Thanks guys! I submitted another which had less commentary but was dinged for not enough light on the nose. Other than trespassing in people's yards, I only had that angle as the police pretty much closed down everything in and around the area. That and I didn't want to press my luck with the authorities.
As for the over processing...I did sharpen it to what looked acceptable on my monitor to avoid the undersharpened/soft rejection. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Rob - ironic you mentioned about it being great for the local paper. I'm a stringer for the local paper. With the exception of an occasional news story getting printed when I happened to be at the right place at the right time, I only cover mostly high school and pro football for them.
Thanks again for the input, it's always appreciated!
