Great shot, I love the focus on the man with the tie and the blur of other people, and also the columns that make think that it is a kind of spy shot !
Congrats.

I came back to find this photo and see how it did and I was stunned that it didn't score higher! This is an awesome photo! I'm guessing some people didn't care for the desaturated look. I think you did a great job on this! :)

i love the ever so subtle selective desat. it really works to draw your eye to the man. also very interesting effect you got on the otheer people. Good luck

All things lead towards the guy in the tie, don't they? The lines, the small, subdued patch of colour and the blurring of the other people. I think that this is extremely well done.

I usually like the selective desat. but I don't think the tie should be the focus here.
Well composed however.

I really like the blur in everyone except for the one guy and slight color in his tie. You did an excellent job in catching this and working the desaturation (right word?) on this!

Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture from so are easiest to pick up.

One of the most interesting uses of leading lines in this challege. There are both vertical and diagonal lines and they very, very effectively draw attention to the walking man in the suit. You engage the viewer to speculate on your message.

I like the blurring although it's a bit overdone on a couple people. Lines were sort of leading away from the object in study though.

How on earth did you do this? I can't figure it out how you blurred just the other people. I really like both the concept & the execution, and your title made me laugh. Excellent work!
