I don't get how this didn't place AT LEAST in the top 20. I give up on what the voters here think is a good or bad picture. I personally love this pic and think that you were robbed. Better luck next time.
oh goodness! my first bit of attention was at the lady on the motorized thing.. LOL I guess that means you might have missed keeping the attention on your main subject, despite the background being out of focus. I am curious how this shot would have turned out if you did a very severe crop right above that little that is above the wheels.. might have worked out, or might just be me off on a flight of fancy! :)
One of my fav's so far. I pick this one to place. If it doesn't do well (top ten at least), then your work has not been appreciated (sometimes that is a complement).
beautiful photo... the mood here seems to be nicely enhanced with the shallow depth of field... the transportation theme is doubled by the the bike wheels and the 'moblie' lady on the left. I particularly like the toning on the photo. It adds a mood and warmth of some sort that black and white doesn't do. excellent work... = 10 - setzler
