Airy, Open-Plan Gourmet Kitchen

Comment:
I might be mistaken, but I seem to recall having been to this kitchen and if I am right it is indeed a "Gourmet" kitchen, replete with herbs growing in an area adjacent to the side of the building.

Very nicely done.

I look at this image and am reminded of a classical painting. Unfortunately, for the life of me I cannot remember what it is called. Very nicely done... you have managed to capture an image that could readily pass for a painting.

Very nicely done. Definitely my favorite to date. A 9 for now.

Definitely the most compelling of images I have seen to date. I have no idea where or when you took this photo, but even if it staged this person has managed to display the raw emotions normally associated with fear and submission.

Very nicely done... I do hope the voters will deem this worthy of the front page.

A 9 from me.

I really like this photo and do hope you do well in the challenge. On a personal note, assuming that the photo had more image content on the left, I would have included all the the child's shadow, more of the bridge and would have cropped out the gentleman and his bike entirely.

But that's just a personal preference.

Very nicely done... 8

1000 kids a day... going nuts!

I normally don't care much for images that are blurry, but in this case, I think motion blur might have actually made the image better in that it would have given the impression of a very hectic day with kids.

Best of luck in the challenge.

Mere speculation on my part, but I would guess Norway. Nice shot.

Oh my... now this I like. Great colours, DOF and having a winter image where the snow is not grey is in itself quite something. I do hope the beauty of this image is not lost on the city folks. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Oh my...how good is that. I would be simply amazed if this was taken in the city and will check later. You did really well capturing this as these critters are quite aloof and normally scatter in the presence of humans.

Well done... and good luck in the challenge.
