One of my favorites for this challenge for this image depicts a universal scene on hoe life goes on while the weather weighs down. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

I have always wanted to shoot a biker with an umbrella. A very surrealistic subject, IMO. The background is a bit too busy. I think that opening up the aperture would improve the image. 8

By far the most interesting shot so far - and quite enjoyable. Some good compositional choices, but somehow I wish there were a little more of a dynamic to it - it lacks something, though I couldn't say what.

Nice job catching the riders, however, in order to get them sharp, you probably had to pan the camera, inducing a bit of blur on the remaining of the pic, where there are lots of interest points, like the cool archway on the right.

This meets the challenge and exceeds it with a wonderful real life capture. 8

OK, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this is by JJ Beguin. My second guess is e301. Am I right?!?! If not, I apologize. It's a nice photo.

The composition is nice and I like the buildings along the street. Good choice of the B&W.

superb! a wonderful image

6: I find myself being drawn to look at the building in the background in this image. As they are slightly OOF I then get disappointed. I guess the cyclists dont seem to be doing enough interesting for me to hold on them. The lady in the white coat seems to be looking at you :)

Good picture (which could be even better IMHO if you would have pictured only one of the guys :o)

I certainly have a weakness for Europe... And I like this particular picture, fits the challenge perfectly. 9

Great shot!

This had such huge potential; it's a real shame about the blurriness of the background, probably caused by a slight panning action on the cyclists. But I guess you were constrained by the available light. ;-) Also, a touch oversharpened. But definitely a good rainy day shot.
