 Driving around I saw this poor guy trying to attract some business. Just seemed very ironic. I drove around to the opposite side of the road to get a good perspective of the shoveled snow behind him. I was across a four lane divided highway and had to wait for the traffic to pass to get a clean shot. Used my Canon 20D and a 70-200 mm lens.

This is brilliant. That pile of snow seems to represent his frustration, the pile of crap between him and his dreams. I should have given this higher than a 7.

I like this one. I think that the man could be a little more off the side of the frame, but it still sends a funny message. I can just hear his mind thinking "what the hell" as he stands by the pile of snow advertising for car washes. I'm not sure, though, if he'd rather be standing there or out washing cars. I like the colors that you captured, giving this one an oddly warm feeling. Nice eye and nice capture.

I hope some of this ice is still around for the ice challenge, but it's a nice composition. I love the look on the guy's face.

What a find! His look says it all - nicely echoed by the wall of dirty snow.
