Well...upon further consideration...wtf did i submit this? Anyway I did like the composition and the subject though the processing was over the top. I was working on my USM mega radius style (i find halos around my subjects very renaissance, maybe it will be hip in photography in a few hundred years).
Great expression captured here. Interesting ghosting going on around him and the guitar case. To me overall, this seems a tad overprocessed. Still, a nice capture for this challenge :)
Man when I look at this image I see the subway. When I first seen it the instant picture in my head was the people and the subway behind me. I even smelled the subway. That is what IMO makes a photo excellent. 10 from me.
I can see dodging/burning around the subject (especially when I tilt my laptop screen) and guitar case. I heavily doubt this was basic editing. Nonetheless, I will vote as if it was legal.
