 Oh, this is going to get slaughtered, I just know it. It doesn't really meet the classic rule of thirds, but I like it (not saying I LOVE it, though), so what the heck!

I shot this while sitting on the sidewalk, resting my feet while my wife and daughters were in a store. I rested the camera on my camera bag, which was on my lap and started clicking the shutter, just getting people's legs and feet. This one thirded-up the best.

good choice to use a long exposure. the motion blur adds more interest to the picture and also gives a sense of the city's energy.

One of my favourites of this challenge - and not because I live here either. The focus and shutter speed are both well done. Nice interest and the colours are good too. 9.

I love feet pictures. :) This definitely captures the hustle and bustle of NYC. I wish that the feet started at the bottom third, instead of the top third. The different shoes and motions would be more interesting than the concrete.
