Thank you for opening my eyes back up. Here is to a new favorite.
hey max ... excellent and emotive photograph .. you really turned it into something special ... i reckon it would'v scored a whole heap better if it hadnt been in a free study ..
the challenge?? .. 'say something meaningful with a photograph' ..
glad i could help .. :):)
I like the grittiness of this picture but I think a larger aperture would have been better to seperate the sleeping man from the cars behind him. The cars seem to take away from the shot.
