RAGE! Great shot, all the elements are there, if DPC were a progressive thinking crowd this would have ribboned for sure.

So is this one of those shots where you just pointed your camera and hoped that others haven't seen it a million times? Aside from it looking a tad acted everything else just comes together perfectly. I love how the rage has an invisible force, carried out like a distortion wave that permeates throughout the photo, yet the "machine" is given a physical presence by way of the cage that houses the subject. The fact that the left side of the gate seems weaker (larger gaps between the bars) heightens the success of the "blow". Fantastic shot.

Willie? I heard he was 80 a few weeks ago. Looks like it too. Maybe someone else. Nice one, Steve.

I did like seeing this one in the challenge. So off-beat. The fish-eye made it even more interesting. I love how you present these pictures of characters. Your photos make me want to know more about their story.
