		| | Nice juxtaposition.  I'd like to have seen more of the police car though--it seems a bit extreme in crop. |

		| | I see the city life in the photo so you conveyed the feeling well.  I don't care for the police car cut in half like this though. |

		| | Contrast could help this a lot, blacks black and whites white. |

		| | great shot, the police car in foreground really reinforces the seedy side of city life as does the Hustler Club.  B&W gives it an old time feel.....8 |

		| | I'd actually have liked to see some selective color on this shot, but it succeeds in B&W, as well. |

		| | Interesting but a little confined in perspective; seems also to cry out for the addition of people in the picture |

		| | I love the subject.  The police car is a bit distracting.  Is this Baltimore? |

		| | Challenge - Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
 - Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
 
 Compostion
 - Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? I might take a bit off the left side, just before you hit the P in Police. Nothing there that adds to the image.
 - Is there anything missing? My eye wants to see more of the sign on the right side.
 - Good use of Depth of Field? Yes
 
 Lighting
 - Good use of light? Yes
 - Are there any over-blown highlights? No
 - Good use of shadows? Yes
 - Are there any overly dark shadows? No
 
 Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
 - What is my reaction or feelings? Although there are no people (read as life) the image give a sense of expectation. There will be activity later. It's safe for your wives, daughters, and sisters now, but it'll be dark soon...

		| | Black & White = correct choice for this subject. Maybe showing _more_ of the police car would have made it even better? |
