I know this will get slaughtered by the anal-ytical voters who don't appreciate sardonic humour, but I like it so it's in.
This guy sat out front of the fence at Ground Zero and played Amazing Grace all day, and it seemed to me that he's there regularly. I don't know if you've been to Ground Zero or not, but if you're like me and you can hear ghosts, I would strongly caution you against going. I haven't had a moments peace since i was there, and that was three days ago. There are a lot of tortured souls still there.
I'm serious.
Someday maybe I'll write about it.

Great shot P. I just realized this guy is familiar. A friend of mine recently took a similar shot. I like yours a lot. //bobjagendorf.smugmug.com/gallery/241358/1/10259571/Medium
I think its a great photo, but more then that, one that tells a story. Thanks so much for entering that photo. A photo of the skyline may have done better in voting, but this is so much more telling and emotive.
This has got to be one of the most moving recent images of Ground Zero I've seen, I can feel the ghosts. Am adding it to my favourites so I can come back to it and remember.
This photo was my favorite in the challenge and should have done much better. Maybe you wouldn't see it in a travel guide, but it certainly depicts NYC. IMHO the legs in the foreground make the shot.
The highlighting was probably done in PS, but I love it! This picture really brings the subject into focus and lends emotion to the image. Excellent use of b&w and DOF.
What a GREAT shot! The only one that had a WOW factor for me so far! I would hope that ya get a ribbon! Congrats ahead of time, and if not, you got one from me!
