The Last Punch Out

The herd of people with breathing masks mdae me think of the last walk somewhere - I flipped the stadium and cropped out the top part to make the gate to nowhere. The bird wasn't very menacing in color - so it is "crow black" - the time clock is a clip art photo.

Surreal and political! A combination that surely fits our times. I am curious about the grassy green background; it does seem to fit the dream/nightmare quality, but compositionally, it may be a distraction, being so colorful compared to the stark palette of the rest of the picture. But it is a very powerful and thoughtful image.

I think what strikes me most in this image is the icon of the minute/hour hand at 12 and the worker being a "hour hand" also in the alignment, good one.

"Thank you for helping us maximizing shareholder value."

I'm thinking of all those who has been let go to relocate their jobs to low-salary countries. Often I think, in order for the management to make an extra bonus. So, are any of the Lehman brothers in prison yet? I'm getting political in reacting to this, great job Laurie! /Tormod

No way did I recognize the gate with the original stadium shot. What a theme! could be out of a sy/fy thriller. I like your imagination.
