I think it is an outstanding picture: it resembles an architectural ink drawing (no doubt helped by the extremely high black and white contrast) while it bears a complex social commentary on the life in Romania in the mid 1990s. Those few pathetic, lonely Dacias driving around in a caroussel-like circle make the picture almost surreally bizarre. It is certainly a great photograph.

Great view! Well done!

Excellent...love the way you have also got the cars balanced but with sufficient difference not to make it perfectly symmetrical.

i have seen `palaces` built under even harsher and darker circumstances but nobody would make fuss about those they do make about this one it could i assume be yet another proof that people are stupid – that is to say most of them (we are of course to be excluded)
i have seen cathedrals elsewhere built in the name of god and jesus christ the saviour and his mother the virgin by inflicting hardships and pain on the ones used to raise them
and people go there and marvel
drooling foolishly
what is so wrong about romanians that everybody has to blame them

the huge building looks great because of the choice of colours – black and white and the inescapable grey
it makes it look like a drawing – those artists of long ago that did not have tv sets or the internet to sprinkle energy over like crazy but instead would spend weeks or months or years working on something that would last forever in the minds of men
or architects that would draw every single detail of their stone jewels until their finger would drop the pen and the body be so exhausted it would not be able to find the tiniest amount of energy to have the hand pick the pen up
those things are gone and buried
they might not have been better but people in those times were more human – more caring and compassionate and dedicated

the car thing (if it is indeed meant to be a metaphor) might be a bit too simple – they go round and round as if doomed to never escape the circle of death – never die but forever taste the fear of the great darkness beyond
nice idea/intention but a bit too straightforward for a metaphor (i.e., the highest form of witty equivocality) to hit the very core of the matter
because – in this case - too politically/socially overt

ps also the building is not level (though both the right and the left wings bend towards the centre) is it a trick that could be associated to cropping – to show in yet another metaphor that it the system is all bound to collapse eventually (though we could remember pisa and then...) - or simply a lens slightly wrong
