Creative thinking. Maybe you could have painted the thumb green, to keep in with the gardening theme ;-Þ (I hope you understand the reference - I don't know if you have a similar expression in Italian.)

Greta photo, and a deserving blue. The only minor flaw, which obviously you couldn't do anything about, is the woman at the far right whose face is mostly obscured by the wall. Congratulations.

I see I was not the only one who found this shot to be best of the lot. An absolutely well deserved Blue ribbon. Here was my comment and I see many others saw the same qualities in your entry as I did.
"Wonderful shot. I see it's taken in Italy somewhere. It reminds me of a modern day version of the scenes one often sees depicted in the wall murals and paintings of Classical Rome. Images of lavish feasts with plenty of wine flowing and trays groaning under the weight of all the food. And somewhere in those images there's always the figure of some pauper or poor man to show the contrasts and contradictions of life. This is what this image evokes in me.
From a technical point of view I find the lighting and tones superb.
So many different things happening in this scene. All the elements are in the right place. The guy sitting outside of the luxury zone counting his pennies perhaps wishing that he could join the extravagant people on the terrace for a drink or something to eat. That white dog being patted also adds something special to the composition and is also a recurring image in the classical wall murals and paintings right down to it's particular pose.
Well done, lovely composition. A winner for me and I say that even though I have an entry in this challenge as well.
I give you full score 10. This is the only 10 I gave in this challenge by the way"
