A good capture. Good lines, good symetry and tender warm colots. Good work.

A nice portrait of this handsome gent. We can't see his eyes too well but his pose and the pipe firmly clamped in his mouth says quite a bit. I like that he is wearing running shoes. It is a nice surprise of the modern in what is very traditional dress. Excellent.

I like this shot quite a bit. I'm not a fan of selective desaturation so I'd love to see it in full color. Conversely, in b&w. The background is blurred enough and the main subject, by his colorful clothes and actions, is so different from the rest of the surroundings that he should stand out well without the boost from this technique. Of course, this is just a matter of taste. As far as the technique goes, it looks like you've done it well. ;-D

Awesome capture of a colorful subject. I love that you've included the bus in the background. The sign on the bus works as a title for the picture. Perhaps a bit more saturation? I almost wonder how it would work in b&w? They are so colourful it would almost seem a shame but I bet it would work.

Nice capture of an un-self-conscious moment between to young lovers. There's a quiet about the pair that makes you wonder, are they tired after a long day (of protesting?), have they had a fight and are making up? He is holding her very tenderly. The tough looking camauflauge kerchief makes his embrace that much sweeter to behold. Good placement of the subject and nice use of a vertical format. Excellent.

I like that the cameras and the passer-by in the distance are all looking in one direction but the central figure is looking in the opposite direction. Normally, that draws the viewer's eye away but since we don't know what the cameras our recording it makes us wonder what has captured her interest and caused that serious, squinty look. This could have worked for the Centered challenge (well....for me anyway) because you have placed her pretty much dead center. Really good example of the genre.
