Great!!!!!

Lovely tones and textures here -- the stone pavement,the weathered wood, the deteriorating windows... and then the figure of the woman. Is she a suppliant or raging at her fate or maybe just wondering why the bus is late...

Not at all. You brought up the bodily function. 8) She looks like she's stretching after a good night's sleep. 8)

She wanted that part memorialized in pictures???? How times have changed. 8)

May I respectfully fall into the "ick" camp? I love her pose, her dress, and the way the veil is blowing, but it looks like she's walking through mud, and it's getting all over that lovely dress. The border is intriguing, but it looks kind of mildewy (is there such a word??). I guess I just don't go for grungy brides. 8)

I love the guy jumping with his mallet -- that old grinder with the plastic tub beside it -- the tourists and the trash bit. Lots to look at here. Great shot.

Like the action blur and the dash of red.

I love this picture, but the grain is so obtrusive that it looks like ashes are falling on the scene. I'd really like to see the same picture with the grain set at about 50% of whatever you were using. 8(

Nice light on white shot, but the grain just dirties up the background.

Nice try, but too many blown highlights. I can't see that the grain/noise adds much to this one.

Good composition, but IMHO the grain detracts.
