There are many things to like about this unusual and out of the box post. First of all , I really like the tilt GOOD FOR YOU to do this and if anyone tells you to straighten the horizon line go tell them to eat their lens cap! The image is , of course busy, but there is a story within that can be seen. That busy feeling adds to the excitement of a fair. Your dof usage has been artistically used to give us viewers that "witnessing" feel, like we are peering into a life happening. I like this very much and I hope it does well for you on this contest.

It is very nice how the three shades of orange play off of each other, however the man, (the main focal point) is soft and needs to be sharply in focus, after all he's the star character as your title suggests.

It was a lovely accident. I was visiting the dyeing farm and he just appeared ... and my focus was all wrong ... but it was not until I looked at it today / yesterday that I saw the lovely coincidence of three shades of orange. I must go back to him while I am in Bali and tell him not to be soft! Thank you for your very helpful comment.

achhh these photos are difficult to take with tilts showing up everywhere. The doors seem slanted to the left, the balcony to the right. Consider using your lens perspective tool in PS to level it somewhat. I cannot help but wonder if a tighter crop may have strengthened your image. You are showing colourful laundry therefore you could crop down and eliminate the upper balcony but that is all about artistic prerogative and I bow to yours. Technically it is well done with good dyamic range of tones giving it depth and it is a sharp photo.

You are wonderful!
I tried all sorts of things to straighten it up ... but NOW learn about a "PERSPECTIVE TOOL in PS" ...! Thank you Yes - tighter cropping would have been better - when I worked on the whole image I tried to keep a lot of the building in the shot ... but when I saw how it was presented in PXLEYES I saw that a much tighter cropping would have been better ... Ahh well ...!
If you have time you can still redo and reupload a newer version. Oftentimes I take reviewer's comments to heart and follow what they suggest, sometimes not. That perspective tool does distort somewhat, it is not all forgiving.
