Best of the shopping car entries, the alignment is what really does it for me, the arc of wheels. I'm torn on what I think would be the best for DoF, but this works well as is.

You've used perspective very effectively to dictate size and importance here, leaving an image that has multiple levels consisting of the same object, but which have a very different feel to each of them.

What I like most about this is that you've managed to reduce the wheel in prominence physically but maintain it conceptually and visually. I very much like the composition, the wheel and the pseudo wheel, and having the girl in the frame really sets this one apart, particularly her reserved pose. One of my favorites.

big wheels, small wheels...

Nice juxtaposition, and a slightly different way of looking at two very popular subjects for the challenge.

An excellent example of how to not capture the exact same bicycle shot over and over again. Not only do the overlapping rims work wonderfully in and of themselves, but the silhouetted riders just take this to the next level. Surely one of the best of the challenge.

Awesome shot. By far my favorite for the challenge. The colors, the placement of the various rectangles and their repetition, all combine into a wonderfully off balance shot that is very successful.

Unfortunate that this wasn't more widely accepted, it's a great photo. I particularly like the eye of the goose, which is sorta lurking in the murky details.

ISO? Aperture?? I thought I just had to click a button or something.

I saw you post this in a thread and figured I'd give you a comment due to your own comments.
I didn't vote here, but if I did, I probably would have voted this somewhat lower, as well. As a general photograph, it is executed well, with a possible exception being the degree to which your bag is obscured. It's like a blackhole. However, if it weren't dark, the photo would look busy. This brings me to the main reason I would vote the way I would- This shot is, by its very nature, extremely unchaotic. It's quite obviously posed with a large number of props in a very controlled environment. Admittedly, there are other shots with various numbers of these elements to them, but you're not moving or doing anything in the shot. It's static. An example of how you could keep your theme and add something more dynamic and chaotic to things would be to make it appear as though you were dropping something. I also think the fact that you're looking directly at the camera really adds to this static feeling- it's a testament to the viewer that things are contrived, that you are aware of them as a subject, and that the viewer is not in fact glimpsing something in action.

Anyway, my point wasn't to be harsh or anything, more just that I can relate to the feeling of "what the hell?" after voting ends, and frustration without an end is simply aimless. ;)
