the colorful market place in graytone, interesting. might have looked better in color. too many small things to differentiate one from another in black and white. very nice compostion.

Wow look at all that is going on here.....I wish for color. Focus is really nice, and the composition too.

It looks like this image was resized pretty poorly.... All of the detail is lost in jaggedy edges where there should be clean lines. This is a great image, though.

Im a big fan of black and white, but this shot Im thinking color would have been better. There are so many intresting items. You just know the colors had to be great.

While I like B&W photos, I really wish this one could have been in color. Looking at it I can only imagine the riot of color that must have been present. 7

I'm rather surprised at the B&W choice (but then again, I tend towards very colourful images). Were the colours distracting?

wow. This is a very busy photo, however, very nicely organized. the patterns are great!! curved and pointy, round and square. very lovely. I like the use of black and white here. I think without the color, it turns it from busy, to artistic. I'm not so sure about the guy though. his shirt is very bright, and I think it might be just bright enough to draw the eyes away from the patterns in the goods. overall very very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

I have been asked to give an indepth critique on this photo for the critique club...I pretty much summed it up in my original comment during voting, but I will attempt to be more descriptive. :0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial: This photo makes me feel sorry for the person.

Composition: The framing and angle are excellent for this photo. He is in chaos, and the angle adds to this feeling.

Technical: I mentioned that boosting the brightness/levels a bit would benefit this photo... I said this because his face is in such shadow, and the overall tone of the photo is dark. Not too bright...just enough to bring out more detail.

I am left wondering what he is doing. Writing a list? What is going thru his mind?

Good catch, Meeks!
