Comment by kiwinick:
A good idea but the shadows take away the impact , I would have cropped out more of the bike and left more space for the Hobo.

The challenge said -Take us back to the "good ole golden rule" days! Photograph something that represents education.
With the war and Pres. Bush talking about how he prays etc, and basically being a God fearing man, and many other rulers for that matter, that coupled with on how they seem to justify the breaking of a commandment, Thou shalt not kill, is where the pic came to mind. I think many people in power aren’t necessarily idiots (see The Complete Idiots Guide to the Bible) but act like them non the same. I’m a fairly recent born again Christian. Just started taking pics a few weeks ago. Also just finished reading about exposure, etc. I’m thrilled I didn’t finish last. I’m a plumber hence my screen name is plumber711, those numbers mean something to me. I noticed that I received 11 votes of 7. My avg, vote was 4.070 ( 7 plus 4 equals 11). I’m writing a book, it may be the ramblings of a lunatic or it may â€Â¦.. I almost un-submitted this, but then again, what the hay. Thanks for ALL your comments, I really appreciate it. Also am very pleased to have come across this site and read all the comments said, good bad or indifferent about all the pics. I wasn’t pleased with the glare, took about 40 shots and the transparency was only how I wanted it on this one. Thanks again.
