I am planning on having this photo printed, then I am going to put these comments and the pic, along with a package of No-Doze into en envelope, and leave it there at his stop for him to find... wish I could get a shot of the look on his face as he sees the envelopes contents!

How fun that I should draw this photo to comment on. I love this one!
Not only do I find this shot fun but it's really a good shot considering the sun-shadow. I think the photographer and the camera did a good job of compensating.

This shot is about humor. Poor guy trying to get 40 winks and he's caught on camera! I can imagine all kids of humorous titles for this shot. It's very good for the challenge.

The composition, crop is good along with good color. I'd of adjusted the levels a bit so we could see more of his face.

Very candid! I like it a lot. But somehow it looks unbalanced and as if the guard falls out of the frame in the next second. I know it may sound silly, but that's my impression when I look at it. It's probably because of the angle. -stephan

Interesting news item, might look more journalistic in black and white...

Great title and shot. Too much empty space on left. Doesn't add to photo. Great shade and sun. Nice color and focus. PTL6

Nice picture, but it just looks like he's relaxing at home. It would have been more realistic if he was sitting on a sidewalk bench near a crosswalk or something of the sort.
