and it's a really good one! love the fact that they're both looking away the same direction. lil bit of a shame you cropped maya's feet off but i guess you figured that part yourself already ;)
monochrome/sepia treatment is really nice imo, maybe the vignette could have been done a bit more subtle tho.
keep it up!

eta: just saw you posted this almost 2 years ago...

Comment by Jacko:
A dog's best friend. It's read, but the whole composition seems a bit too snapshotty, ie. you saw a red object, snapped it, the end. 4. J

Comment by Citadel:
A simple subject and an interesting idea. The colors of the subject are rich and nicely saturated.

The composition is a bit dull. Getting lower would help for starters. Moving the hydrant off center would also help. Get a bit closer to give the subject more prominence in the shot or try getting away from the hydrant and relying its color to bring the eye to it.

The background of the picture is distracting. Using a larger aperture would allow you to blur out the background.

This hits the nail on the head for meeting the challenge.

Comment by madcrabber:
you could make the composition stronger by placing the fire hydrant a little more to the right in the image.

the guitar being cut and the second person on the right are slightly detrimental.
