I mentioned in another post about the Now Beginning Competition Themed "Headlines" being hosted by, Thomas Leuthard.

I encourage all our Dgrins Members to participate. It is a serious Street Competition and I think it
would be a Hoot if one of us walks away with Top Honors. With such a large repository of talent that resides here, I feel that is more then possible.

Above are my two current attempts.

    Very interesting contest... and good luck!

    I like the second one. It is a strong entry with the "headline" and the chaos of the bodies. The motion blur adds to the shot.

    #2 is good, but #1 can be a metaphor for how much we exclude; my preference

    They're both good, Ben. The expression on the woman in the background is what saves #2 from being a nullity. But I agree with Rags. #1 is far more powerful.

    Both are good shots I have always thought about capturing an image in an elevator brave stuff,however I think # 1 is the strongest of the two. I am curious about your height did you raise your arms up in the elevator to get this shot or are you a giant ?

    I'd prefer #1 as the title "headlines" places those well, above her head. I like the empty space of the wall as well along with the simple planter and nothing else.

    Thanks for the input Folks. Good to hear I'm on the right track.
    Yes #1 would be my pick, but I have time :D

    I'm going to shoot square the rest of the month, never done that before.
