I think this is a very nice geometric abstract - that and the color of the light really makes this shot work.

I think it was a good choice to expose for the b/g as I agree with what others have posted that the woman really makes this shot interesting... the guy in the foreground seems to be setting up to make his lunch.

I like the crispness and high contrast in this shot.. as other's have mentioned, your crop really brings the focus onto the children and the adults who are not paying attention, made all the more ominous indeed by the sign.. really holds my interest.

The smiling guy in the poster is looking at the woman who is also smiling.. like there is a joke that i am not getting and that makes me curious.. what the hell is going on? let me in on it ok! In case there is any doubt this is a positive critique :)

What comes to mind as I view this shot is the strength of the composition - the tonal quality and the DOF - this could be a text book example of what to do right. The picture to me tells this story - a couple of old friends talking about times gone by - but you know what - to me the central subject is the fountain, even though it is OOF, it is beautiful. Great job. Next time come up with a title will ya? Grin.

edited to fix typo - thank you tnun :)

A great reference to the painting - it fits - the guy looks to be praying to the altar of his God - the colors are phenomenal - the glow on the chairs, the lettering in the sign, the texture in his coat, it looks like a painting.. If this was a challenge I can't believe you wouldn't end up in the top three.

The poor guy is going to have one heck of a rash from a dry shave - what a great shot to come up on .. like the surroundings too - it all fits.

The colors in your photos pop out and the shadows are real points of interest.. I like that the arrow is going in the opposite direction of the bike... is it a one way street? (LOL) - one thing that I did notice that you might want to work on is the post processing is noticable around the wheels of the bike and the lower frame.. kind of a halo - but a real nice shot.

This shot is what street candids are all about in my personal opinion ... gritty, real - yep, the guy is removing an irritant just sitting on his perch ... like the angle - I am going to try shooting from the hip.
