I agree, this will be a hard one to compete against. So perfect and truly urban from the style of the "homies" to the graffiti on the wall. I am originally from philly so I truly understand this walk of life.
I guess it was lucky for me that the urban theme was the assignment this week. I shot these guys yesterday as a promo for their band. I have more posted on my filckr site. Still have a bunch more photos to go through too.
Great shot, would have preferred to see the feet and also made the verticals, vertical. However you managed a much better feel than i got with my graffitti.
Take care

Definitely the coolest capture! Nothing even close to this in the Ozarks. In fact, I couldn't find anything that said 'urban' in our little mountain town of 12,000, but this one says it without trying.
Love the colors....and I think they should love their album cover!
