Very well done. The women in the background tells the story. This is the best I have seen so far. Fits the challenge very well.

Just a slight amount of blur in this, which is a shame because there is alot of detail there that could really jump out. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Comment by Imagineer:
This is quite poorly exposed, focused and lacks an interesting subject. Sorry to sound so negative (and I may not be the first) but there is honestly not much to keep this from a 1, although you have kept the camera straightish!

Next time you could try panning the camera to capture a subject crisp while all else is moving (the bloke looking at the camera here perhaps). If you use a wide angle lens for this, and are quite close, even subjects on the same moving object will appear blurred apart from a narrow focal point where you track with the camera.

Otherwise just try to look for a quirk in a scene ΓΆ€“ particularly using backgrounds for juxtaposition or other subjects to show contrast of lifestyle, etc.

The perspective helps to tell the story, but this is almost two separate pictures.

Nice detail on the bird, though the whites look a bit blown out on my monitor,
