 I've no idea why I called it this name.

On Raglan Road is a poem by Patrick Kavanagh. I guess a memory of studying the poem in school inspired the name. Though it's not in the same city!

Funny voting trend.

Relatively constant score of ~5.9ish up to vote #80, and then at #110 it settled at ~6.3 until rollover. I really like this image.

This was one of my top shots, the angle is good, and it was sort of a "palette cleanse" in this challenge.

Strangely sad. Very effective.

Great contrast. The grit and grime of life.

I've seen better picture-taking skills at the drivers license office.

Killer tones and awesome B&W processing. Excellent mood. I'm a sucker for lonely lamp posts contrasted against skies. Very cool.

This somehow speaks to me; I like the urban chaos feel, but there is hope in movement.

I really wish I could vote on this so I could give you a good score! I really love the black and white conversion and the texture. I think you captured the mood perfectly in this.

Such good use of wide angle hear. It's a really dramatic image, very isolating.

Awesome grittiness to this image. In love with the pp'ing.

Great street scene, classic slow s/s and dreary wet "UK" weather.
