I don't mind the soft focus, but don't like the crop. Just seems like too much arm and not enough head.
Good luck.

Hello there Pep Ventosa ?San Francisco/USA & Barcelona/Spain? You live in two places? Now that is kool...I'm guessing you travel for business or your just rich-rich! <:) Either way: I envy your travels.
Fits The Challenge- Yes, I see a four
Composition- Nice street scene
Background- busy foot traffic, but not distracting.
My Opinion- I may be way off base here...but if this is a real guy...we have one or two in downtown Portland, Oregon. Are these guys clones? lol Ours is usually painted blue like the one above is white. Fun shot, and good humor. They can really hold still and do look look like a statue. I like this shot and not only find it funny, it's good focus, and colors. Good shooting and extra points for being so clever. Great find.

Katherine's bridge

Hello and welcome Robster......your first challenge!

Fits The Challenge- Sure if the photographer thinks so and calls this Katherine's bridge then that is what it is. Time will tell as we see more photos from this artist.
Composition- I like it.
Background- I like the natural setting for this nature shot.
My Opinion- I like the soft focus/noise. Giving the benefit of doubt, it's intended here. You know nudes don't have to be so _in_ your face 100% of the time. This all works, the colors, the girl....all soft and muted. Nice job.

Water Under the Bridge

Hi ClubJuggle

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition- See below
Background- Busy
My Opinion- I'm not too sure about this shot and during the challenge rated it a 7 for the same reason. Let me try to explain: I like it, it does look like a painting and technically I think it's good. The trouble area is the white to right-makes my eye fly there. Then I have trouble finding my bearings..it's a busy shot. I think if the horizon/sky/or bank had been visable it would of helped this shot. Just MHO.

Unfinished Bridge-ness

Hey DougPaz
Fits The Challenge-YES
Composition-patterns and shadows
Background-Lovely blue
My Opinion-This is a good photo of a bridge in progress. The sky, light and patterns of shadows are really interesting to look at. Beautiful to my eye. I think the crane adds to the over all shot, but the crop is too tight at the top. Other then that little nit pick......it's a good photo and was under rated.

Hello Geocide
Fits The Challenge- Yes, and with humor
Composition- Simple
Background- Good
My Opinion- Simple solution to the challenge. I think it works well. I guess it may of been more interesting if you'd of shot off center, or added something to the background. Still I kind of like it.
