Your title totally makes me think you've just shoehorned this otherwise great shot into this challenge. Out of so many other ways to get this in ("Local artist Joe Blow has a vision" "After ten years in prison, innocent man sees freedom") you've guaranteed a slew of DNMC votes. I love the framing here - the glasses around the eyes, the hood around the face, and the whole thing off-centered. The b&w really brings the viewer to his face.

I think this photo is more about the face than the cloths as the title suggests. The photo is good but does not really show cold/weather. Good Luck.

Nice sharp photo, excellent use of frame, would have been cool to have icicles off glasses or fog on them.

This concentrates on the face. Good pic, but I think the front page title and pic should concentrate more on the entire outfit. Still good pic.

Great image but doesn't look really photojournalistic to me. I guess I think more of "out on the street" kind of shot that tells me exactly what is the story, without me having to read the title. Having said that, this is great and I like the focus, lighting and composition.

OMG too funny! Love them on the black background, fantastic lighting too! Of course it goes without saying that the expressions are absolutely priceless :-)

Good, solid portrait. I like the angle and the clarity of the eyes vs. the burriness of the rest of the photo. Skin seems a little sallow - but that could be her.

Nice view from above shot. Terrific focus on the eyes. WB a little blue, but I like the effect.
