New Year's in NOLA

This is a very well-written piece, with some really great imagery. Your descriptive language is neither too wordy nor short of details, and everything flows perfectly. Most importantly, like Justin said, this article is both powerful and concise. It grabbed my attention and didn't let go until I was finished reading.

I really don't have much to complain about. Perhaps it could have been a bit longer. The ability to say so much in so little words is a clear sign of good writing, as is the fact that it left me wanting more... but even so, the article was a bit on the short side.

This piece of writing, though short, brought me closer to the disaster in New Orleans than most of the footage or documentaries I've seen on television. Good job.
