Interesting take on the challenge! I think this might have a little more impact if it were cropped tighter. Focusing more on the reporter and the paper with the lines on it (crop a lot from the left).
This is one of the sharpest photos I have ever seen. The detail is amazing and full of lines. I find the composition a bit lacking because it is so cluttered, but understandable for this type of shot. Very well executed. BradP?
