This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: i love how she is centered in the frame, it makes you focus on her first, then take in her surroundings.
color: I am a lover of Black and White, this image does it justice. great conversion.
contrast: contrast is overall very strong, which is usually looked for in a street image
focus: perfect, its right on her face, and the blur of the background adds just so much more pop to the image
depth of field: as said previously, spot on.
lighting: the OOF circles of light in the background of this busy street add a small sense of magic or wonder to the image. i really like the lighting of the pavement as well, very interesting.
other: I quite enjoyed overlooking this image, the whole thing is inviting and brought a smile to my face. I am glad this did so well in the challenge, the commenters and voters seem to agree with me.
I wish you good luck in the future challenges, and keep up the good work!
