I like what you were trying to say, but I think some of the decisions you made in resolution/compression compromised its visual impact. On my monitor the people, especially those at the left middle crossing the street aren't as sharp as they should be.
I feel this picture would be best if saved for the 'Crossing the Road' challenge. good use of blur to show people running. This is ine of those intersections where you can cross diagonaly? Neet! I've always wanted to do that.
This is a really good idea. The runner jaywalking iis a great touch. Now for the buts......Look at the street sign hung on the lamp, almost completely washed out. Next, sorry, but you must have a low end camera, it makes a difference when you have lots of "data" like this. Red coat girl for example, she has a face and a nose, but that's all I can make out. I am surprised I can tell she is smoking, probably. This lack of detail hurts your overall image. Sorry to pick on your hardware, but it's true. Photo 7 Creativity 6 Road 7 total 7 (IF I am wrong, and you have a multi-mega pixel camera, please subtract two points for lack of detail)
There are indeed people on the road in this photo. When this photo 'speaks' to me, it is whispering 'hustle and bustle' in my ear moreso than my 'own' concept of 'on the road'. The overall artistic impact of this photo doesn't really grab me but the challenge has been met :)
I like that blurred girl especially. It might have helped to focus more on one of the elements in this photo more, rather than the whole thing, which is a little busy for my tastes.
