    Before or after the crime? It's to late to stop or too early to make it ? There's a sense of doubt in this great shot and this makes it very fit for the theme. You've got my vote

    So much! The intricacy of the wrought ironwork, makes the theme seem very tightly woven in content, mystery; the green in the windows gives a feeling of something sort of sickening, or ill, maybe like the gist of a killer's mind; The fact that the subject stands out of the bright light, just barely between light and dark makes me feel that he still has a choice - to leave the intricate, woven, web like world of shadows he is walking away from, and step into the light, no longer hidden - but if he goes too far, his world will be filled with sickness again- maybe of his mind, and it waits patiently.
    This photo is outstanding! Needs to be the cover of a very good mystery novel! - "Out of the Depths of Depravity" or something. Well done!

    The "feel" and look of the 351 is "dark" enough for me to vote for this shot but I really love it all. Amazing and great job bro.

    Carl, this one is amazing...I'm not sure that the figure is leaving. I get the feeling that (like Paolo) there's a sense of doubt...like he's waiting...perhaps holidng the gate for someone else...perhaps doubtful that they'll make it back?

    No mira endarrera, no vol plorar,
    ell vol anar endavant cap a un cel clar
    i, encara que amb el cor roent,
    ell se'n va content.
    I, a poc a poc, s'allunyarà
    d'aquells amics, d'aquells companys,
    de tanta gent que no veurà
    en pocs que són massa anys,
    i perquè té jove el cor
    tot ho daria a aquesta GENT
    tot el seu cos, tot l'amor,
    tota la força seva.
    No mira endarrera, no vol plorar,
    ell vol anar endavant cap a un cel clar
    i, encara que amb el cor roent,
    ell se'n va content.
