You know, I almost commented "This must be jagar's" but then I remembered you were scoring so poorly and this had to be scoring well. I wondered who was doing a great imitation of you! Congrats on the blue in a challenge you naturally owned. :-)

I figured you'd be in the blue. :)

One of my top picks - wonderful interaction and suggestion of stories in the lives of these people. And I'll bet you got very close if you knew the subject of their conversation - French people may be animated, but generally they are not loud when they are in public places. That's one thing Americans visiting France comment on - if they ever quiet down long enough to notice :)

lovely progression. really mature women have so much to say.

I was one of your 10s, and I didn't actually think this one was yours. I had you pegged for one of the other ones with cobble-stoned streets.

When you can hear the street, you know you've done something right...

great light. the jagar esque processing makes sense out of a chaotic image.
Post actions
well timed.... wonderful shadows.
Post actions
A wonderful story, with powerful acting. You catch everyone at the exact second where everything has that special meaning.
Post actions
But are they speaking your language, great scene, I can hear the yabbering ;)

A great example of the drama filled art form street shot, very well executed.
Post actions
Very nice. Each grouping tells a stor as the recide into infinity. Not sure who declared letterbox borders a fashio statement, but I find is detracts from an excellent photo.
Post actions
Top notch! There are lots of stories we could write about this scene...
Post actions
Nice composition with the three groups. Unless I'm wrong, the dodging of the folks in the shadows makes them look a bit too bright compared to how I'd think they'd be rendered. It work well though, and the line of the shadow itself pulls the viewer through things well. Nice timing with the gesturing and the open mouth. Feels jagar y.
Post actions
Great. Wonderful shot of street life.
Post actions
I could sit here all night and make up the conversation! :) Great capture - this is what it's all about, IMO. One of my top picks and I am 86% through voting.
Post actions
Lovely European feel, nice catch of the gestures, both the ladies chatting and the woman holding the child's hand.

A wonderful story has been captured here that is nicely balanced by the people walking away. The processing is very well done and I really like the way you have made the ladies pop. I feel it is almost over done with the far left lady’s foot becoming almost unrealistically bright compared to the path. I say almost, as it doesn’t distract from the power of the image for me. Well done!

Wonderfully composed everyday scene.

Very nice. I love the gesture happening.

Two of a kind,great stuff,looks like a John but as everyone is trying to emulate him .......
Post actions
Interested in how you got to get the people to stand out in the correct exposure bracket between shadow and highlight (noticeably the child and mother walking half in half out, and the lady's bag and leg). I assume selective dodging (/burning) - but how do you make it look so natural / the transition not really count?

Must be John's - the mix of clarity and glow in a cobbled street setting seems indicative to me.

This is a great shot. Love the lighting on the ladies.
