| Pity to see this entry so underrated (in my opinion). Someone mentioned the background not being inviting with the trash bin - I disagree. I think it's perfect since it adds to the story and gives a sense of where this occurs (love CAN be found anywhere, even in the back streets next to the trash cans) and it also balances the composition nicely. I think it's an incredible capture - Just not DPC friendly because there's no dramatic storm clouds or clean studio lit set ups. Beautiful candids like this unfortunately do get underrated on DPC. |

Oh man, I thought it said "Free Drugs" - Doh! I was all set to head for Toronto. Looks like I'll have to book a flight to Amsterdam. ;-)
Heehee j/k. I don't do hugs-- I mean drugs. :)
Nice job. Underrated a bit, IMO. |

| This is just so cool. I know how hard it is to tell a story with a picture and have everything contribute and nothing distract. 10 |

| Like the selective desat you used, adds alot of interest. So where exactly do you get these free hugs? |

| This is so funny. Anyone going to that dismal street would definitely need a hug. |

| What a heart warming picture - it made me smile. I love the story it tells. My guess is that you'll probably get some voters nitpicking the fact that the focus is soft, but personally I think it adds to the feel of the picture and gives it a sense of realism. Very nicely done also with the selective desaturation that highlights the subjects. I LOVE it. 10 |

| This is a fun to look at photo. At first I wanted to say that the postcard text is too small, but it actually works better in an understated manner. The photo, while interesting, is a bit too grainy and blurry for me to be a strong image. Clever use of it though for this challenge. Hmmm. Good luck. |

| Although I don't think the photo is stellar - blurry, etc. - this is so creative that I've got to bump it up. 6. |

| Nice idea with the free hugs, but the background is not very inviting with the trash bin. |
