Surreal. I do wonder what that guy is doing. Could you have rotated it to make that building parallel to the side of the frame without cropping out the guy?

I like the kid in red on the side. I don't like the guy behind the subject, though. And though you couldn't move them, the tent support and microphone are distracting.

Lady in Blue

Nice blurred background, but allowing you to make out the crowd definitely gives it a more urban feel. The lighting is a bit sketchy...the shadows across her body are a bit strange, but probably out of your control. Good job.

Nice composition. I like the city poster behind her and the bottles off to the left. It's a little bit not as sharp as it could be...I think it gives it an interesting feel, but I'm not sure others agree with me.

City of the Dead

The color seems to be a bit blue on my monitor. I think compositionally it would have been better to try to focus on a few less of the tombs...but then you probably would have risked people not calling it 'city' enough. The tree makes a nice frame, but that black loop on the side is sort of distracting...can't tell if it's part of the tree or some sort of statuary.

Ooo...old mill canal? B&W works well, I think. I don't know if you could have gone to the other side of the water, but I think I'd have liked to see a bit more of the facade of the building. There seems to be just a bit too much sky in this photo for my taste.

Charlene on the MTA
by Kimbly

Comment:
Title comes from an old political/folk song called "Charlie on the MTA" which was written around the time they raised the fare on the Boston subway from 10 cents to 15 cents...Charlie only had a dime so he was forever stuck on the subway and couldn't ever get off. Taken in the Boylston street station in Boston, part of the Green line. I wanted to capture the feeling of rushing to get on the train before it leaves, because it's a darn big part of my life here :-) Out of a bunch of photos I took, I liked this one the best because the people on the train were fairly sharp, and the woman on the left had a sort of otherworldly blurred glow. I chose the low perspective because it created the converging lines of the doors, which to me represented the confinement of being on a packed subway more than straight vertical would have. I used a mini tripod to ensure that part of the image was sharp. I chose B&W firstly cause my camera didn't have an appropriate white balance setting and the colors were a bit on the green side, and I later when I saw that the B&W emphasized the texture of the woman's blurred outfit. I had other 'prettier' photos I could have submitted, but chose this one because it best represented my view of city life.

Interesting repetition of red truck, red mailbox flag, red shutters, red gutter (?), and girl in the red shirt.

Monday ...............on 3rd St.

I like the light...it feels like a Monday morning. Could you have stepped back a little and zoomed in so that you wouldn't have gotten your own shadow in? At least that's what the thing at the bottom left looks like to me.

Might have worked better if you weren't so close to the tree.
