Very nicely done Mark! The light rays are great. What is that on the right side of the frame?It looks like a dogs head??Nice monochromatic feel.

Thanks Denise. The "dog", which I believe you refer to, is a wheel chair for those that might need it. It lost something in the transition, but I wanted to leave it as it is a strong symbol of the scene. I have added the original, with some modifications that I did for another use, for your reference.

Very moving image. The radial blur pulls you right to the perfect point of the image.
