Another delightful and colorful shot from you, Shez. I love GeneralE's suggestion, you should try it!

Six seconds on the Strand, Westminster (London)

Focus on those 33 7+ votes you got - the dpc masses would have shouted louder if you *hadn't* indicated the six connection in your title, they just don't know it. From what I know of these types of long exposures, you appear to have done an excellent job from a technical standpoint. The traffic blur takes us across the frame quite nicely.

Who said centered-subject compositions are boring! Love this, and great for the challenge.

Nice defining highlights on the metal rings of that bowl. Such a simple shot, even simple lighting, but it's perfect. Congratulations on 6th place!

Written in stone.

Nice catch, Alan. It's funny but the 6 is even more pronounced and noticeable when viewed as a thumbnail.

Looks like a colored pencil sketch, and...I can see this as an illustration in a children's book. I quite enjoy it.

Such a nice variety of position in all these leaves; compared to the b&w version, I'm not sure I'm finding the loss of contrast an improvement. While I like the use of this texture (but agree with joynim about the border), I'm wondering if the overall yellowing look it gives the shot is a tad too strong.
