Thats what I wanted

The processing, particularly the halos from sharpening, are a problem here, and the image simply isn't spectacular enough to overcome that.

Ah now, a proper photograph; love the juxtaposition here, and your control of this exposure is excellent; I'm a fan of the results of public printed images and the 'real' anyhow. Super work.

Strong stuff, and I like it.

Strong detail, and excellent post work. It perhaps lacks a sense of a real dynamic? Something, at any rate, that doesn't put it quite into the top echelon of things.

Quite fun - good processing. Perhaps the realtionships of these figures are a touch ordinary for this crop?

I like this - it's certainly better than most in this set. Not convinced you've really dealt with the processing so well - I think more could have been brought out of it perhaps, especially in the darker areas toward the back, where there seems to be some real interest

This is fun - I like that you've got so close, gives some impact. It would have been nice not to have lost the highlights, particularly on mother's face - see where you can't see the arm of her glasses? It's often helpful to under-expose as a default setting to avoid those things.

Without white-trouser man, you'd have someone almost replicating the shape and location of the figure on his sign: surely an opportunity missed? I'm unsure of your cropping - the two figures are a touch too centrally placed to my eye, and I don't get enough impact from the architecture to warrant that, I think. Besides all of which, still streets ahead of most shots in this challenge.

Almost worth shooting, so to speak.

Nice work - especially in the processing. There is some sense of character, which makes a change from photographs of street people as a shortcut (and easy-cut) to 'gritty reality' for the masses.
