very well setup IMO. Wish the lighting was just a tad lower key and cooler in temperature just to be a touch more realistic. Excellent , 8

Back to comment: A cute shot that is well done but a major shoehorn for this challenge IMHO.

I was wondering who's topaz shot this would be. Love it! The processing has some kind of classic feel to it - very cool.

Great street shot. Not wild about the processing though. (Topaz?)

It was to be a simply family dinner, two generations separated by one, meeting for a lovely brunch on that clear and pleasant morning.

However, just as they were about to arrive at the restaurant, they heard it. The screeching of tires, the explosions, the screams. As one they turned towards the sounds and their faces transformed.

He set himself, and a look of concern and fortitude passed his eyes, and he knew he would have one last act of heroism to perform.

She looked on in pain and horror, but soon realized that her retirement would have to end, for one last act.

And the little one? She just scrunched an eye and glared, for she knew that her grandparents would follow her into this battle one last time, and she could do nothing to stop it, and it was time to act.

So as one, the three of them stepped into the street, and as they did their clothes morphed into colorful costumes and energy crackled around them, and with a shout of solidarity they entered into the fray.

Dropping out of the neutral third person mode for a moment, I have to quit speed voting, then returning to review for comments as I always end up changing my vote. :>) This is a great image - fun and whimsical, crisp and sharp, it is a very different entry into the challenge. Superlatives would not do this image justice. All things being equal, this should place very high in the challenge just for being so unique. Originally rated a 7, it's been rerated a 10 for it's technical and artistic excellance. Well done and good luck.
