Layers Photography

This image by Sam Abell was shown to us when he visited our school.  Abell's presentation was very intriguing and it inspired me to go out and "make" pictures.  This picture in particular, one of National Geographic's top 50 pictures of all time, has amazing layers.  The space between the bucket and one of the guys is a very profound compositional aspect, even though it seems like a minor detail.
Though I couldn't capture the layering idea quite like Sam Abell, I thought I was successful in this image.  There is some overlapping going on which is frustrating, however I am happy with the way this image turned out.  If I were to give myself a grade on this photo, I'd give myself a 92
