    #1 and #3 do it for me.

    I really like the overall 'feel' #1 presents. It's cold and I know it from the image. People are just trying to get around and your shot gives me the feeling it's difficult which it probably is. It's just a really nice shot to me and wonderfully composed/exposed.

    #3 provided me a bit of a surprise. I had only scrolled down to the bottom of the window glass and studied the shot. I liked the reflection and her face telling me a story of 'another dang snow day - argh..." But then I scrolled down to see the billboard and the rest of the shot. "It Starts Here" sort of changed the whole perception for me. The opposite facing faces is interesting.

    Hard to choose between 1 and 3 but I think 3 is terrific! It reminds me of the polarization in our country these days, with people going in opposite directions. As an historian, I really like the inclusion of Washington and the text. Overall, a wonderful shot IMO!

    I'm not sure whether to be flattered or insulted. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, Scott - particularly for the analysis.
