DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS :
Panhandling seems to be more of a norm among stopped traffic. The person wearing a "patriotic" mask with the Stars and Stripes.
I chose to take the photo based on the fact that the person can not be identified.
Taken with an iPhone X, zoomed a bit to frame the subject.
Judge's Critique:
Seems to be a cellphone photograph. Subject is framed in the center of the image. The image appears to be grainy and is lacking contrast. Not so sure this represents a “New Normal”. I have seen panhandlers on the street wearing buffs before COVID. See the Digital Critique for example of contrast and notice how I was able to minimize the window reflection through adding a subtle vignette.
