 I've found this sentence from the Internet (the link provided by a DP user in the forum) my English is not really good. I'm sorry if this is not one of a common phrase...

I think you did a fine enough job at conveying your message. Though not exactly what it would be in English (don't move a muscle), it is very close and understandable, I think.

Your subject provides a very interesting focal point for the picture. Her "grayness" provides an interesting contrast with the colorful, busy background. Also, the depth of field you have chosen has helped her to be well in focus, while the busy-ness of the background is downplayed because the details are not obvious.

I think the picture could be made stronger if perhaps your angle as the photographer was slightly lower or had captured her face. Also, having her right hand (or finger things) "cut off" from the frame is almost distracting.

It is a very interesting shot, and makes the reader think that there must be a story behind it.

Good work and best wishes in future challenges. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

This is a great shot- you have to look a while, but then you realize that the back does not go- is out of place- does not fit... but that adds to the interesting qualities of the shot- anyone could have studio lit this girl aand made the photo creepy- but this is much better.

wonderfully clear and crisp feel to this shot. You captured the detail wonderfully.

The title is confusing me a little but I assume you mean something similar to 'dont move a muscle' which I understand. The lighting is good, the focus is good, certainly captured the stop motion and it links well to the title. It's a well shot candid. Street photography is always a nice thing to see.

I like the depth of field in this photo. I would have prefered if the entire woman was included in the shot though.
