Great shot! Very suitable candidate for black and white treatment due to the contrasting tones. The texture of the roof and walls compliments the texture of the rocks. I like this one a lot.

I like the depth to this image. It has 'volume' which makes a shot stand out.

I like this shot a lot and it is because of the warm smile he has to the photographer, a comfortable feel in this. You have done well to keep the bike in place as it is about him and the story is richer. Your tonal qualities are really nicely handled as well. YOu have black and white with many gray tones that add lustre. The image is sharp "as a woman's tongue". You get high marks from me on this one.

I like the way the bridge in the distance catches our eye.

I agree with the above comment...that Moulins a herbes costing 8 Euros is truly distracting and robs your otherwise very strong image.

I like this one a lot it is visually very exciting. It is too bad you have some hot spots of complete blow outs but sometimes even the camera sees blows outs like our eyes do too.

Nice study of the stall holder. Its a pity the two sets of hair blend into each other but a great study of character.

Good atmosphere to this photo. Dedication in the faces. Lots here to see and enjoy.

Aren't markets colourful. This shot really does capture those colours well.

Would this have been better without the edge of the shelf and the sign. maybe change the angle and shoot the stall straight on. Interesting image.

Rather an abstract effect. The image is well composed but I would have preferred the points of interest to have been sharp throughout.

Superb composition. Love the horizontal lines - creates a very pleasing image. Very nice.

Nicely executed photo. Great smile that endears the subject to the viewer. But is it a photo of the bike or the person? Lovely period feel to the image with BSA and ARP in the image.

Nice catch there!

Good eyes for seeing this scene! You have sensor dust beneath that street sign, the silhouettes are soft.

Thumbs up for this shot, well done.

This is the same woman I took a photo of in Croatia's morning market, how cool! I like your title and the photo surely speaks of an open market. Wish she would be doing something with the onions instead of looking into a garbage bin, expressionless. Technically the image is sharp, tightly cropped but enough marginal space. Our photography teacher often would say...."Wait for the photo to be born"...I think had you waited a tad you may have shot a more interesting image. Yeah, "wait for the photo to be born"....mind you, it is presumptuous of me to say this because perhaps this was exactly what you were trying to capture, so please forgive me.

Hey, this is full of mystery and for some reason, I thought it was Michael Jackson. It is a tad dark, cloaked in ghost like features.

I'll tell Nori!!!

..........all the good ones are.......grrrrrrrrrrr.

...........and I forgot to add. I want to marry him and live in chocolate heaven.

Nice portrait but really soft. We need to see the wrinkles, character lines and also there is a lot of noise on this image, it could be because you zoomed it from across the channel LOL! There is a nice emotive aspect to your shot and I do like it.

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.

Something quite serious is going down and with those uniforms we feel the impact of 'serious'.Is this as sharp as it can be? .........or do I have to visit my opthalmologist? Nice shot.

I like his intensity and how he is almost oblivious of you. Technically a nicely composed image. I'm happy to see this.

My first thoughts, Tintin has grown old, so I really had to laugh when I opened the comments to see that I wasn't the only one who thought of Tintin.

Or maybe Bianca Castafiore is going to sing?

Oh my God ! Tintin lost Snowy...

Oh! Do not complain, I would like so much to hear this song, even at 4 in the morning... well maybe not every night then!

Congrats Brian!!! and happy new year

Congrats Brian, very nice, one of my favourite birds... but not when he laughs outside my bedroom window at 4 in the morning.

The background is not very flattering...

Good POV and you knew this too.

I would be disappointed with the amount, very very very disappointed....however the picture is good.

Love it.

Ha, love it.

Hmmm where have I seen him before. You have a lot of noise on this and he's soft but maybe you put the grain there. Determination well caught.

Needs more action but all the technical is in place.

Beautiful tonal ranges, nicely caught, good shutter speed....a winner.

This is super creative and to see this takes a photographic artist...and this is really well caught. I wouldn't mind hanging this one on my wall.

WOW the mood is fantabulous, misty and oh so UK. The reflections caught provide lovely patterns and we carbon based bi peds LOVE LOVE LOVE patterns. Nice one this.

Dear heart....this looks a bit over sharpened but the reflections are dynamite and your pov is superb.

Yup, good one, also a good entry for BLUE colour contests on TOS. Sharp and good grunge shown. Thoughtfully composed. I like it.

Wonder why you shot this from behind? We want to see their expressions of joy and not their behinds. But maybe you were gunning for body expression. I think this would have been a stronger photo had a different pov been shown. Technically tho, it is sharp and clear showing their "sweat" at the Sweat, Tar and Steam show.

Art on the beach. Can you see you have noise and clipping (block ups) and that is due to exposure calibrations gone amuck. You have an artistic eye and it shows.

Yes, two thumbs up for this shot. I bet if you turned it into a b.w. high contrast it would work also...it would be fun to try. I like everything about this...from the warm colour to the details on the door to the "thou shalt not enter" feel. Just a good catch.

WOW look at all those patterns, great church, great catch. A natural and unpretentious photograph, sharp as a whisker.

Good on you to tilt this, outta da box, and it works.

Good one, I like it, it is a nice stop action shot.

It's soft but I do believe you know that already. Really looking up huh!
