First Impression Nice shot.
Composition: Composition is good. The flag the guy is holding up the face is very distracting and takes everything away for the picture and theme of rhythm.
Subject: Not the best subject for this challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Good color, lighting and DOF. Building in the back is little bit blown out.
Improvement: Better composition and timing. I think you did not shot this picture with the rhythm in mind. I would have avoided the building in the back and just took the people for the rhythm shot.
Summary: Congratulations on your PB, I am sure you are on right track and this will not stay your Personal best for long.
I actually scored this an 8 in voting. It's a really cool picture. Maybe the city in the background is a bit overexposed, but we can see everything that you really intended for us to see. Perhaps a bit of a noise issue, but that's really all. The rhythm here is both in the line and in the implied dance, which is a great double entendre for the challenge. :-)

Congratulations on your highest score. This is quite good.
First impression 1. Good rithm
2. Bright and lovely colours
3. Good applying of rule of thirds and leading lines.
4. Contrast and focus good on main subject.
What could be better? 1. The houses are a bit to bright.
2. I would like to see a bit more of the others in focus. Probably not possible.
3. The person to the right looks a bit grainy. Maybe applying of NeatImage would have helped.
4. Try to care for the score - that helps make improvements :-)
First Impression: Seems you where not right... it has worked well. A very nice shot that captures the viewer.
Composition: Great. From right to left, from up and down to the center. It really creates a rhythm.
Subject: curious, very curios indeed. It makes the viewer ask about what are you looking at.
Technical: great focus and use of DOF. The colors are nice. The only flaw is the colour noise.
Improvement: The sky is a bit blowed. IMO it would have worked better without the buildings (I know, they were there, you couldn't help it...LOL). If the first man were looking at the camera this shot would have scored much better. The noise: it happens sometimes to me that set the camera to high levels of ISO and forget to correct them later.
Summary: a really wonderful shot with some small flaws. Good job.
Very good example of rhythm and a great photo. I really like the fade away of the buildings, fills space that could of been blown out sky and at the same time doesn't distract. Very nice!
