At first I thought it was an arm alone detached through some grizzly event.

/\ funny comment!!

at the risk of sounding de-sensitised, i like the faint track like reflection effect: looks like tire marks. this shot is like something from a war zone. sad and striking.

the reflection adds an ominous tone... but effective nonetheless. There is a series of mirrored cylindrical columns somewhere downtown Van. that offer an interesting reflective take on street photography, similar to this.
