 Taken Saturday in downtown Dallas while I was driving around looking for candids. I was waiting for a traffic light to turn green when the blue of the building across the intersection caught my eye. I had very little time to grab my camera while rolling down the window before I had to drive forward. I thought about circling around and going back for a second try but I didn't.

The blue is a very dominant color in this shot, and it gives it a more hopeful, uplifting feeling that contrasts greatly with the subject.

Love the deep contrasty blue in this image. Your subject is a little lost against this tho

Good (if slightly depressing) image capturing the hopelessness that some people face on a day to day basis

I like the wider crop ion this shot. Really shows him in his environment and emphasizes the title you put with the photo. Nice job.

Apt title - I might have cropped in tighter a little. Amazing blue wall.

Good vivid blue to make the subject and the cup stand out.
