The Stare of Curiosity

Comment:
Great capture that stirs the emotions. I would have preferred the entire shot in black and white though. It's almost as if you are trying to force the viewer to see the relevance of the title by having the man and the child in color and I find it detracts from the overall impact of this otherwise fantastic composition.
I gave a 7 but had it been in black and white only would have given a 8

You Don't Know Me

This is quite special. I like the way you caught her, shooting from behind the glass and how unaware she is of the moment being captured. The graininess and the rivulets of water running down the window pane add to the overall impact. I get the idea it's just started raining and she was caught unprepared without an umbrella and not dressed for the rain.

White Dog + Punks On Dope

Exquisite moment you captured here. The 2 doped up punks laughing at the dog and the dog seemingly laughing at the absurdity of it all. I really like this shot.
I give this a 9

For many people, but not for everyone...

Wonderful shot. I see it's taken in Italy somewhere. It reminds me of a modern day version of the scenes one often sees depicted in the wall murals and paintings of Classical Rome. Images of lavish feasts with plenty of wine flowing and trays groaning under the weight of all the food. And somewhere in those images there's always the figure of some pauper or poor man to show the contrasts and contradictions of life. This is what this image evokes in me.
From a technical point of view I find the lighting and tones superb.
So many different things happening in this scene. All the elements are in the right place. The guy sitting outside of the luxury zone counting his pennies perhaps wishing that he could join the extravagant people on the terrace for a drink or something to eat. That white dog being patted also adds something special to the composition and is also a recurring image in the classical wall murals and paintings right down to it's particular pose.
Well done, lovely composition. A winner for me and I say that even though I have an entry in this challenge as well.
I give you full score 10. This is the only 10 I gave in this challenge by the way.
