 I'm kinda second guessing this choice. However, I really like this photo and don't think many of my landscape shots will do well in this specific challenge, and my architecture photos would probably do worse than this because of the audience.

Post: Thanks for all your comments. Im guessing the drug part brought my score down, despite the title (this is an anti-drug photo if you look at the title). Maybe people just didn't think about this long enough to figure out what I was trying to say.

I have decided that I'm a prude...I find these kind of pictures to be disturbing. I have a hard time seeing the picture for the abuse that I see happening...I know it's all pretend...I will say that your detail is very good..sorry to disappoint you

Well executed, and the caption is an important part of the story being told. Technically the exposure, focus, and light are near ideal. One of my favorites - 8.

Nice dirty processing here.

Great title really fits this image. Good one.

Good processing that suits the subject matter.

Can't say I enjoy shots depicting drug use. Just doesn't move me.
