I like all the different colors, but I think there is too much in this photo. Next time, try focusing in more on one single subject!

This looks like a snapshot off the local streets. It would have been really nice to see a bit of dynamic editing to this to allow for items to really pop out and grab the viewer. Hit of curves and saturation would do it.

Nice tones but a slightly boring composition.

pretty good shot, maybe if you got closer so that the main subject of the picture (all those goods) filled the whole frame.... just a thought.... good job though
