A very strong image with great political overtones. Those images that move.

This is a great one Jeannel. I wish that you panned out a bit more so that the box with the newspapers in it was a little more obvious. Right now it is beautifully abstranct, but showing more would give context to what you are seeing. Great overlaid images. I didn't get to vote in this challenge so I'm just seeing this photo now!

Great tribute to a great pioneer of civil rights. I like the gritty feel this image has - as someone said, timeless. I think this should have scored higher, but I think the very slight tilt of the newspaper inside the rack and the harsh lighting hurt your score. I still like it a lot. :-)

The transparency here if I'm not mistaken is by the newspaper rack, in this case, with some art spray painted on it against the daily paper. I like it but might be viewed differently by the common DPC folk and could be potentially voted down. I say it a great try and a good "outisde of the box" image.

Your image has a very photo-journalistic style to it. Even though the event is recent, the grayscale gives it a timeless quality.

wish the picture was stronger.. as in more contrast or sharper... a bit washed out to me.
