John... Cold & Trying To Get By

Great shot. Like the low point of view. Like how you framed him and included the sidewalk and surrounding environment to give the image context; good DOF. Even without the title, the image has a compelling story behind it. One of a few 10's from me. I think this should ribbon.

I find this photo very compelling in that I want to know what his story is about. The guy is interesting in that he seems very happy, but I wonder what the story is behind the tattooed words on his chest up to his neck. The lower POV view is great/different. The person framed by the two horses adds to his "story." Great choice to go B&W. One of my few 10's and one of my favorites in this challenge. Hoping for this to ribbon. Please give us the story behind him in your notes.

I saw the new "Signature Style Chalenge" for this week, and this pic has the "Rompy" style. Great candid.

I though this was a great candid with a great capture of his expression in the reflection. An 8 from me.

Incredible symmetry, lines, and curves. Good DOF. I'm thinking you bumped up the saturation which I like, the colors really pop in this. I hope this does well for you.

Creative image. I like the focus on the sphere and the nice DOF for the background blur. This image draws me in where I'm looking at the sphere and comparing it to the background to figure out the the buildings and shapes. Very cool.

I like the intentional soft focus/OOF of the entire picture. Yet it has enough definition to "figure out" the scene. If you've been on DPC for a while, this might not go over too well with the masses; I think voters will either love it or hate it. Great risky entry, it's one of those very under rated images. Good luck on the voting.

I like these shots where the reflection is the subject.

Again, you have a great eye for spotting colors in your composition that draws the viewer into the picture.
