Beautiful, classy, simple, elegant. Great composition and use of leading lines. Wonderful soft-focus. I like the use of sillhouette. Black and white works nicely here. My favourite this challenge. 10

Just fabulous. Do you know a photo by Andre Kertesz called The Balcony, Martinique? It uses the same construction, though in a more abstract manner than this (but then if this were THAT good, you'd BE Andrre Kertesz, wouldn't you?). Great composition, textures, shapes. The ultimate leading line, perhaps.

Beautiful black and white. The only flaw is that the horizon is not level. Looks to be 2-3 dgrees off.

Wonderful contemporary, almost -urbane- feel due to this gloriously simple capture and, certainly, Italian in manner and composition. :-)

The position of the two strollers under the umbrella is boldly unconventional but sensible in terms of the given tonal balance. One of the most exciting photos I've seen for a while.

This is a perfect photo. I love the lines. I love the angle. I love the scale. I love the placement of the subjects. On the merrit of those things this is a 10. I think for the challenge I would like to have seen a solitary person with the umbrella. ( However I dont feel this photo was staged and I know we have to snap what we can when the opportunity presents itself ). Two people can be alone in the world, cant they? Great capture. 9
