I spent Saturday afternoon wandering around downtown San Diego looking for shots for the challenge. Here are the 3 best from the day. No time for a reshoot as I'll be going out of town mid-week.

1. Look the Other Way

3. Afternoon Concert

    1 and 2 really tell a story for me. Especially #2. Nice shots. I would have personally liked a little closer shot of #1 but it's cool nonetheless.

    Definitely #1 for me. clap.gif
    It tells a clear story even without the title and the 2 homeless people being slightly out of focus adds to the effect as if even the camera (viewer) didn't really want to see them.

    #2 also works but without the title I wouldn't necessarily have known what was happening/going to happen.

    Thanks for the comments, everyone. This style of photography is definitely outside my comfort zone, so it's nice to know they aren't total trash! :D

    My votes for #2. I can totally see this as a story of the homeless issue or pandering, etc. With #1, this story is not as clear. #3 just doesn't say much at all.
