Great rust textures. Could be in better focus, its a bit too soft. I do, however, like the placement of that fishing net. good luck.

Marlboro World

This is so good on so many levels; it just couldn't be staged without an extremely disgusting level of difficulty. TheDepth of focus and the bum in the back left is nice.

I would say, I am about as anti-smoking as you can get; and cigarette smoking is a nasty habit; but hell, its a bit wrong to call this "marlboro world," for several reasons. Firstly, Marlboro are not low end cigarettes. Most Bums would probably smoke generics.(f there was a bottle of Grey Goose on the ground would you get away with calling it "Grey Goose world"? probably not.)

Also, Cigarettes may be the ultimate gateway drug, but its mental illness or drug abuse that makes you end up shoeless in trackpants under a bridge somewhere, not Marlboro cigarettes. "Crack world" or "gas huffing world" or even "schizophrenia world" would be better titles.

Sorry for the long tirade; I do like the picture alot. best of luck.

Terrific execution and fantastic imagination. I guess one could nit-pick the details but thats not really necessary or fair, just a great entry.

My pick of the challenge; normally I can't stand pet shots- but this is done so well for this challenge. White on White, a tiny chihuahua and some great negative space. Really Nice.

I love the graffit feel to the signs, I think the slightly underexposedness works here; you get a really great feel of sun and shade on a city walk; I also like how the viewers eye is pulled in and up. Nice shot.
