What is nice about this black and white image is that you caught many patterns that delight us visually. However, the emotive aspect, the fact that the police are doing zilch except walking weakens the story element. Technically it is nice and sharp ...but lacking in OH WOW.

Oh so Thailand. I love it...you caught the shyness of these girls and have given personality to the image.

I like this photograph because I find it to be emotion grabbing. We cannot help but get involved in the thoughts of that one soldier who is remembering something, something that sparks our imagination. I also like the DOF you used with softening the other two yet making them seen, they too are remembering. You have composed them to the side giving plenty of space at the right. I wonder had you cropped a bit tighter if our engagement with them would have proven to be even stronger than it is right now. Lovely. Top marks.

LOVE IT...perfect for this contest you will do well. A suggestion would be to go into your shadow/highlight lever and bring out the shadows on their faces a bit more for more pizzzazzzz. Still this is lovely.

thanks again

Well observed moment,this was taken by someone who knows their stuff,keeping your eye out for something unusual,full marks for this one.

Sometimes this person knows their stuff, and sometimes their stuff is in the potty. Thank you for saying that. I thought for sure the mods are going to write to tell me that these are not uniforms but my cousin is a pastor and your ought to see how he looks once away from doing ministerial duties....a true couch potato with matching sweats.
