Interesting how one small piece of information is all the brain requires to create a story. Great job.

The HDR isn't really noticable in this. But I amke a commitment to try and give posetive feedback even when the photo doesnt exactly meet the challenge description... I like the textures a lot, but the photo just isnt very interesting. The background needs to be filled with something, maybe a lake, of a river setting. And I'd use a photo editing program to add some dynamics to the lighting, that's a bit flat as well.

Nice take on the challenge and bonus point for using the word "plethora" in the title :)

Great perspective .. Whites seem a little more exposed - could be just my monitor ..Just need a tad bit more contrast.. a play with levels and curves would have really brought this image out and made my vote change from a 7 to 8 or 9!

I like this image. I have a soft spot for well done street photography, and I like the way this one fits into the challenge. There are many, many areas of interest that keep my eye moving, all the while holding it inside the frame save the one lady on the end of the leading line on the right side. Even still, my eye likes this one, but the tones are flat. There are some true whites, but the blacks are definitely missing. With a simple contrast of curves adjustment, this one would portray a great deal more drama. Here is the adjustment I would have made:



That is with a simple, 30 second curves layer added to the entire image. Even still, I like what you have seen and captured here. I am voting this one a 7, but with a few slight adjustments this one would have crawled even higher for me. Nice capture.

Like the "existing" 9. Like the B&W, nice tones.
