Rules are meant to be broken. Some shots work better without following the rule of thirds. However, saying that the subjects are centered in the photo is wrong. They are clearly in the upper part as the bottom third is all foreground.

Instant classic! I like the fact that you have lowered your camera angle a little bit to aim right at the target! ;)

Yet another one! So, was this staged, or did you just manage to capture this real moment?

Isn't that something to behold... that nice gentleman helping that young woman by adjusting her wardrobe.
Great capture... the best of luck in the challenge.

I hope you were using your zoom cos if they heard your camera click i suspect you might have to start running :)
Great lines leading to the centre composition.
Top 3 for sure.

Un, then I saw ... oh, never mind. Good find. This is a keeper.

Literal and figurative both emphasized. I love the texture and light reflection of the brick road and the folds within the clothes.

Lots of nice texture which is complimented by the b&w. This 'touch' looks spontaneous- for some reason, I hope it was!
