Escape From NYC

Nicely done...like the sign and the money in the cap is a nice touch. I do have to add that IMHO it looks set-up, in that the box he's sitting on is clean and the clothing is also clean and neatly pressed. The shoes only have minor scuffing. I could be all wrong and you could have found a decently-dressed, clean, neat homeless kid. Anyway, it's a well-executed idea, could have a bit more impact if he were more "weathered." :o)

Cute idea...love the background. Pink works well; allows the text to pop out. Good composition and lighting.

Well done. I suspect you might get some bizarre comments from those who don't see the point, but it's a well-executed photo with a strong message. :o)

Simplicity in all its glory. I really like this shot. The DOF works well, the angle is dramatic and visually interesting, and the border is effective and non-intrusive. Very well done.

I like the idea of this shot, but there are a couple of things that IMHO could make it just a bit more powerful...a discernable body instead of the blackness, and making the diagonal just a bit more angled up on the right end (corner to corner). The lightest parts of the jeans are a bit bright on the bottom right corner. Good idea...:o)

Very pretty...love the placement of the palm tree. The bright horizontal band on the horizon where the water meets the sky is just a tad bit distracting but not overwhelming. :o)
