 This is Denver around the Civic Center. This man was watching me very closely and like usual, could not figure out what I was taking a picture of. The man silhouetted within the Greek architectural forum against the backdrop of my city was too much to pass on.

I truly enjoy photographs that take the viewer on a journey, to another place or another emotion. And a picture that allows the viewer to take in the "sights" are the best. That was the goal here. If anything, I hope to have conveyed Denver in a good light. Thanks.

Nice, crisp, clear and the silhouette makes the difference between a postcard shot and an interesting shot.

The siloutte of the person standing is the frame is a nice touch. This makes you want to enter the park and walk around. Nice vivid colors and sharpness. Great work.

Very sharp and colourful and the framing is great, athough I don't feel that the silhouetted figure really adds to the effect.

Nice composition but the detail seems to suffer from a little too much sharpening.

Good colour saturation but for me the silhouette figure makes this work - well done

crisp = great, no rule of thirds = no staying power
