very interesting lighting and texture. can you elaborate a bit on what your 'grunge' technique is? and how was this picture lit? . . . anyway, splendid work!

lets try that again....

crop #2

very nice picture. not sure i like the building at the top. i think its distracting and takes away from the otherwise ethereal quality of the picture. at first i thought this was shot maybe in afghanistan/pakistan, looks very remote and tribal. then when you see the building, it looks like much more accessible, perhaps even a tourist pavillion. i think having the building in the picture is the difference between a nice picture and a 'timeless' picture. i've included two alternatae crops here for discussion. keep in mind that had the photographer composed the image differently when he shot it (ie: without the building), it would look different than merely cropping it after. that said, this is a very nice picture, and this is purley meant as constructive criticism and a point of discussion!
