Love the textures in this one -- I thought it would finish higher. I agree with Johanna's observation.

Great shot, Oz. Love the contrasting body language of the woman and preacher as well as the light along her arm.

I generally love black & white as a medium, but I think I am leaning toward the color on this one. That said, I am conflicted a bit on the hue. Her arm has taken on the maroon tones of the chairs. Perhaps that is a conscious processing choice. If not, I might experiment with warming the colors up a tad. Then again, what do I know?

Nicely composed. The eye travels on a nice journey directly to the pedestrian.
