| great take on this challenge...you will never score well doing it this way (oh I know I do it all the time) but certainly would have my vote (sorry I didn't vote on this one)-I really like the sign , it points out how we just go on with our normal lives, unaffected... |

Hi Arcady,
I must admit - I'm new to DPChallenge and this was my first challenge voting session for lack of better word. I think I 'judged' a few photos wrongly because I did not read that 'progress - a blessing or a curse' As others have already said, your photo is powerful and now with my new-found knowledge I realize the meaning of your photo. I was wrong, it fits the requirments superbly and I wish I could take back my vote.
In the future I will try to pay better attention - life's a dance you learn as you go - so somebody sang. |

I considered B&W, but decided that colour works well here. There are only two major colours here (blues and reds), I don't think colour is distracting here. |

I considered this, but decided it would take away too much context. The elevator is not essential here, but without it there will be very little context left at all. |

| I think this works quite well, and I suspect its a combination of the lighting which serves to make the gentlemen blend more with his surroundings (which adds to the "message", in a way) and the colors. |

| Yes, thank you. Disturbing subject matter, but gorgeous use of color. |
