Excellent capturing chaotic, bright, but lacks human interaction. Should be 4-5th place
Some ideas after the shot.
I'm sure ArtRoflmao would've had a handful of wooden people.
Or why not make a montage with a slew of magazine faces or people and put it on an easel.
Just hold up a sign FREE for first 5-20 people.
Then, only when they all arrive, tell them they get to see a Live Photographic Session and be part of it for FREE, just make like a crowd.
Close-in always makes a few look like a crowd, like when the Channel NBC zooms in close in their filming street in New York. The SNL studio audience is actually small, but cameras zoom in and don't show the back.
I have always loved images like this. I find my eye popping back and forth between the reflection and the items behind the glass. Capturing such clear layers and crisp reflections during the day is something I always find hard to do, making the execution here that much more impressive. Great execution all around!
