I love this! Just so you know, I'd have been a 9 voter, maybe a 10!

Thanks for all the great comments - hopefully the notes offer some needed context to the image.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Shot through some form of fabric I presume; it works just like an overlay - I really like it. The success of the image lies in its ability to conceal and reveal to just the right amount. Lighting and colour are sublime.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Excellent work.

Positives: This is a very pretty image - I'm really glad that you've had the confidence to trust in its blurry goodness. The slight coloration works really well too.

Critical stuff: I can't think of anything.

Overall: I glad you trusted your instincts here - good convention bucking stuff.

Positives: Nice motion blur image, there are lots of elements to look at and they are all so different, the couple of runners, the bus itself (and its route information), the passengers and (most of all for me), the poster on the side. This is one of those images that reminds us that there is always so much to look at around us if only we were to lift our gaze.

Critical stuff: Perhaps a tighter crop top to bottom, allowing the bus to fill the height of the frame.

Overall: The ordinary made interesting. Good job.
