Congrats on this win!

It's a deal!

because of your gutsy take on this tower ...the tilt, it makes it a cut above and I like it a lot. Good detail showing in the bricks, nice gray zone balance. Kudos!

Congrats on this win.

Congrats Brian, well done.

CONGRATS ON THIS TRIPLE CROWN win.

mmmmmm congrats on this win.

Yum, congrats on this win.

A YUMMY big congrats on this win.

I like how you caught the shadows. Nicely rendered.

I like the creative thought behind this clear and humourus image.

great sense of humour you have. Yes, sardines is right but they look comfortable enough. I wonder if this photo would have been stronger with a crop out of those white cars?

Nice balance to this image....sharp without over processing (ahem), just like it...colourful.

.......yes and a good reason to shoot whilst traveling, the photos resurrect memories for us.

Nice presentation once again. ....through and through.

Great marketing presentation, nicely set up....Yes I would buy these chocolate balls, they are stimulating my appetite....thank you very much!

A great marketing presentation. I bet Windsor and Newton would purchase this...or have they already. I'm studying your high pass technique and you are gooooooood.

I love the artistic touch to this piece, the minimalism of one person. Visually I do think there would have been a stronger impact with that side bit cropped because it does take attention away from the beauty of the image....I know this is all about artistic prerogative and I bow to yours.

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.

I think had you done that you would have had a frame full of chilis and no further story. Where in the world does one find chili pepper on a woven or in a woven basket....mystery!

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.

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.

I like this and it would have done really well in a RED focal point contest. The image is sharp with good contrast evident and you kept part of the woven basket in the frame which adds a very exotic feel.

I like this one for many reasons: it is sharp "as a woman's tongue", it is exotic, it is well saturated but not overcooked, it has a nice tight crop and that way viewers instantly get pulled in. It is also nicely balanced (no tilt). I love the dynamic range of tones and to my eyes it is a stand out.

Wow on your creativity and wins.

Congrats to you mi amiga.

Congrats Angelica!

I like how you kept part of the background in the photo to emphasize the mural on the wall. Nicely shot and it is well balanced.

Clear and very crisp image, I wonder what the front half looked like Many colours catch our eye.

Cool, love the mural and colourful it is, why did you nip off the end of the motorcyle? This is very "wall" drawn and photographed clearly.

Ok I will remember that and be more careful. Thank you for speaking with me Heathcliffe.

OK I think I might be going too heavy on my high pass....it's like a new toy for me. If you wouldn't mind when you see entries that seem a tad over sharpened to your eye can you mention it in your review....most likely they will be mind. Thanks. Think I have to be more careful.

Yes, can you provide the link for me. I look at these photos ....gosh they are all dead, like we will be some day. Life clips along.

Congrats on this win.

Congrats on this.

So deserve this win...CONGRATS.

Did you use high pass to sharpen? IF so what percentage? Thanks

Nice win, congrats.

Congratulations on this exquisite win.

Congratulations on this win.

Congrats on this win.

Hey B congrats!

I see you want the focus on the box and have softened the "stuff" inside the box. This has a natural feel to the photo. Not overdone and point of view has been brought to our eye level.

Cool and a fun photo. This one is well composed and does not look snappy. Nice and sharp without oversaturation.

You passed by this shop and I can see you have expensive taste....snap...got the shot!.....and now you are teasing us. I like how the "kaviar" is inside the tubes which are inside the boxes.

This contest was made for you. Thank you for these thought provoking posts.

Ahhhmazing, your SBS is really clear. I love getting lost in your photos the make me feel like a time traveler. Thank you.

Unbelievable how this fits in. You get my vote and this is truly a blast from the past.

This is really funny, and colourful too. People lost in their balloons. Nice that you shot this for us, many would just pass it by.

Gosh I see that now and THANK YOU .
