Great DOF/focus. Great detail and feel. Not sure if you used a platinum type of coloring, but I would like to see a touch more contrast (some more shadowed areas), that would make it pop a bit more. Nice job

Love it. My eyes jump all over this pic because every part of it is interesting and perfect contrast everywhere. 8!

Fun action shot! Interestingly, the yellow takes more focus here than the red or green, but nice saturated colors and I'm sure it was fun to shoot!

I like this because the colours are there so you meet the challenge but the real stars of this shot are those children who are exuding the fun of childhood. I like that they fill the frame but still have somewhere to "go" down the big white slide.

A lot more than 'just a photo of sunglasses & pills' this is very well done.
The white background is very effective and the colours very strong. Maybe too much empty space top & bottom, but a great shot.

Man, this is beautiful.
It's because of pictures like this, that i hate myself at times. During voting had only given it a 7. I spent a lot of time on voting and commenting, and each week there are a couple that i just miss and don't give them the time of day they deserve (that's my biggest qualm of having to vote on 300+ pictures a week on a slow modem).

Crabappl3, i like pictures like these a lot. To me, there's something 'classic' about them; i call them Vittorio de Sica Bicycle Thieves type of pictures (that's an old movie from the 50s and if you have never seen it, recommend watching it if you ever have a chance). My suggestion would be to simplify this further and cropping it out somewhere near the top of the red awning. That would get rid of the clutter of the coca cola sign, and the awkward partial Ques (antiques?). Would also crop off the edge of the building to the right. Then, you end up with a much stronger picture that emphasizes the expressive asphalt. Moreimportantly, it also emphasizes the relationship between the bicyclist, the reader, and the legs of the advertising model. What fascinates me about this picture actually is the NON-relationship between these three: even though they are all operating in the same picture plane and small space, they are all entirely uninvolved with one another. It's a great indictment of the human condition in modern society.
Just want to say that i like your pictures in general a lot. Often, i may not comment on them but they are good scores from me. Also like your range in photographic subjects and moods, ranging from the highly creative to the very sensitive.
