CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

I think black and white was a good choice for this. It adds solemnity to the shot, and helps to eliminate what could possibly be distracting colors in the background. The focus is very clear and that helps to make the shot strong, in one sense.
I think many people did not understand the connection to the challenge, adn that may have hurt your score. I, for one, thought maybe Qualcomm was going out of business (which alarmed me, somewhat,as that is who made my cell phone), but wasn't sure. I also thought maybe there was something about telling the dog bye.
Perhaps you could have used a shallower depth of field to add some interest to the story behind the shot. If the man and dog were as clear as they are now, then the "QUALCOMM" part of the sign was blurry, it would be like the stadium was fading from view. But, that is just a thought.
Best wishes in future challenges.
