Not a big fan of the border.

I just hope you won't be DQ for the border. I think, but I'm not sure - and I do hope I'm wrong - that this is a you-may-not in basic editing.
However, I'll pretend I didn't see the border. The sepia works well in this photograph. Maybe a bit lighter/less hard? I would have to see both versions next to each other then. Overall: nice photograph of what seems a cosy main street.

I like the tones, but the border is a bit too much, 6.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First off, very pleasant shot. The b/w treatment is interesting but works well.

Excellent choice of really fast shutter speed as opposed to bumping up the ISO. All too often the ISO will be jacked up and the shutter speed slowed down, resulting in a shot both grainy and blurry.

Composition very well done, you caught that moment of your daughter blowing the bubble and the bubble slowly filling with air, beautifully. Glad that you didn't show much of her face; leaves a sense of mystery as to what she looks like...I feel some people rely too much on kids' intrinsic cuteness. Great leading lines with the bubble-mixture wand, brings everything to the fore.

Overall a very respectable finish, and I sense lots of promise here. Keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Nice old postcard feel to this. I think the border is distracting rather than enhancing. I like the dark sepia tone.

Neat old time feel but the shot doesn't provide any interest to capitalise on the processing
