There is a burden to winning. Not a big burden for those with experience. I remember my first time hosting. It was horrible. Each time it gets better, now it is fun.

I also liked leaving the arena.
I liked the warm colors of Leaving NY. The foreground was dark, making the flag stand out even more. The guy with the backpack over his shoulder and his heroic stance caught my eye. There was a halo around the character. I don't know what caused that. I guess it could have been from being backlit. It wasn't camera shake because the flag and the rest of the background looked fine.
