I probably won't be giving you too much more insight beyond what was already said here. I gave this a 6 during the challenge. I loved how the bushes and the building had close to a very faint painterly effect. And the sky is beautiful! I think I would have scored it higher if the building had more pop or contrast to make it jump out of the picture.

This is what I get for not coming and making a comment right away :p

1) I agree, this has curves.
2) I don't think it's over contrasty at all. The light curves pop out really well against the darker walkways.
3) I think the sharpening is fine. If any more was done, there would be a strange edge around the people.
4) Can't comment on the intent thing, that's a personal issue lol.
5) The wow factor: I will say that this is more of a pleasant kind of photo rather than a jump out and immediately grab your attention. But you specialize in that because your photos always have hidden gems in them that kind of all blend together. For me, I'm kind of fascinated by all the dash marks in the walk way. What was the purpose of those? Just curious...

I'm glad that you scored above your expectations!

And now you know, I did finish reading lol. It just took me a while to do it :D

I gave this a 6. I thought you did a good job of capturing a raw moment. I didn't give it a higher score because I thought the contrast was a little too heavy in front and the eyes and mouth were too dark. I'd want to be able to at least see more of the snarl.

Oh I liked this one. I saw this during the challenge and I just kept thinking about how nice it would be to stake yer claim on the beach and watch that beautiful blue water and watch the sky do it's thing. Got to fave this because of the happy emotions it evokes.
