Wow, this is like those optical illusions of 2 faces in one. The shadow is a more profile portrait.
Living inside and outside of Aristotle's allegory of Caves.

Looking cross eyed may be another experiment.

At first I did not see human interaction, I understood it meaning plurality of people.

This has implied human interaction has seller interacting with products or staring a potential buyer.
that one was more unique. Excellent colorful photo.

I always experiment with low angle shots looking up from closeup of products.
Even 7.5mm Rokinon fisheye is excellent used close-up. I even did fisheye videos.
Maybe her gesturing an arm towards her products to make it ore market like.

Definitely Colorful and chaotic look in her face like she saw a worm on top of the bread.
Human interaction with bread / wares. Between buyer/seller even better. This fits all the criteria

With that thought, I guess 1st placer has seller interacting with products or staring a potential buyer.
that one was more unique.

What standard editing technique did you use, HDR, Focus-Stacking?
- Inquisitive learner of the variety of techniques allowed.

Chaotic human interaction in market, definitely yes, also emphasized by the blurring f/x.
I would saturate the bottom third more for "Vibrant Color" part of challenge description and maybe less vibrant sky. I'm a fan of HDR, I will post some in my Gallery next week.

Excellent capturing chaotic, bright, but lacks human interaction. Should be 4-5th place
Some ideas after the shot.

I'm sure ArtRoflmao would've had a handful of wooden people.

Or why not make a montage with a slew of magazine faces or people and put it on an easel.

Just hold up a sign FREE for first 5-20 people.
Then, only when they all arrive, tell them they get to see a Live Photographic Session and be part of it for FREE, just make like a crowd.

Close-in always makes a few look like a crowd, like when the Channel NBC zooms in close in their filming street in New York. The SNL studio audience is actually small, but cameras zoom in and don't show the back.

EYE EYE

...as he said, "I only have eyes for you!", to the Canon girl, and then to the Nikon girl. Excellent idea. I would've put the Nikon on the right side since it is black and make the names readable on the lens. Write them on if needed. You can print logos on sticker-paper.

Yes, I'm surprised too! I haven't entered a DPC Challenge for quite a while. I see this site as getting more unfair if it doesn't DQ this. :-(

Even if it slips by the "Rules", which are necessary, it is a Copyright Infringement!
It's fine for learning a technique, but only if the copyright holder allows it.
