Like the simple muted tones. You look to be a touch oversharpened. See the white line on both sides of the pole? This however could be because it's such a dark subject against a much brighter background. Tough to get the sharpening right here.

Too bad about the shadow being where it was... Nice vivid colors without being overdone.

Back Alley – No Entry

I guess that technically this fits the challenge but not what I would have expected to see. Not sure I like the selective desat.

Your choice of selective desat for this shot really works well. Nice focus. Hard sometimes to get that right with a moving target. Great DOF. A touch underexposed but overall a nicely done shot!

Very nicely done if a bit oversaturated. I think I might have toned the colors back just a touch. Great seperation of people and environment while giving enough detail of the damn to make sense.

My first thought was ugghh... But then I took a (mental) step back and looked again. Great placement of hand over behind to hid most of the ewww factor. Nice lighting. Nice choice of b/w. Great placement in the frame to give your viewer just enough of your subject. I would normally say your frame is a bit too impressive but it seems to work here. You do seem to have some jaggies on the diagonal parts of his leg which is probably from the resize.

Your DOF is a little shallow for my taste and you appear to be oversharpened just a touch but that could simply be the dark on light hard lines.

I think I like this more than the single backlit flower shots I've seen so far.

This looks a little too high key for my taste. Nice composition but I would like to see him (her?) a little higher in the frame.

This is just an incredible capture and an excellent choice for this challenge! I just love the slightly underexposed look of it. I simply love the ever so subtle motion blur. I love the bokeh of the background (but the people toward the bottom are just at smidge of a distraction). Kudos on an excellent submission!
