I don't personally care for the red text with this shot, I think maybe white would have worked better, or maybe smaller text.

good colours - don't like background in top right

the subject of this shot is clearly the flowers, so in that respect I don't feel like this fits the challenge very well, but that's just my opinion. You still have scissors in the shot which technically makes it fit I guess. I think this would be a decent shot more closely cropped and without the scissors (which would make it unsuitable for the challenge...I'm just talking in general) as is though a 6

Nice candid shot, which we all know, is very hard to shoot perfectly. To improve the shot it would have been nice if the boy on the left was turned slightly towards the camera as I find him a distracting element rather then a part of the image as is. The alternative which I think I would have gone for, is to crop him completely out and focus on the seller. Of course then you’d have to change the title.

colours are superb, but I find the sillhouette a little boring

I think you've nailed it! Beautiful composition. All the elements are there but except for the scissors (which look natural in the setting) the other elements just seem to blend in subtly. At first I felt your background should have been solid black but after a while I started to like your out of focus blurred effect. Gives it depth. What is that back there anyway? Are you at the shore? Love the picture. Good Luck. 10.

Nice shot! It almost looks like its right out of a movie. Hope you do well. Very good candid shot overall.

Composure - check

exposure - check

general interest - check

distracting background elements - a few but wer'll let them slide.
