Yay! Somebody else used Courier. You see, there used to be this thing called a typewriter, and gritty cities like Seattle had, like, writers and, like, journalists, and stuff, and so a typewriter font conveys grittiness... I feel your pain. 9

My pick in this challenge. This would make an awesome poster/print (and it might find a home in my office). Terrific lighting/mood. Normally the barges ruin the shots from Alkai... but they actually HELP in this scene. Well done!

This doesn't seem very inviting for a postcard, but its a good photo. I would have placed the lettering differently. I think it is distracting.

Nicely reinforces the Seattle reputation. You could find a better font. And I'd place it where it didn't block the entrance to the dock. Actually it blocks the entrance to the whole photo.

This is a nice shot, I like the way the pier leads out with the skyline in the background. The blue tones are nice too, and help give the feel of a dreary day. Unfortunately, I would have rather seen this in something like a "rain" challenge. It just seems so sad and depressing, and makes me want to stay away from Seattle. The text also seems just thrown on. I think I might have liked to see it lower to the bottom of the postcard, and a different font.

A nice idea and execution. One suggestion: IMHO, a crop right below the text would have been an improvment.

This is awesome. It just captures the essence of Seattle :-) 8.

I love this idea, but I think the horizontal band of light reflecting at the bottom is distracting. Maybe crop a bit higher and bring down the words a bit?

I really like this. Great blue tones. Not wild about the font, but no marks taken for that.
