I don\\\\\\\'t think that this will do well because in the small verson the W 10th St sign is barely visable. This was a great street corner to find during the world cup festivities. There was a French restaurant on one side of the street and an Italian restaurant on the other. It got a bit rowdy, especially when this one Italian homeless man starting singing \\\\\\\"we are the champions\\\\\\\" and another homeless man yelled some profanities at him...

I have mixed feelings about this: I basically love the shot, though I think the trash barrel is a little too dominant, but I'm not reacting well to the hyper-processing. I find myself wondering how well this would fare if it were DE-saturated somewhat...
fantastic rendering, great composition and colors--this really reads "Urban". I thought of doing something similar with the "10th Avenue" street sign in NYC-but my intentions were not as creative as yours. The effects here really work, perhaps better than a typical photo.
Without a street sign, we'd have no way of knowing it was 10th street, BUT I love the USM and the bright almost surreal sense of color. Great stop action with the woman walking her poodles. I might move my vantage point so the green trash can is less centered. I really like this image.
I absolutely LOVE this shot...the edit has made it look so surreal and it looks like everyone posed for you...hope you do well with this...I love the lady with the dogs...I mean, I don't love her because I don't know her and I am a married man, but I love her being in the shot with the dogs:-)
