Hmm, you know, your shots somehow make more sense to me after that brief glance at the philosophy behind them. The world is interesting, you drift along, go with strange angles and harmonies of shapes, and end up with shots like these. Great picture - wonderful spontaneous facial expression, quirky leading lines in the background, interesting angle. Shots like these only seem to arise by accident, and only if you're open to them.

I can't say this necessarily fits the challenge too well, but as a photo in its own merit it is very interesting. (I tend to like photos that push the challenge envelope and probably would have given you a 7 if I'd voted this.) You wouldn't be Don Giovanni, LOL, if you didn't make the viewers think for a moment.

Don, I really like the way the sun shows through the umbrella's. This is also a fantastic diagonal shot.

:) That's really nice. Takes you a minute to work out what's happening, and then you go: 'Aah, I see!'.
I can't believe how low this scored actually - the title really works, the composition has a nice harmony to it. and the left umbrella has those nice interesting shapes and sunrays shining through it. Sub-5?! Whatever.

A little hard to make out at first as the RH umbrella is not easily identifiable. My eye travels directly to the sunburst.

In a themed challenge this would have scored a lot higher, I bet. No northern light, big cat or sky for free study - hey. That said - this is an awesome shot. Love the contrasts and the composition - very wonderful.

Regarding candids... I just shoot without shame and so far nobody has protested. The only time I was yelled at was when I took photos of a truck. So try it. Also, if you point your camera at people for a while, they lose interest and start going about their business - et voila! A candid!

I wish the spider was on this side of the screen - we don't get to see all the cool detail - the purples and reds are pretty good but the sharpness could be a lot better
