 Shot this out of the window at a stoplight downtown. I couldn't believe the name of the newspaper showed through the slats.. thus the title.

I love this photo. It looks so dpc-friendly too -- I'm so surprised this isn't one of the top finishers.

Nice work, Judi. I like the high contrast and grittyness!

I like the strong contrast of this and the bit of the newspaper box (I think it is) peeking out through the slats in the bench.

Like the composition and great contrast - But took much of a dark thing going on in his leg wear.

Nice, dark, contrasty, and you've kept the detail. Great shot.

The tones are a little dark...too much lost detail.

A little too dark in places. There should be some separation in his legs at least as they appear as one blob.
