What beautiful artwork on the sidewalk. Ah, to be so talented.

I like the composition of this shot but for my taste, too much was left in color. Maybe if you had just left the artwork in color and desaturated everything else it would make a bigger impact to me. The oils being colorless yet so much color, but from where? See what I'm talking about? Just a thought. This is a lovely shot and I hope you got the artists name so you could offer them a print of it. As is a 6

this is a very clever use of desat - though i wonder why you elected to to keep her hair with the red highlights and the slightly blue pastelly shirt coloured. i think it might have conveyed more of an impact if all but the artwork was B&W. i love the idea though, and technically the shot passes muster too - focus and composition is top dog! though, being unfairly picky, the patch of white in the extreme lower left corner is a bit distracting. that aside, well done. 8.

What an original idea. I love it! Great colors and I love that you kept some of the chalk in the boxes color, very nice detail as well as the red in her hair. Nice take on the challenge.

Fantastic use of color. I really like that you desaturated multiple items and kept the photo interesting. Bravo.
