Very very nice. I was playing with camera movement yesterday myself and would have been thrilled to get this. I love the way the petals seem to be spilling out and over and down like so many gold coins being poured from a pot.

The strong tonal contrasts work wonderfully well to bring attention to the details of her attire. My favorite things are her facial expression and the position of her upraised hand. I find myself trying to hold my hand that way and imagine what I might be thinking or saying . . . I can't. I also really like her position in the frame and the very dark background.

Andi noticed the optician shop, I noticed the motorbikes and what look to be car wheels on the 2nd level of the buildings behind her and they way they seem to continue the street scene.

I prefer the closer perspective but there's something to be said about this one. Here she appears to be heading for a collision with this wall of motorbikes and that adds a certain tension to the situation. I know we're doing square . . . but I really don't need the top half - or even more (this could almost be a pano).

I like this a lot, Marion, including your selective use of the filter. I often do something similar to tame an unruly background and put a stamp on my subject, so to speak.

Great title. And she has to pass by him to get to the crosswalk . . . As others have noted, there's a story here for sure, whether yours as suggested or a completely different one.

Well handled and positioned sun - I very much enjoy what it contributes to the geometry and balance of this one.

This is to sight what petting collies and shelties is to touch. Lovely. I think I prefer the first one, but this is very nice, too.

Oh what a great walk and day! I love the way the richest gold is right where the path bends - you can bet I'd be continuing down the path and around the curve.

What a great place - I would love the explore it meter by meter - maybe even centimeter by centimeter. This nicely balanced overview really promises a lot.
