This is a textbook perfect picture of where Kennedy was shot. This picture is permanently etched in my mind from seeing it over and over and over. This as good as, and better than, most pictures in textbooks, newsreels, and old newspapers. I know because I have the old newspapers and was studying for college finals that day in 1963. This is a 1st place winner anytime. PTL.

Did you provide the "X" or is it really a permanent feature?

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at here. Looks like the shadow of another building IMO. The picture itself is fairly well taken. Not particularly interesting and I'm not sure why it's B&W. It may add mood to the pic, but not really understanding the theme, that's impossible to tell. - Inspzil

1963? Is my memory as good as your photography skills. This shot says they are a 10 and your challenge is a 10.

I assume thats a Dallas Book repository? Is that cross always on the road or did you put it there. So wheres the grassy knoll??

Good choice on turning the picture into greyscale - gives a sort of eerie feeling...

Wonderful. Makes you think. Good treatment. Wouldn't have worked in colour as well.

Dallas. Nice shot. Lucky you didn't get hit by a car taking this. LOL I like it but wish the top of the building wasn't cut off. Picky..sorry. Justine 7

I'm not sure whether the Kennedy assassination would fall under "Urban Legend" so much as "Conspiracy Theory," but not bad nontheless :) I'm curious to see how many people actually know where this is just by the picture! I'll bet I'm one of only a handful of people who will know where this is. - alansfreed

YEah, but who really knows the truth? It's locked up in a file somewhere... maybe.

Excellent ! I hope the Europeans get it as well. Very nicely done. The "X" makes the photo as does the B & W. DPz
