EXCELLENT is ever little detail. I just noticed it won the contest. It is so very worthy. So much going on it, it is just amazing. I could sit and look for hours.

I just saw that this won first place and want to congratulate you. It's a spectacular photo and looks great in monochrome ...the image is full of rich tonal values. I really like it a lot.

Best of all - it's Canadian....yay..... :-)

A very nice shot that should do well in this contest. The composition is excellent and the details are exquisite. The black and white version has a beautiful range of tones. Best of luck in the voting.

Thanks for the great review.

Comment from FBI GUY
Simply perfectly shot. The b/w sends this shot back to another time when this was the normal activity of any small town. The amount of details you have captured gives it a feel of a detailed pen and ink drawing. The feel is that we have stepped back in time. Great work.
