First Impression - the most important one: Wow! This shot really is striking and I can't believe it didn't place higher!

Composition: Composition looks great to me! Plenty going on, plenty to keep the attention of the viewer. I like the angle and perspective--seems right at eye level, as if the viewer was walking down the street themselves.

Subject: Great choice for the City Life challenge...most definitely fits the topic. I love that there's some motion blur, showing the hustle and bustle of the city. Just the right mixture of bright colors and corporate greys (which almost defines cities to me!).

Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Colors look great! They look true to life, but they pop right out of the photo and grab your attention. Focus seems spot on in this shot, good job!

To grow its vote?: Honestly...like I said..I'm not truly sure why this didn't score higher. The fellow with his back to the camera may have hurt the image some. But I think that the way the photo is has a nice photojournalistic feel to it--very slice of life, and I like it!

Summary: Great job on this shot, all around. I think if you keep at this, you're going to be very happy with your results! This, in my opinion (and I hope yours too!), is a shot you can really be proud of.

Nice city feeling, one of the few so far that tried to capture it's "bustle". You seem to have gone out of your way to oversharpen the 2 women. I would have left them blurry to strengthen your theme of busyness.

Not too interesting.

Like the idea but kind of cluttered seeming and lacking focus

i think this could have been improved if there was some motion blur with the subjects-just to give it that sense of movement or busy-ness(?)

this is more a city moment than a city life, but it does evoke the moment well.

It's a good shot - and shows busy city life well. My only negative would be the back of the lady in black - it creates a big negative space in the centre of the image, and with the building above kind of divides the image into two. I think a person walking towards you would have been more effective.

This is nice - a very ordinary, everyday scene that shows the reality of city life. The guy in the center bothers me... rather than adding to the scene, I feel like he is blocking my view.

This is a good photo and has merits...but you spelled your title incorrectly which just makes me think you don't care enough about your entry to even spell the name you gave it properly.

Everything there but the front yard grass ;). Good photo journalism
