Hello from the critique club...

Very interesting concept. However it seems that some of the colors are wrong. This could be due to lighting. It appears that this is a bright and sunny day. Sometimes that can make the colors fade. This shot definitely works well for the challenge. Good luck on your next image. Happy shooting.

Hello from the critique club...

In your comments you say that you had some shots with fewer people, personally in this case I like the more children. Each of the children's faces tells a different story. I can only imagine what the girl on the right is thinking. I think this is a nicely done black & white. You were able to bring out the textures in the stone / concrete on the right. I think you scored about right 6.2 is not a bad score at all.... Happy shooting

The best part of the image is the woman with the umbrella seen stepping up between the poles.

Same thoughts as Mark. Tough call. Gotta say I think the edge goes to this one.

She has a wonderfully intense gaze. Lovely portrait. I might like this one a bit better, but the other may be marginally better suited for the challenge -- so I'm not sure which would have scored better. Both are terrific.

Bumping this up to a 10! For me this is the entry that best captures the connecting between subject and photographer that I think is one of the nicest features of Mark's work. Well done!
