I get the theme, but I'm not sure if the picture really represents it that well. It just looks like a crowd to me. A picture juxtaposing a man and woman as equals in a competition or stand-off of some type would have better supported your title. IMO <5>

Without the title, I would have never connected this shot with "delicate." This is a very busy composition - using depth of field would have helped the viewer isolate a focal point.

This is so off topic and bias, besides it being just a snapshot which isn̢۪t very dynamic. Not winning many hearts but then again if it works for you I feel sorry for you. Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meier, Jean Kilpatrick now those are powerful women. You got a stir out of me and yes maybe you will say that proves your point. However, it is still a lousy shot.

the title is confusing. what am am i looking at? there doesn't seem to be a subject in the photo. it looks like there are all women in the crowd. the coat, glasses, and hat on the man in the left corner appear slightly interesting but he doesn't appear to be the main subject either. i like that you're trying to make a statement but the photo doesn't appear to be conveying a message in and of itself.

This would have been a great 'Pride' entry too.

I guess I don't see the equality message. I liked the title...how true this is sometimes.

I see it in the title, but I don't really see it matched in the photo I guess.

Different take on the challenge ... but I can't see what the matter is ... without the title this doesn't really show equality ... maybe I am missing something.

Maybe its because I am a woman but your title and photo dont give me that delicate feeling
