 The Young Scholars, dressed in business attire, were visiting the Lincoln Memorial. This guy bought a Lincoln top hat to remember the experience. His uncanny likeness of a young Lincoln caught my eye. For me, a science fiction time warp story comes to mind.

this was my top score of the challenge, just outstanding composition. His face is a bit soft but it is matching the nostalgic feel of the pp

Well, no 1 score, noticed that too :D

Great use of perspective, the picture looks "weird", but not in a bad way.

Congrats!

I can't exactly explain it, but this has all the charm of a 100-yr-old photograph & all the precision of modern digital photography all in the one composition. The grey sky works well for this, it's framed well, composed well, good tones. Very well done.
