1st Place
Eyes closed .... To the eyes of fear

What must run through the minds of those that must walk the streets of voilent neighbourhoods?
Some say that the word "F.E.A.R" is "False Evidence Appearing Real".... Or is it more real for some?

Thanks Nugar. My post-processing involves levels, local contrast enhancement (20,r=50), USM, high dynamic range technique using the canon D60 dSLR camera profile, and PS selective color function to bring out the depth, richness and colour that the pro1 actually captures in the RAW format. I had considered cropping off the right as you suggest, which would leave the woman at a more 1/3 rule from a compositional POV, but felt the extra distance behind her would convey the "walk of fear" alittle more.

Very nice image, Richard. I would maybe crop a bit of the right side of the picture. But as it is, it highlights the loneliness/helplessness of the woman in the rough neighbourhood. Would you share with us your post processing?
