It's a rough place, LA

Comment by Teafran:
The intensity and drama is very evident in this image and a intriguing story could very well be written about this person's life and times. Crisp and sharp with no technical issues to nit pick, the artistic impact of this image is outstanding. A very competant and effective piece of photo journalism, this image should place well into the top ten if not a ribbon winner. This viewer struggled with rating this a nine or ten because of the slightly over done whites on the shoulder, but after review, changed the rating from nine to a 10 because of it's visceral impact. Well done.

I like this enormously - very simple, but so strong. Pat of me would like the lone figure to be trudging his way across the expanse, but viewed from behind leaving the frame - but I like it just fine as it is, too.

intriguing, I like the light play and the simplicity of the image...I might like a tighter crop better
