I owe a big thank you to my youngest daughter, Bailey. She is mentor and teacher in this. It is strange how quickly the roles shift as our children grow.

I desaturated, adjusted the brightness and contrast, burned blown out white areas, levels and shadow and highlight.

...a wreck's perspective. I find this photograph to be wonderfully creative. Love the framing. Well done.

love your choice of frame and subjects. took me a second to realize that it was broken glass - but, this is one of my favorites in the challenge. i wonder perhaps how a shallow DOF with the windshield in focus might have looked. 10.

Very cool! I like the broken glass framing the broken cars. And the monochromatic look is great. Well done!

As a surviivor of three major collisions, Ithis image tore at me when I first saw it. I calmed down as I saw that time had passed by for the cars I am viewing, and I am looking out through past tragedy possibly, or just decomposition. I love the creativity and tones used here to give a unique perspective and experience to the viewer.

The sheer mess of this is exciting, and that hint of a lansdscape for those cars. Both the monochromatic and the high contrast treatments work well with the subject. Something sordid about it, something unflinching in the approach, which will, I'm sure, not go down well with Joe Voter. Not as well as it should, anyway. For all the interesting viewpoint, and the suitable treatment though, I don't get much sense of interest from it - maybe your burning/dodging/whatever goes too far?

This is an amazing photo. I am impressed with the message, the creative eye, as well as the technique. Nice job.

Great use of the glass to get an interesting frame around the carwrecks-scene.
I like the choice for B&W and think that the tones are excellent. I also like the shadowy darker foreground vs the brighter view trough the glass frame.
