Nice lighting. The section of chair behind the male subject is distracting.

Fill flash would have improved your image.

So it was you !! how cold was it that morning? Maybe you Icelanders are so used to the cold that 20F feels like a beach day. Grat picture, as always.

I think this is great shot. I bet it would have scored very well in a "blurry" challenge and I suspect the reason it did not score well here is because it does not conform to the stereotypic "street photo". There is lot of things to look at in this photo; elements, colors, shapes, action, etc. The plant in the foreground is great. This is not tongue in cheek at all.

It it wasn't because it is winter time in Iceland I would bet this is a LARUS (with his famous 1.2 lens), unless it really is Larus forcing her to pretend she is not freezing. Great picture. I am not voting because I am in the race. I'd give it a 9 if I was voting (10 for her expression if I knew it is ice and snow in the background instead of ocean and waves). Of course, it is possible Larus could be vacationing somewhere in the southern hemisphere. We'll see.

I must have dropped it about here...

I think this is great photo and I hope it does well. I like everything about it, lines, perspective, depth, composition, colors, mood, light, dof, etc. . I'd give it a 9 if I was voting, I hope the voters will see it the same way I do. Good luck piba.

LOL !!!! good for you ! Now, if the glass was a cut-out of a photo it would have really made the point. I have no doubt in my mind the dq was unfair and against overwhelming precedent. I hope this time they refrain from charging you with "purposely shooting a picture that will provoke sympathy voting" or something like that. You must be getting millions of comments, I am still roflmao.

I like this picture but it is not a portrait, so, I'll take one point out from 8
