Innocent Victims

This is one of a series of shots I took at the Eyes Wide Open exhibition in San Francisco. Combat boots were laid out all over the place representing all the U.S. soldiers killed in the Iraqi War. What I didn't expect were the thousands of pairs of *other* shoes surrounding the combat boots that represented the Iraqi civilians that were killed.

Please tell me what you think.

intriguing photo; recommend cropping top and right sides for more dramatic effect

Thanks, Don! So you think cropping out the black border at the top and the more distant right-side while leaving the black border on the left will give it more dramatic effect? I was having difficulty thinking of a nice way to compose this shot. Now that I look at it again, I feel like cropping out more of the black border. What do you think?
