This is quite appealing picture one would expect to see in one of Disney's christmas movies. Except that urban Rembrand.

I don't know that I would have chosen black and white for this shot (then again, I didn't see a color version). With all of the lines in the background it almost looks more like scaffolding at first glance rather than an old building. Still, its a fun shot of life in the city. Well captured.

This is a wonderful shot showing people in motion without any severe blurring
(would have loved to see you use a zoom on the two tykes and the pigeons, Ithink that would have been an excellent shot)

A good fun shot, the two kids in the left foreground along with the urbanised pigeons make it.

I like the b/w and the flatness and feel the white expanse in the foreground works well. Good catch with the pigeons too. Nice going.

Now, this is the ideal city life, wonder if b/w was the right choice since this is really happy colorful times..?

fulfills the challenge well, but the composition is not as striking as some others.

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. - 5

What I miss about this picture is the colours that I imagine are there. I don't see this where I live and miss it here.

I like the pidgeon in the foreground. LOL He caught my eye. This is nice. Love the contrast. I can't relate - it was 86 today in Texas. UGH 8
