Voted but was unable to comment:
Congratulations on your 12th placing. I love the color and the absence of color in this image. The framing with the walking figures and then the white background in which to capture the subject matter. Wow!

Great composition. I like the muted "hand-tinted" tones. A father and son taking time for each other as the rest of the world hustles by... I love this shot. It speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing this... (10)

A very good snap for me. The crowd adds to the candidness. Was it setup or actually a candid shot? - 10

The foreground figures, while offering a nice frame for the main subjects, are too heavily weighted and dominant. The Father & Son connections is just grand. Great candid.

Nice concept. Could be improved by having the central elements in sharp focus and softening the others.

Great photo. I really like how you made them the focal point even with all the people walking by in front of them. Favorite that I have seen so far.

I like this one, but it seems to lack a certain symetry to put it over the top.

This shot stands out above all the others in this challenge. I dont know how well it will do as there are a lot of voters on DPC who just do not appreciate such work. I am particuarly fond of the figures in the foreground which leads the eye to the main subject. Best of luck

Edit for spelling mistake !

you may get some comments about hte other people, but i think the photo is great with this little peak through the busy crowd to see father and son bonding off on their own.

Really great, my choice for the blue ribbon, 10

I like the way your subjects are framed by the other people. Nice work!

This shot is very delivers. It would also make a great stock shot. I think the background is a bit too overexposed, but the way this shot is set up makes me think that is intentional. Good job.

Fantastic. Framing, Lowered saturation. Not including the heads of the people in the picture was a well thought choice. And most of all, the look of the child in the eyes and relaxed nature of the older man is genuine. Well done.

I like the composition. Two guys alone in the crowd. Focus seems to be sharper on
the girl on the left which draws the eye away from the guys.

Very nice compostition. I just wish the foreground were a little more out of focus, so you could focus on father and son.

I like many things about this, but the crop - shoulda had the subjects fill much more of the frame, imho. Good job though.

Nice use of desaturation. 8.
