A very interesting angle, and this even has always fascinated me. It's amazing that thousands of years later, events are still around for us to study. On a more critique level, I kind of wish you'd totally blown out the background into whites. The people and crowd you can see distract too much for me.

Nice angle and a good composition. I like the use of slight desaturation too, it disguises the people thru the glass quite well.

this image might work better if it were more focused on the head itself. very gripping entrance into the image with the head.

Hey - I know that guy! I have this same shot from my 2001 trip. Nice job.

I could have submitted a similar shot had this been the best of 1995 :)

I remember this guy well when I toured Pompeii a decade ago. If I'm not mistaken, this is a plaster cast they made by pouring the plaster into holes where bodies had been surrounded by lava. The belt on this guy indicated that he was a slave. I'd love to go back there with the aid of a digital camera -- I took lots of shots the first time around, but I'm sure I'd fill a few cards nowadays!
