Greetings Gaylord from the Critique Club.

Better late than never...

First impressions - cool wheels that you found. All the bright colors are nice, but I wonder with the busy scene what a conversion to black and white might have done? And I have to agree with the commenter who wanted those faces to be more in focus. The challenge was wheels, so having the faces instead of wheels in focus may not have really made a difference, but my eyes kept being drawn back to the people and yet I couldn't really distinguish features.

I would have been curious to see other shots you got - were there other angles that captures the wheels where the wheels were more isolated or had a cleaner background?

All in all I'm a big fan of creativity with a challenge and finding interesting/unique ways to photograph for a challenge, so kudos for having the camera at the right time and for taking the shot and entering.

Shoot on!

a pretty bold shot, the way the faces are interrupted. This got a 6 from me.

Already voted-- the people and cars were very big distraction for me in this picture..looks like you went to one of those flower stores LOL ( I have done that a few times for my pictures too LOL) too much to look at for me but like the idea of what was being done.. maybe the different angle from the other side and having the fence in the background would have been awesome..

great colors but the soft focus on the faces took away from the image for me.
