I appreciate the foreground included but the partial tree doesn't enhance the image. It throws it off balance a little. 7

Is The Barber In?

This was my favorite in the challenge. Admittedly, I didn't view all the images and didn't get a chance to get back to it, so I gave it a nine on my first pass. I think it sets up a wonderful story and allows me to fill in the blanks. The whole scene is just so interesting and ripe with possibility! The lines here work wonderfully for you. The only rough spot in the photo is that stupid globulous bush, but its shape and color is echoed by the car so it is tempered a little. The eye pretty much ignores it anyway - the colors of the man's shirt, his roses, the barber poles, really pulls the eye back into the action. It's like that song - "Anticipation. It's making me wait." I know something is going to happen so I sit and watch... Love this, thanks for sharing!

I think this works well because of the lighting. You picked a very good time to visit. The lights and darks play well together. 7

My favorite in the challenge. I'm at odds over the value of the yellow at the bottom and yet it provides an interesting color balance for the rest. I think my problem is its blurriness while the rest of the image is clear. At any rate, excellent eye. I am reminded of Van Gogh's "Starry Night," which I love. 10 from me.
