What a great image. My favorite of the challenge so far. There is actually a lot in the picture that has color but with this picture it works very well. My first 10 given in this challenge.

I like the shot overall. Lovely use of leading lines to draw your eye to the center, but the colors that are left are distracting and IMHO not where the eye is meant to be drawn to.

At first glance, this shot is a little busy for me, but as I look at it more, it almost seems like I can peer around the obstacles and look deeper in to the shot. Very interesting lines and great capture of motion. I'm raising my score after looking again to comment. Good luck!

A very striking image. I would normally complain about the centered image - but since you 've placed the person on the left edge, it's not a problem at all! The sky is great and your choices for selective desat are excellent.

This is lovely - I hate it when my top picks end up mid pack. I bet it suffered from poor-voter-monitor-calibration. Dark images often do.

Oh dear ... still, I guess we've got to take the rough with the smooth. Like this shot Jon (and glad you're still submitting - thought you'd deserted us) - has a Beguinicity (to coin a word) about it. Like the sombreness, the tonality, though personally I might have worked to bring in a touch more contrast and brightness - it just begins to put most of its interest into the darker half of the available shades to my eye. Subtleties though, rather than glaring points.

And of course, it scored so low because folks won't bring their own ideas to shots, they want it all from you (and who am I to say that's wrong?)

Excellent attention to detail in this. I see you have colored it perfectly and not missed one person. Great job. I would have exaggerated the colors on a couple of the people I think to make them stick out more, but still good, and great Title.
