Beautiful image. I love the fantastic detail in the walls and floor. The lighting seems perfect and quite even; did you use HDR to achieve this? Very nice.

That guy in red has a lot of nerve entering that blue territory. The blue "gang" looks rather off-putting.

I really like the shot. The colors are great, the focus, light, and composition are excellent. There is interest in the subject matter. I don't know why it didn't score higher, maybe because it is too colorful for the average voters concept of street photography. I gave it a 7.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, for a shot scoring a 5.5, you have a lot of comments already, which is unique. I like the story that you can tell with this shot and the questions that the shot brings up. Who are the blue guys? Are they talking about the red guy? And the fact that the red guy is in motion towards them is great. The colors are vibrant, but not overdone. I like how the gold frame, the tree branches and the grating all sort of serve as a natural frame to contain the scene.

The first thing that jumped out at me was those 2 lights.. the b/w one and the color one. Editing error or the way the scene really looked? Looking at that made me start examining the edges of the rest of the photo to see if I could figure out how you tweaked the color, which is when I noticed the dark, sharpened edges around the men in blue. My guess is a bit too much sharpening since you said that the shot wasn't as sharp as you would have liked. And, as others mentioned, the lower corner is a bit sloppy.

Overall, a nice shot that I think suffered from a few technical issues. Hope you found this critique helpful!

This is an interesting shot. Keep this in mind for the next "perspective" challenge.

This is cool. I have no idea what the acronym is but the photo is interesting to look at. The detail in the ceiling is great, crisp and well focused. Are those PC monitors on a conference table in some secure room/facility? Looks high-tech whatever it is. Good luck in the challenge.
