 Public Latrines, Buckingham Fountain, Chicago

I was waiting for the light to change ... and the throng just swarmed around the port-a-potties. I feel bad for the guy on the left at the end of the line ... it looked like he couldn't wait any longer.

Tech: rotated to correct the tilt, autolevels, brightness/contrast, saturation, resize and unsharp mask.

ah .... how slylyand yet brazenly the water fountains on the left taunt the protective urinators. I can sleep in peace knowing that everyone thought you were nuts taking this picture- and that I have used brazenly in a sentence today.

Rating: 3/5 for concept (aka meeting the challenge), and 3/5 for technique, for a score of 6. If you had rotated yourself to be to the left of the port-a-potty waiting line, perhaps you could have cut out some of the distracting left hand background?

The row of toilets is tilted clockwise, but what I can't get past is that there's nothing to connect me to this image. It's just a line of toilests with completely disassociated subjects walking in front of it. If your subject was meant to be the line it may have helped to take the shot from a perspective that puts more people in the frame.

Picture seems to be somewhat extra vivid. A little bit if toned down colors could have produced a pleasant effect

I see FIVE unoccupied pots. Why the line at the one on the left? Is that the only one with paper?

Very nice interpretation of the challenge.
