Comment by Tammer:
For me, this is a nice enough snapshot of a city street, but compared with other entries the subject matter doesn't hold my interest. There is grain, but again for me, I find that sepia or black and white photos with grain have greater impact. I wonder how this would look in black and white and a bit of added contrast?

Perhaps this image could be improved by having a more definite focal point. The tree frames and the diagonals lead... but nowhere really.

Comment by Jutilda:
This just doesn't have any visual appeal. Just a bunch of buttons piled on a blanket or something. For this to be artful, it needs something to make the viewer want to spend more time. Maybe a single pale pink button on a solid flat, untextured background with perhaps a need threaded with pale pink thread (or blue, or whatever) leading up to it, with lots of negative space.... Just a thought.

Hmmm. Nice enough shot but lacks a strong subject and not clear to me why the grain is relevant here.

Unfortunatly the lights(?) on the tree are a real distraction to an otherwise very good image.

Lovely colors. I like the little twinkly lights around the tree. The leading line is effective and the tree makes a nice natural frame.
