Dualistic View of the Neighbourhood

A really interesting way of adding interest but let down a little by the weather - the sky is just too overcast to provide either the warmer lighting that would bring this alive or the interesting backdrop the would provide more colour.

Well composed, mist creates a nice muted effect, gives a feeling of serenity.

The richness of colours and of the black is wonderful as is the unusual length of the light reflections. Composition/ crop works well.

Two things I notice straight away.
Softness (of focus?) and poor composition.
In terms of composition, there seems to be no balance within the frame. What is the main focal point - is it that pole, the signage on the left, the frontage of the building of the right? The pole and the overall image feels tilted and the top of the pole dissects the frame and the sky, breaking what flow there was from the left to the right. I just can't find a place for the eye to settle.
I like the black and white with sepia toning to place the buildings in time.
I wonder if other viewpoints would have provided a more aesthetically pleasing image.

A touch dark but wonderful anyway. Nicely composed, the feathers adding just the right touch. Hope we're not depriving a mother bird of her nest and hens for this shot? :o) One of my top 5 for this challenge.

My absolute favourite in this challenge. I have looked at it again and again - there's something about the portrait of the central figure that's just absolutely compelling. Great colour, great interest, great emotion... wonderful.

Great "out of place" theme and strong image - great composition (with the bottle and spoon positioned just so), good strong colours, lots of interest, nice lighting... all round excellent entry.

Beautiful image, with some wonderful texture and form too. Only downside is the soft focus and the harsh lighting - I think with some warm golden afternoon light this could be lifted from good to great.
