Wonderful frozen moment. Good use of the frame and the spectators add a lot of flavor.I also like the gently curve of the track.

While I am not a selective coloring type of person it works well here do to the context of the scene as well as the title. I love the scene depicted. The tones are terrific, though I haven't decided if I like the filter. Curious what it would look like without the filter. A terrific shot for FreeStudy.

Okay, it took me a few minutes but I get it, lol. Great idea but for a challenge I feel it requires too much thought and time from the viewer to place really well, just my thoughts...Incredibly creative idea!! Way to go!!

Wonderful story, and great shot, nicely conceived and composed. One possible suggestion: I like to see some adjustments to the colors in selective desats; either going a bit brighter through selecting the colored bits and playing with levels/curves on a new layer, or by muting them in the same way. Hope the planting went well (want to come to my house when you're done? I hate planting, and it shows in my poor garden)!
