I provided this version:

Should I replace it with one of these two?

or

    This is the corner of the building and (and corner street) where Oswald was to shoot JFK.
    It's a quote by JFK, I think I have to add "JFK" somehwere to show it is from him.

    Tonight I will add (in small print): JFK, 1917-1963.

    Then I think it will be complete.

    I hate to brag, but here is why I like my picture...

    A picture can tell a story, some will say that it has to tell a story, this one says many things, all in one shot.

    -It is an historical event
    -It happened in Texas
    -The Building was a Book Depository
    -At the corner of Elm and Houston
    -The quote tells you a little about the man
    -The JFK signatures tells you about, birth, death, age at which he died.

    Someone who is not familiar with the event is sucked right into it just by looking at it, and may research a little bit more to find the full story.

    I like it. Having a strong family connection to Texas, and being a history buff I really connected with the photo. I especially like the angle and framing you choose. It takes a minute of studying to the picture for the full magnitude of what you are looking at to sink in.

    You got my vote!

    Thanks,

    This is exactly how I want this picture to be looked at.

    Less is more, IMHO. It's a nice shot as is.
