great take on this challenge...you will never score well doing it this way (oh I know I do it all the time) but certainly would have my vote (sorry I didn't vote on this one)-I really like the sign , it points out how we just go on with our normal lives, unaffected...
I must admit - I'm new to DPChallenge and this was my first challenge voting session for lack of better word. I think I 'judged' a few photos wrongly because I did not read that 'progress - a blessing or a curse' As others have already said, your photo is powerful and now with my new-found knowledge I realize the meaning of your photo. I was wrong, it fits the requirments superbly and I wish I could take back my vote.
In the future I will try to pay better attention - life's a dance you learn as you go - so somebody sang.
This is a powerful picture. The light is quite harsh, but maybe that's what you were after to emphasize the harsh life. I can imagine that black & white might work well in this image.
I considered B&W, but decided that colour works well here. There are only two major colours here (blues and reds), I don't think colour is distracting here.
Excellent political commentary. The only thing that disturbs me is that my eye is immediately drawn to the sign. Would cropping below the sign hurt the composition any?
I considered this, but decided it would take away too much context. The elevator is not essential here, but without it there will be very little context left at all.

I think this works quite well, and I suspect its a combination of the lighting which serves to make the gentlemen blend more with his surroundings (which adds to the "message", in a way) and the colors.
