I am so surprised that this one isn't one of the top 3. This is so amazing!

If this was with a T/S lens and not created in PP, I would be very impressed. Still a good image, though.

Good idea, but the picture might have been helped with a shallower DOF to deemphasize the backgound

how did you process this?? it looks nice.

Eyecatching. Nice and not extreme use of f-stops (and probably HDR).

Love the colours and the dof, very nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot and catchy subject. A shallower depth of field and a closer crop would have made the subjects stand out from the background clutter.

Especially as you can't see her face, the photo, for me, seems to rest on the shape of the figures. The statue and the girl posing. I can't help thinking it would be stronger in black and white.

Outstanding shot, love how the arms framed the couple in the background. Many faces in the background draws interest to the image

I really like this. The colors are great. I think it would be great in BW as well - neutralizing all of the color and concentrating on tonal variation and texture of the scene. 7

This has a dreamlike quality to it. It's very cute...a great capture. 10.

I find the 2 black posts in the foreground a little distracting but love the shot.

nice scene, but the pole hidding part of the "statue" is detrimental (you should have move slightly on the left) and there is a bit too much crowd to my taste. Too bad because otherwise the background is nice.

Wow awesome shot, the focus and lighting are excellent!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is so close to being super duper fabtasterriffic ... It makes me think of Monopoly figures ...Anyway, Just a teeny tiny more attention to the faces and the composition because the colors and textures are SO on! 6

Time to take the HDR away from ya...
02/19/2007 08:05:39 PM
My favourite for the challenge. Wonderfully muted colour. Great that you isolate the main subjects with a subtle blur. Nothing is overdone, and the PoV is level with the action. Nice work.

Powerful picture. I really like the subjects in it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a really neat shot but I would like to have seen sharp focus all the way back. Maybe if you shot at a smaller aperature. The color and feel of the image is supurb though.

One of my favorite thus far. Can hardly tell if the lady is a statue or a real person painted up. Makes the image very interesting, as well as all the other people gawking in awe....Great job!

Fantastic capture! 10!

I'm not sure if I love the square crop on this one, but I like the bright colors.

Ohmygoodness! This is it. This has to be the blue ribbon winner in this challenge. It's perfect in every way. Your processing is so amazing, and the scene itself could not be a more perfect example of street photography at its best. 10

Those metal "statues" have become so ubiquitous in Covent Garden now haven't they? It's like walking down an avenue of metal sometimes! Nice portrait and really shows the environment. I like the way the foreground statue/ girl with their arms touching framehte two viewers further away.

such an interesting scene! the colors are wonderful

Just incredible DOF, the editing is superb. Colors are right on, composition is perfect. Would be an incredible B&W shot, but the color is an excellant choice. How did you get such great focus on your subject and perfect blur on the background and some forground. Just beautiful. A 10 from me.

I really like how the arms frame the couple behind them.

Cute, but looks very staged..The people in the bg look as if they are looking at you taking her picture!
