The foreground lights add a nice element, and its interesting how that right turn sign sucks up all the available light. You get a special award this month for the bravest walkabout. Thanks for playing!

You get extra props just for venturing outside ... that sign makes this one a keeper!

I don't mind the missing bottom at all ... I like the angles and forms you found. In fact, I might have cut out even a bit more of the bottom and made it even more abstract. Nice image!

Nice framing job .. and tack sharp on the buildings along the canal. Looks like a nice place for a rainy stroll, and a nice bridge to keep you dry.

Definitely a nice sign of Dutch spring! I like the colors in the photo. This is one that might have benefitted from getting down on your knees and taking it at a lower angle. Nice find.

I like the moment of capture, but the technicals brought it down for me ... in particular, I thought the main subject was too dark in comparison to the tuba (trombone!) players in the far background. A tighter focus or crop on just him and the guy behind him might have fixed that, and also eliminated some of the dead space and distracting elements on the left. With just those two subjects you have a nice tight composition, and a great juxtposition between the guy madly texting on his phone and the other emphatically oom pah pah ing on his horn.

I also gave it a 5, and I remember why. There was something about his stance and his smile that made it LOOK a bit off to me, almost as if it were a posed picture. His expression just didn't seem to fit with the scene ... burning building in the background and he's sitting there posing for GQ. That was my true emotional response to the image ... whether posed or not really doesn't matter to me, its just that he appeared so out of context with his surroundings that I didn't like it. You'll have to be the judge as to whether that's a reaction to the photo or your subject. ;>P

I loved this shot ... it was one of my 10s. The funny expression on her face just makes the shot, and the processing nicely accentuates the overall feel of the image. I was one of your two 10s. I could easily see this on one of those funny, arty greeting cards.
