Candid Male? Candid Female? You decide..

Good job on the processing here, the colors look very natural. The background is a bit busy and a tighter composition might have been had, but as a slice-of-life shot it's interesting to see the other goings-on in the background and foreground, especially the guy with the beer bottle.

Excellent street scene. I love all the elements and the 'characters' in it, how they are all doing their own thing and the whole thing just tells a story but I'm not sure what it is yet. Very interesting.

Cute subject and a good moment, and I like the composition. Not sure about the selective coloring, or maybe that's just the toning but the sky has more saturation in it and I don't think that adds anything to the photo.

That looks like so much fun! I like the joy you've captured here. If I were to nitpick, I might like a little less of the grass in the foreground and a little more of the kite string.

A nicely captured and composed moment, and as a father I'm glad to see he's got a good hold on his son's hand.

I think recomposing to have him more in front of the simple cabinet in the back and using a smaller aperture to bring more of the scene into focus would have helped. Also, while I like the selective coloring bringing only the green parts of the photo into color, there are some green parts in the background and I would have preferred to have them desaturated as well, with only the tree he's pruning and the leaves on the table being in color.

I don't get the title, and I'm not crazy about the visual aspects of the photo either. Interesting framing with the hedge, but it just ends up too busy in this case and there seems to be some motion blur as well.

LOL!
What a nicely captured moment, I wonder what the goose was thinking. "Yeah, I've been hitting the gym working on those glutes, let me flex 'em for ya"
