I went to the markets and took guerilla photos... not putting my camera to my eye, but holding it at waist level and taking photos whenever I saw something interesting, so people wouldn't notice they were being photographed. This was my best shot.

Well, this photo came in the bottom 10, partly because it was overambitious use of a low resolution, point and shoot camera (judging by all the comments about blurriness, shutterspeed, and other things I couldn't actually have controlled), and partly because I post-processed it in a bold way, turning the colours up, burning out the background by playing with the levels, etc. I liked it that way, and I still think this is one of the most satisfying photos I've ever taken, but my taste is not shared by many people.
On my monitor the upper left looks more overexposed than what I'd like. I like the variety of people and actions within a small space. If there were enough resolution, I might have tried cropping this as a vertical image, using the bottom-right as the anchor point.
The overexposure and background elements detract from the focus here. Also, the colors seem very washed out. I like the subject, but the lighting kills this for me
I like that you got down to the little girl's level to take this photo. I would prefer to be looking at her (instead of her walking away from me). The photo also seems very pixelated, and based on your file size I don't think it's JPEG compression. Did you use a high ISO setting?
Not so good. Your subject's movement doesn't help this shot, so appears blurred. The upper left portion of the picture is over-exposed, too bright. The coat behind the girl's head is soooo dark, her head disappears into it. Other characters in the background look bad, and the dress in the foreground might have been a pretty distraction, if viewable. Sorry, Photo 3 Creativity 4 People 5 total 4
Nice idea for a candid streetlife scene. The area on the left is a little distracting because it's so burnt out - I think the only way to avoid this though would have been to close in and/or move to the left.
