* Greeetings from the Critique Club *

WOW... I have to try to comment on this one, huh? Yikes!

First of all, spectacular job! This was one of my favorites from the challenge (in fact I gave it a 10). I can't believe you actually shot this through the storefront glass and didn't have any glare/noise. The colors are outstanding. The composition and angle of the shot are perfect. There are a couple of ties (orange in middle left and purple in upper right) that are slightly out of focus, but that's only noticeable at extreme close-up.

You managed to really wow me with the color & lighting - especially now that I know you shot it through the glass. I don't know how you managed to keep that interference at a minimum, but you definitely know your way around PP or you got really lucky! LOL

What else can I say... Outstanding job & congratulations!

Just my 2 cents...

Jimmy

Images containing repeated objects without a specific central focal point typically do not do well at DPC but are favorites of mine. Glad to see this fine image ribbon. Congratulations!
