May have looked better if taken earlier in the morning or later in the evening but I am assuming there wouldn't have been as much traffic then.

Wish this had more contrast, sort of looks a little washed out. Nice depiction of city life though....

Like the sense of profusion and multiplicty, but feel that the overall composition could have be more interesting

Busy place, huh? It looks nice even thou there are a lot of colors and situations... It's a good photo, but I would've liked to see a focal point, but hey, the challenge is about city life and this shot represents it!

I like this shot - there is certainly plenty of traffic. As a suggestion try cropping the sky entirely out of the shot - because it's so bright it draws your attention away from the "cars" unnecessarily. A different crop might make this photo more "focused" on the traffic. Good work though.

this says city life.. but why is everyone walking away from you?

This looks very bustling. It might be a bit too cluttered to really appreciate. I think more of the problem for me is the somewhat faded looking color. I'd really love to see the color of that green building in the distance popping, for example. Also the yellow of those cabs (?) could be much more saturated.

Do those cars have 3 wheels? Where is this pic taken? Nice. I like it, just don't want to drive a car with 3 wheels

Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion, Good or Bad? Good, however, I would crop a bit off the right side so the the tower was less dominant and the bottom to remove some of he indistinguishable bits. I do have a question about what you mean to have as the focus of the image -- the people, the taxis, or the market. Good Depth of Field.

Good use of light? Mostly. The one sign in the upper right is over-exposed due to the reflected sun, but the shadows are good. Nothing is blocked-up.

What is my reaction or feelings? I want to go to this market and wander about. This image draws me in.
