My eyes don't find a focal point/subject. Almost every part of the picture is quite busy--I'd like to see more calm areas. In sum, I'd personally prefer a contrast between a more sensory-laden subject and a calmer backgroud.
Cant really make anything out of this picture. Is there some mistake or why is it so small?
Overall, nice scenery and lots of people having fun never lights me up. Would have taken either nice scenery back there or nice people into picture, but having them both side by side doesnt look good.
It shows life in the city well - but it's so small. It looks a bit like the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background. Make you you post something a lot closer to the 640x640 size next time.
Nice if a bit small; like the colors and the inclusion of people in foreground; think it would be better if the perspective focused more outward towards ship and the river, including fewer people in foreground
Fits the challenge. I do see city life here. The shot seems kind of busy though, which could work, but I find my eye not finding something solid to hold my attention and draw me in. Seems like focus could be sharper here, it is hard to tell with the small size. I'm sure you are getting lots of comments about the size :-) It really makes a big difference, larger shows off so much more detail. There is a great tutorial in the 'Learn' section here on the site about sizing and entering photos for challenges. I would say you've got a good eye for subject, just need to work on some technicals and composition.
Would love to see it a little larger. Maybe composition-wise, maybe a 2/3 water, ship and sky, and 1/3 people at the bottom would have been better than half and half with the few people that are in the middle of the crowd.
