Hi from CP2!

This is such a cool shot!!
The colous are great and the perspective is good!!

I would have liked to see more of the girls in focus though.
The guy's chest seems a bit grainy...

I love it:)
Well done on 52nd and a personal best:)

Hi OJ!

I actually scored this an 8 in voting. It's a really cool picture. Maybe the city in the background is a bit overexposed, but we can see everything that you really intended for us to see. Perhaps a bit of a noise issue, but that's really all. The rhythm here is both in the line and in the implied dance, which is a great double entendre for the challenge. :-)

Greetings from CTP2

First Impression:
Postive. I really like this.

Composition:
I wouldn't change anything. I love the depth the image has, which is carried out well with the composition.

Subject:
Interesting. It's one of those images where you look at it and want to look more.

Technical (Colour and light):
Nothing wrong here. The exposure works for me. The color is alive, which was how the event itself must have been like.

Improvement:
None really.

Summary:
Great photo. I like how you kept the grain in this shot.

Like always, it's just my opinion/suggestions. Good luck and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Congratulations on your highest score. This is quite good.
First impression
1. Good rithm
2. Bright and lovely colours
3. Good applying of rule of thirds and leading lines.
4. Contrast and focus good on main subject.
What could be better?
1. The houses are a bit to bright.
2. I would like to see a bit more of the others in focus. Probably not possible.
3. The person to the right looks a bit grainy. Maybe applying of NeatImage would have helped.
4. Try to care for the score - that helps make improvements :-)

From the CTP MkII

First Impression: Seems you where not right... it has worked well. A very nice shot that captures the viewer.
Composition: Great. From right to left, from up and down to the center. It really creates a rhythm.
Subject: curious, very curios indeed. It makes the viewer ask about what are you looking at.
Technical: great focus and use of DOF. The colors are nice. The only flaw is the colour noise.
Improvement: The sky is a bit blowed. IMO it would have worked better without the buildings (I know, they were there, you couldn't help it...LOL). If the first man were looking at the camera this shot would have scored much better. The noise: it happens sometimes to me that set the camera to high levels of ISO and forget to correct them later.
Summary: a really wonderful shot with some small flaws. Good job.

Hi from the CTP2 club:)

I like this image. Its a bit grainy for my liking. The stripes on the shirt in the background are a bit distracting...
Maybe if you left more of the cross in?
The colours are nice, they help with the mood.
