The inspiration for this photo was the infamous shot of Capone as he was being escorted to jail in 1932. The tittle was to be "Al Capone, 1932' but I typed 1937 instead; by the time I noticed the error it was too late to correct it . Many thanks to all of you that commented on my photo and voted. Also, thanks to Manuel for graciuosly dressing up and posing for this picture.

I think you were robbed. I do not understand how a candid picture could have taken third place. IMO, not only planned but staged shots have the largest merit, and, in that sense, yours is one of the top three along with the photos in 2nd and 4th place. Congratulations for the photo and the great score.
This is a great shot! The lighting is perfect, totally captures the theme of the challenge! And "Capone" looks like a natural with that earpiece! 10 for me!
i like the lighting on Capone's face a lot, but I think a little more light on the ear piece would make this come off a little better - it is just a little dark on my monitor and fear it would be worse on others. Gets a 9 from me
Besides the creativity, perfect lihghting and composition, I like how this image pefectly depicts the topic of the challenge. One of my favorites. It should be fighting in the top 5 for a ribbon.
