This shot was taken at Fort Niagara looking at one of those slits that soliders could fire out of. Of course the idea was to make it next to impossible to fire back in!
The image screamed black and white I feel it came out really well.
DQ'd!! My own stupid fault! I admitted to using a very slight vignette and didn't realize that was a problem. I've read the rules a hundred times too. Damn! You can't even tell there is one. If I hadn't admitted to it I'm sure it would have gone unnoticed. Sorry guys. I'm not a cheater.
Thank you for all the comments. I've never had so many! Hopefully I've broken the seal and can win a few more ribbons.

Sorry to hear about your DQ - it can easily happen when you are new .. however, it doesn't take away from how great this shot is. You will get another one soon is my guess.
I meant to comment during the challenge, but I'm glad this won. It's a great shot for the challenge and it's great to see it recognized. Creative, artistic, unique and well executed. Congrats on the ribbon!
Congratulations on your fist ribbon! May you have many more indeed. Your title is perfect as I am claustrophobic and if I stare too long at the center, I get that feeling in my stomach of feeling closed in and a need to get outta there - great work.
I think you achieved what you set out to do, it is definitely claustrophobic.. just needs something else of interest I think, I'm not sure what though.
