This would definitely make me blue! Nice job... like how you made the background blue and the deck of cards are blue as well, subtle but nice... good luck!

Comment by Gracious:
Truly photojournalistic since it clearly tells a story. YOur choice to go black and white works fine, but the focus is soft. I'm guessing you may have taken this from a car window.
I think a different perspective could have had more of an impact. Perhaps closer to your subject, with the Mobil sign in the bg, and the traffic not taking up 1/3 of the image. It isn't necessary to the picture and is distraction.
You picked an excellent subject that is newsworthy.

Good point of view and composition. It appears over processed though. DPz

Good catch. Bang on topic. Looks like a photo journalist in the making.
