Bill's photo was the very first one uploaded for this contest! A very well composed photograph; I really love all of the lights, shadows and color in this image. Bill is truly an artist to be cherished here at pbase. I encourage everyone to visit Bill's pbase site, his work is most inspiring and I am sure he will have some fine ideas for the 140th contest. Congratulations Bill!

Thanks for the 4th place Terry! Great bunch of photos and a different and interesting topic. Made me think about making an effort to create more of these moody shots.

Thanks Terry for picking mine as the winner and the most flattering comment to go along with it. Now I know a new photographic term I hope I can remember. Congrats to those that placed and get ready to all for the next one.

Speaking of which, I am on work travel through Friday and will post a new competition when I get home this weekend.
