Picture of wife at Union Station. I was trying to take a colorless photograph except for the vibrant orange Guess hand bag. I hope this meets challenge requirements for the voters. The composition turned out pretty much as I wanted. I would have cleaned up a few spots if advanced editing was permitted. I made adjustments to color and contrast in Photoshop Elements.

striking photo, well done! IMO, it doesn't meet the challenge requirement of orange being the primary colour in the image. Your orange subject is too small compared to the size of the whole image. 7 - deserves higher score, bumping up to 9
This is an image of very good contrasts, simple. I think more impact could of been achieved if the person were more to the left so the viewer could see all the way down the corridor. 6
Great use of repetitionm however the "orange" purse really does not draw your attention at all. Perhaps you could try to focus just on her (if your camera can do that) to blur out the busy background. I say "orange" because the purse looks very red to me. Too much sharpening also, the jaggies are distracting. Score: 4
I really like this photo, It evokes many emotions. The composure is fantastic! (I'd be tempted to say lucky - yet I think not). I would only have cloned out the 3 minor distractions (debris to the rigt of the 1st column on the left just behind the lady, the black mark just to the left of the 1st column on the right & the white spot on her coat) I think that there may a little trouble in the voting for this great photo as "Orange' doesn't come across (to me) as the primary subject.
