I took this a few days ago in my living room, and thought: I got it. Entry done.


Then I started looking at my files, found the coke photo which I had taken while driving by and entered it because I like it. Then I began to look some more and realized it does not really fit the theme well enough, and I figured I'd leave it in and just switch my real entry in later.

Now I have about 10 photos between which I cannot decide.
Should I keep looking?

But if you have ten other contenders I can see how you’d be torn...the doggie in the window is priceless!

I like the photograph. But not for the theme.
Thanks - Lola in the window does it for me too. She lives in that window. Spits on it. Barks and counts cars.

---honestly--- it's a total natural for B&W. Love that photo, I think it marvelously depicts what all of us see and think about taking a picture of and rarely do.
Great job! And what a perfect image for the theme.

However, it does fit the theme! We were on vacation in Iceland and had gone out on this vehicle to see the icebergs (little ones!). It was fun and COLD.

to me. You can almost read the "Fleetwood" by the driver's side door.

"Last Train to Birkenau" is a magnificent photograph. The mood, the placement, the full emotion! It has everything.
Well done.
