Spanning the ages

Comments and critiques are welcomed. Thanks for looking. Bill

I really like this picture, the composition and subject matter are both interesting. A couple of comments: the light strip to the left of the man is slightly over-exposed but I suppose it was a necessary evil to get the angle of the shot. Although the colors are quite pleasing, I actually think this would be better in black and white. Lastly, this photo seems to have been pushed to the very limits of usability; the pixels are starting to show their ugly little heads. I know a lot of resolution is lost in my photos when I resize them for P.N. Is that the case here, or scanning problems or having to push the image in order to get enough brightness? This image just jumped right out at me on thumbnail it was when I looked at the full image I noticed the problems above. Regards, Jack
