I kind of like this one. I am not good at predicting scores, so I am guessing my current overall average. At the moment, I am thinking that might be a bit optimistic.

My first instinct was to guess it was going to be a tiny violin. My second was to just guess my average. Lesson: go with your first instinct.

I love the expressions and want to know the story - what are they looking at? And why is the center subject so startled or disturbed looking while the others, esp the one on the right, are so blase. I would be much closer to your score if it wasn't for the tones, light, on the center subject's face. Very distracting whether it was blown in the taking or in the processing. I gave it a five. Guessing 5.4
Makes you wonder what they are looking at.... nothing too bad or shocking or it would be expressed on their faces, but I'm guessing something more than just waiting for the bus! 5.8
How did you make a street shot look like a Renaissance painting? How did you find Aphrodite? I actually think this is so beautiful that even DPC will not miss it completely. 6.24
I like this - fully of drama but it looks like you've used some structure to pull in a bit more faux sharpness. I think some might find it a little coarse in its presentation. I gave you 6, I think it's worth more, but it wasn't a 7 for me.
I think you'll end up a little lower - something like 5.98
I would have given it more, as I like the anticipating stare by the random crowd. I suspect the intense saturation and high contrast may work against you though. I predict 5.4742.
Looks like the bus is here! interesting street shot with all looks left, I find your choice to show it in colour refreshing! I'll agree with your prediction of 6.0714 Good Luck
I think that whatever they're looking at (which is obviously worth looking at with alarm) would get you the 6, this I think is going to get you a 5.565
Judging from the bit of experience I have with DPC voters and street... I predict 5.9.
I love the expressions .... all in their own way anticipating their own travels.
I love how it feels as if we are almost too intimately close to the subjects here. I love how they are completely seemingly unaware of the camera. The texture is so detailed yet not overdone. The tones are grungy but feel completely natural. So human. So current. It is a nine from me for now. My fave of the challenge so far and I think the DPC community will agree. predict 6.92
This has Mark written all over it though I am probably wrong. Either way I am impressed how you can take photos of people so close to them. I like the expressions on all the people - perhaps they can see your camera is pointing in their direction or there is something interesting they are all looking at off to the right. I estimate 6.2
You may be right with the score, not a great photo, but enough to leave you thinking what they could be staring at, I gave you a 6. It might get around 6.15
Very good street shot. I like very much the POV. The processing is too pronounced for my taste, unnecessary sharpening in the background and halos. I took away 1 point and marked ...(erased as per challenge rules)
I'm a big fan of street shots so I'm a little biased.
I like the contrast and I'm left wondering what they are looking at and how you were able to get this shot.
I was three points higher than your guesstimate.
Back to enter my guess, unfortunately I feel there aren't enough street lovers here to push this over a six. My guess is 5.87
I gave this a seven. The look on the face of the central woman appears worried and is an interesting contrast to the other three who look bored. I predict 5.6.
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little high, I gave you a six but I predict that you will finish at 5,3347
Fascinating street journalism shot. Hope you will tell us what has the attention of these folks. Clearly something is quite concerning. Sharp, compelling image. Going to get better than a 6 from me.
