I have to skip the vote on this one, as I know it's a Melethia entry and that would influence my vote. I do like these street shots in Germany, however. The cobblestones have a great pattern, especially in this kind of light.

Added: Ok, it wasn't Germany, but I knew it was yours. Placed towards the high end, too. Congrats!

There you go again - Deb, the street, LB and urban acid - a winning combination.

Beautiful photo, but I will have to abstain from voting due to certain forbidden knowledge on my part.

Watching children is a treat, watching them enjoy music is even moreso.

Oooh, I really enjoy this! You tell an intriguing, amgibuous story with this image. Is the girl happy? Are they walking away from something. Great capture!

Again, I recognized this as a 'Melethia' from the thumbnail. I have studied and used your Basic Acid tutorial. Very nice shot and processing. I like the way the focus on the pavers leads the eye into the scene. Odd that it doesn't draw the eye to the negative space. It does give enough focus to the image to let the viewer know that the blur is intentional.

I love the tone, for me it adds to the overall sense of coldness and isolation one can experience in a city even when surrounded by too many people...I feel like I am alone in a city I don't know and keeping my head down when I walk, focusing on the road and doing my best to ignore the crowds... I love it!
