Black-And-White Photo Competition 3 2014 : Entry Number 110

The tones of this photograph are what captures us first. Historic, dramatic, and then we see the face of the boy and the box. For a moment we wonder if it is a FedEx delivery or the last days on Earth. It an unusual image, and it has so many layers in an overall interesting composition with perfect tonality.
