Interesting take in the theme author, well done.

Spot on theme and well executed.........well done author.

the strange thing is, she might well belong to a 'culture' like the rainbows, but she is still begging for money from the 'normal' society............a little hypocritical don't you think!

is this rebellion, or part of an act?

I am not disbelieving you, just quting the guidelines for the contest.....

"it must be clear it's a city park or garden. So there must be some cityscape in the background or some other sign of city life in your entry..............."

is this a park, or just a garden?...........also, the hose is a bit disturbing to the eye.

at momvera, not necessarily, I have seen avenues like this that are not parks, but roads or lanes leading to big houses. The lack of anything else in the shot does not help the case.

this time I would have been armed with his marching orders........

nice shot of a tree lined avenue, but no sign of city life in it.

has to agree, the feeling of emtiness is there, but also has to agree with Jawsh, it is also OOF.

good effort.........I hope you didn't ruin the book by doing this.

agrees, but it is on theme

good effort, but the paper background is not obvious.

this is great, but with so much light in the fg, how did you get so much black in the bg? looks like you use some sort of ring flash.

lose the frame author, before you lose the image.

mmm, I wonder who's this might be...................stunning shot, well framed, lit, everything, well done author.

was this taken on a phone?

Pregnant and homeless, I wonder which came first. Good capture.

good effort, but not much focus on the workers.

you see way more than this on any beach.........so where is the problem?

much better..............

phew..........getting very warm around here.............excellent shot, I just hope the 'keep it clean' brigade don't start whinging............

Ay caramba.....that's hot stuff!!..............great entry author.

good effort author, good luck.

no, imo, it does not........the picture looks sadly out of focus, and also has blown highlights.

great shot, but more about the view than th eperson admiring it....imo.

imo, this is more about the sea than about the person in front of it. not really a portrait shot at all.

good effort, but the flash has blown it out a little

not really about the back of the head!

cute!

Kyri, his barrel is full of grapes or berries of some description........sort of farming I guess!

you know kellie, we have these guys here too.........I only speak from what I see!....

the guy this end is leaning up against the truck, that's not exactly working a sweat up is it!

I agree........it sort of looks out of place just on the hands.........and the pose is not the most attractive............sorry

I hope not.............

personally, I think the blue makeup makes the shot!...........it is a focal point which brings it all together. well done author, great work from you, as usual.

sorry, but I find nothing alluring or sexy about this, it looks like it belongs in some sort of horror movie....

where is it?

works for me .............such long looking legs..........nice capture.

really, and why is that!.............surely not the green eyed monster rearing it's ugly head..........lol

yeh, behind the bike sheds with a dame looking like that............shirt needs to be off.......
Nice capture by the way......

there is only one pair of lips on this site that look like that...............

Jail Bait!..........Nice capture though, well done.

Vibeke, sometimes, the picture is more striking by the horizon being off level........it is a modern way of shooting things. but in this case, Jawsh is right, the issue is the sun, not the horizon...........

great shot, but I only see one book here..........

an interesting take on the subject.

nice job, I wondered if you had played with the clarity, it is something I have been experimenting with myself....

Nice capture....a little post edit has been used, what was it?.........the skin tones and the material for the jeans do not look so natural.

or a bricklayer................
