This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: i love how she is centered in the frame, it makes you focus on her first, then take in her surroundings.

color: I am a lover of Black and White, this image does it justice. great conversion.

contrast:
contrast is overall very strong, which is usually looked for in a street image

focus: perfect, its right on her face, and the blur of the background adds just so much more pop to the image

depth of field:
as said previously, spot on.

lighting: the OOF circles of light in the background of this busy street add a small sense of magic or wonder to the image. i really like the lighting of the pavement as well, very interesting.

other: I quite enjoyed overlooking this image, the whole thing is inviting and brought a smile to my face. I am glad this did so well in the challenge, the commenters and voters seem to agree with me.
I wish you good luck in the future challenges, and keep up the good work!

Haha, love this one. Reminds me of all the girls asking for my photo in China (I'm 6'6", so I was practically a celeb over there). Excellent photo.
