Adding a little more contrast might help this image 'pop' a little more...and either more color, or black and white or something might make it more interesting as well. Just a thought. I like the expression you caught!

Woah! I really like how the reflection has more of the reality than the real part does. Nice choice of processing for this - suits it well!

I thought this might have been a shipwreck. Excellent work on this, love the tones. Looks like a really cool location, lucky duck.

Neat feeling that the building is imploding. Good capture.

I've heard that "street" shots don't do well in Free Studies but I liked this shot so here goes...

Well, now you know (!). Truly a 5.1 isn't bad for a street shot in a FS. The players and spectators are clearly engaged, but it lacks a real "wow" factor necessary for a high score. I gave it a six.

The background is fine. It needs that context. People who are distracted by distant signs or a few blown highlights have completely missed the point. I don't mind a few imperfections in a street shot as long as the message is strong and it's an honest capture.

Keep at it.

Yes... it reminds me of an old Greek structure, perhaps crashing to pieces in the water around it. Very intriguing.
