Rick, the way you composed this, with the tilt and the road lines makes this a real eye-catcher. I think it expands the subject from road kill to the entire road. Graphic in more than one way.

Very unique image Rick with your signature 'Artistic Flare'.
Sad yet Compelling, Regretful yet Intriguing.
Well Done . . . :cool:

PLDT! Poor Little Dead Thing. Unfortunately for the nocturnal creatures a common occurrence.

I like your use of lines from the road in your comp.

Ouch! Too bad. Interesting composition Rick. This might also fit in the Environmental Photojournalism category.
