It's cold at this time of year in my country

Doesn't look like your typical panhandler. Has a jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, blanket, umbrella(I think to the left). And, all of the garments are in good conditions, no holes, clean, etc... I'm not saying she isn't destitute and in need of help, just that she seems unusually tidy for a "street" person. Framing of the subject, eliminating your reflection, choice of B&W tones, are all well done. Good luck.

Nice to see a non-fake image make it into ribbon territory. This was one of my higher votes. I enjoyed the vivid color and the foreground element, while out of focal range, still presented enough detail to add to the story. Well seen and captured.

Beautiful image captured here. I just didn't get the Wabi Sabi connection.

I liked the tension of the items on stage here as they're not perfectly aligned, but close. Makes you want to take your finger and give them a nudge to straighten them out! :-)

One of the very, very few times that I've thought a texture overlay added to an image. This was very well done. Simple subject matter with an end result that is very pleasing.

Normally I'm not a fan of some of the over-the-top filters, etc... although I've played with some once in a while. Yet this was one of my top picks in the challenge, gave it a 9. The end result of your work is pretty cool - could make a fun print! Well done.

I was surprised to see this didn't break the Top 10. Your entry was one of my top picks (gave it an 8). I found this to be truly a "Portrait" quality image that is full of energy and certainly worthy of framing in your home (which I hope someone does!). Well done.

I think you meant to shoot this for the 'Insane' challenge!

Well, your amusement amused me! This shot, IMO, is severely underrated. I don't think in a FS that it would be strong enough to break Top 10, but certainly Top 20. Now ... had you saved something like this for the "Art" type year-end challenge that happens usually, this could easily be a top contender. FWIW - I enjoyed it. :-)
