A bit too soft for my liking, I can't focus on anything because my eyes feel strange. Maybe I just have strange eyes! A lovely pose and great mood though.

Nice candid moment. Like the soft focus and the tonality.

FWIW, I gave this shot an 8 ... I liked the interaction between the subjects ... I wanted to be sitting with them, listening to the conversation ... I wanted to have a cocktail with them (I commented something like that during voting) ... personally, I really liked the filter application, it gave the shot a 'painting' quality ...

I would have loved to see this in B/W ... my only nitpick is that the chair and fleece cover up a bit of the real action ...

The technicals: Well done. The lighting works and I like the motion blur of her hand. Colors are subtle (see the game).

The feel: Here's my take on Street Photography (opinion only): Street photography should do one of a few things: 1) capture the human condition either through an interesting scene or through the facial expressions captured in an everyday occurance. 2) capture nostalgia 3) capture an interesting geometric pattern (meaning the photo has abstract qualitites) which rises above the photo as a whole. Your shot is at attempt at 1. It does a good job of capturing faces in a size and lighting that allows us to explore them.

The game: Two things. 1) B&W ruled supreme in this challenge. I think choosing color meant an uphill battle. 2) Applying such a bold filter effect is pretty gutsy on DPC. People love to hate that stuff. I sorta like it here, but I can also see how it detracts. I bet you would have scored higher (if you are interested in score) with a B&W application and no art filter.

I think I prefer your 'Disputed Territory 1' for conveying the message, but if you wanted to carry the series on, perhaps for DT3 you could have an example of a tree or plant growing out of a wall. For me that's where the dispute really happens, when nature fights back.

The focus looks soft and the face looks over processed.

I'd agree about the texture. I think it's the sort of thing that can add an interesting effect for a piece on the wall, but it doesn't translate well to the web. Like the expressions on their faces.
