What I like: The candid feel. The colors as well as the people moving and the semi-centered composition all work well together IMO.

What I didn't like: The red bucket is a bit distracting, but other than that, I'm not sure exactly how this fits the challenge...

Nice picture but not what I envision as Superstitions & Urban Legends

A tighter crop to eliminate the trashcan and some of the extra above them would help bring focus to your main subject.

Decent. Good contrast and decent color :).

I like this, though it would be more attention-grabbing if the woman in green was more of a focal point - maybe by a slightly narrower DOF?

I think this looks like lighting incense at a shrine. Us westerners aren't gonna get this one as much. I like the candid nature, but I don't like the motion blur of the sideways guy.

Im not sure whats shes doing or if the women is even the subject since theres so much going on and shes also out of focus. a more detailed title may have helped.

Don't care for this image. Just lookes like normal people doing everyday things. A candid shot. Which there is nothing wrong with Candids. Just, doesn't give me the feeling of hope, or that the person us using a superstitin to create hope. Its just people on the street.
