Welcome to the Midnight Mission

This is the front of the Midnight Mission in Los Angeles' skid row, with some of our city's homeless lined up out front trying to get a bed for the night. The line extends down the block to the right.

This was a drive by shot...slow down, roll down the window, snap and step on the gas. I couldn't really stop to consider the composition. I'm sure you understand. ;-)
Great piece of work. Well done.

B&W works well with this. I'd bump up the contrast a little however.

@webfoot Yep, I see what you mean. Editing is a problem for me for 2 reasons: 1) I don't really have an 'eye' for it, and 2) I downloaded Picasa and the editing tools are real different than WIndows Photo Gallery. There's a lot more of them, which is great, but I'm still trying to get a handle on all the options I have to work with now.

Great B&w

I like the way this came out, the b&w really adds to it.

Good shot and I agree that you need more contrast for this B&W photo. It is a rather sad photo to see but a reality.
