Thanks for all of the great scores. I shot this with the idea that the streets are always moving, over-stimulating, and teaming with energy. The blown out highlights and slight movement in the capture are intentional. I think this lost me some points, but overall I am really happy with the capture, the scores, and the comments. Thanks to my incredibly talented neighbor, Kendra Morris, who modeled for this shot. May I add that she is quite a musician.
Thanks to all,

Clever use of the Virgin sign, although I might have been tempted to place the model just a little further to the right of it so that the connection takes a second or two longer for the viewer to make. The stretch limo certainly adds to the feel of the shot - interesting capture.
Bumping to 10. Excellent challenge interpretation. Street smarts is the first thing this image makes me think of. The blur and blown highlights somehow add to the non-conventional feel. That's what the street is about, right? Like the off-centered composition as well. My choice for blue ribbon.
i like the motion and life of the shot - the placement of the limo in the background is really good - but it just seems a bit too overexposed in the background for my taste
