 Thanks for the comments... I'm not sure why I thought being a part of that challenge was going to be way more fun than it actually was :(

Must be fake but quite the cast of characters! Great work.

Well I know it's faked because the pavement never looked so clean in this place outside the WTC PATH train entrance. Brilliant collection of NYC characters in proper perspective and evenly bland lighting even the blue guy. (Yes there are superheroes in NYC.) I especially like the pair of heavy hotties posing for you and I know I've seen that preacher up in Times Square. Must have taken an incredible amount of time and PS effort. I envy your skills.

Ha, it looks like a GTG with all those cameras. It's just crazy enough to be REAL. that's my guess.

Not sure what the tricky might be, it seems real enough.

This is a difficult one. With all the memorials going on now, this event is very well possible.

Thanks for reminding me how much I miss shooting in New York. I say it's B.

I think there is a lot of compositing going on here. The color temperature on the guy on the far left doesn't seem to match the rest of the picture; and his neck seems to have some sort of shadowy growth on it (leftover background). There are interesting highlights around the feet of the blue-shirt-camera-guy. The prophet's left arm is slightly see through. The police officer looks like he's in different lighting. Captain America's sign seems to be missing a contact shadow on the ground. And the middle guy in the black shirt looks too friendly and interesting to be from NYC (kidding on that). Also, the two women posing are posing for...who?

I'm probably wrong on most of this stuff, but this is what I see. Still, I bet this picture took some time!

Not real - probably. Or if real, showing some post processing artifacts.

Great job on this. I've been looking at it for a long while & I've decided... Paul Revere, The Tattoo Apprentice & the Religious Right man are all P.shop? Ok, maybe not. But defo the Religious Right Man? I'm really not sure. But I do love that Captain America took the time to take some pics with the kiddos ;)

Some of those people look photoshopped in.

looks to me like a lot of the people were placed into the scene lots of cameras pointing all different directions but maybe that's what it's like at ground zero, haven't been there

Not real. The policeman gives it away.
