First off welcome to DPC and congratulations on entering your first 2 challenges, its quite a step to parade your work to the dpc masses (we are a fickle bunch sometimes).
I didn't vote in this challenge but would have probably voted this a 4. I like the perspective, the bikes, balloons and the group at the table, but, as a single image its a little messy. Your focus is a little out for my liking and as another commenter mentioned this might work better in colour? Of course, I don't know what lengths you went to in order to take the shot but feel a closer crop on any of the 3 main subjects might have worked better.
That said, you scored a 4.8 on your first challenge so thats a full 0.6 better than me lol. Good luck for the future here at DPC and above all enjoy your photography!
Ciao Andi,
thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate your suggestions and, above all, thank you for encouraging me. I hope that you will take a look again to my pictures in the future, and tell me what you think about.

interesting... i do long for color in this pic for some reason - tho i see the creativity of the B&W (where's the beer? LOL -- minute maid is a juice isn't it?) LoL interesting crop/shapes created here too i like the texture of brick / leather seat/ umbrella)
