Love it, really don't know why, but it just has that pop that I like, like the feel of darkness all around too...9

Next time, try focusing on the eyes. They look like empty sockets--very spooky. I don't really like that his ears are folded back. That's just weird.

I like the grain effect, it does give the feel of a newspaper. The picture itself isn't very interesting though. Could you have gone with a different angle? I know you are trying to show the beach and ATV together but readers trust headlines(sometimes). It may not have been necessary to show the beach as much. I think an angle looking up from the left front tire with the police officer looking down would have been cool. It would make him look more authoritive. Just a thought. I really like the title, one of the better ones of the challenge. Good work and good luck in the challenge:)

Definately a 'newspaper' photo... I assume you know the officers in the shot? Or did you pretend to be from the local paper? :-).

I can tell you purposely desaturated the pic and added noise for a "newspaper
effect..... I like it. Composition with much of the beach in view works well with the title.
