HOLY GUACAMOLE 14 stops, no wonder you get that HDR feel! What are you shooting with?

Good on you to get behind the performer to catch her behind. She is not impressing the crowd very much is she? Your POV is amusing for us viewers and the blase faces of the crowd make us wonder and have pity on this performer. I like your upload, it is unique and comical.

I know all about "drafted against his will"....I have a husband who gets drafted all the time

A summer day and a crowd with their backs turned to us? Technically sharp, frame filled and in spite of the fact that it is a strong light situation you don't have any hot spots.

I remember a time when "gay" meant happy. A gay photograph, showing good tonal ranges, sharp and clear. A very large crowd on parade. Where was this taken?

I think this photo, viewed in 100 years will tell a lot about our society. It is educational and tells a story of the sorry state of affairs with society...whether at a hot spot game area or as we travel we see this scene repeating itself everywhere, people no longer talk to each other. Good entry. You have a dust spot on your sensor, it's in the sky, midsection.

The horizon line tilts to the Left. If you doubt this just scroll your photo to the hard line of the computer screen and it will become evident to you....I think.

The dynamic range sure looks vast, what did you use, the vivid button on your camera perchance?

Enjoyable feel to this one, end of the day and you left something at the very end to pique our interest. Nicely composed.

I would know your work anywhere from the POV. I agree with photonut's observation that had you included the entire "reflection" of the man it would have been stronger and also it is too bad that the dog is walking away as that takes our eye away from the main focal point. The technical e.ements are really well done.

I like your HDR processing in this parade photograph, also the fact that the banners show a person blowing his horn helps to add humour to this shot.

Clear and sharp with all photographic information in place and good marginal space all around. Rich in colour, good technique demonstrated. A very agreeable image.

A bit of a different take on the rule of threes and it works! Your title also helps to steer us in the right direction as does your vantage point.

I really like the artistic bend to this one and the one third rule applied vertically. Nice

It is your creative and playful mind that shines through this professional looking upload. Your SBS is clear, the title further enhances the joy of the view. I'm looking for realistic blending, telltale lines that give away your process and I see nothing. This, along with your other chops and uploads is simply bamboozling to my mind! Top of the shelf!

Love that surreal feel, otherworldly! The dragonfly pulls on my eye. Your blending is also well done and although surreal it looks real !

Nice story here, captures the eye and we study this image longer...with a smile on our faces!

A happy snappy picture. BOO

I like the artistic bend to this upload, the grunge adds texture to the mystery and your title ties this into a great little package for the viewer.

Well done, like this one a lot. This image has emotive power and we get absorbed by the determined face of this young man.

Clearly rule of three evident. There is a slight tilt of the horizon line to the L giving a sense of imbalance.

Why did you nip off a good piece of the van. I like the blue colour but the blue hue is throughout the entire image

A happy snappy photo. You saw, you shot! Technical elements well done especially since this was a bright day, sharp on the focal points and colour is natural.

I like this shot showing the vulnerability of the fragile world around us, yet so peaceful and magical. Technically a well-constructed photograph. Nice.

A sweet cooling photo, good connection between subject and photographer.

Looks like fun with a tilt of the horizon line and a faster shutter speed would have made the image sharper. Good colour and a pleasant story to boot!

"Hope this helps."

Hey, do bears fart in the forest?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE THIS HELPS. Thank you so much. I have faved this and will have it in my files to refer to, thank you again for your talent and generous heart.

Hi, I just looked again and look behind Luigy. You can see the free transform lines behind him, you might want to take them out....they are on Luigi's right.

I tend to "gush" when a photo touches me. I gush a lot on the photoshopped side of pxyleyes.

Where is the vendor? This is a nice, colourful image. Can a popcorn sign be called a vender/vendor as I thought it had to be a person who sells goods. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

An eye catcher using great dof that brings a smile to my face. Like the humour of this post.

Sky, smooth as butter, sharpness on focal pop in the grid line and the colour palette cool and comforting. Couldn't be any better if you tried!

Lovely capturing the reflection too.

Sapid, you bet with good focus on what is exposed and enough darkness to make it ....make it....hmmmm....make it mysterious and romantic.

I like this as the Mario's don't look pasted on (something I have difficulties with). Your post is simple but strong.

A question: How do you make your work look like it is NOT PASTED ON. When I do PS my stuff looks pasted on. Thanks

Sigh, I have just spent the last 10 minutes reading and thinking about your SBS, simply mind-boggling and the end result is just incredible. I have recently been educated by a master chop and photoshop manipulator on some of the finer things to look for when reviewing work on this side of pxyleyes. Your shadows are realistic, your blending is splendid your SBS is educational and dear author, you get high points from me. THANK YOU for being here.

Purrrrfect in every way, good crop, fast shutter speed, nice colour...top of the shelf work here.... a strong entry!

A happy snappy photograph, love her hands.

Cute as a button and I was looking for you in the reflection of her glasses...next time ay!

Nice moody photograph but you do have some noise which could be eliminated with the de-noise button. Please double check to make certain there is no lean to the left. Nice tonal ranges and lead lines.

It's gone...........you are welcome.

Yup, we noticed....

It is difficult to see the main focal point. Did you know that the natural pathway of the eye is to gravitate to the brightest pop on the "canvas". Did you mean for eyes to go tot he doorway? In the old days, photographers used to turn their photographs upside down to study where the point was to where the eye gravitated to on their photographs...then they knew what the focal point was. With your image the eye goes directly to the bright door (and out). You are very lucky to have been invited into this Berber home which does look very rustic.

Win some lose some

The expression caught on that old fellow and the woman behind him makes me think that they must be speeding directly into ________ ! Clear image, well exposed with dof used to bring focus on the car and occupants.

You do have some clipping (block up) at the lower right of this shot (viewer's right). Using the shadow/highlight slider could bring out some detail perhaps. A tighter crop eliminating the line at the right would strengthen this shot. I love the warm feel in hues of browns and oranges gives the viewer an engaging feel.

Hi, you have a fine white line at the upper aspect of this shot, (viewer's) Lside going on a diagonal to his head. Those may be considered dead pixels which you can remove, or you could darken it through level manipulation but it will affect the whole shot.

Hi, wasn't this a fun contest and congrats on this win....it made me laugh out loud!
