These men were intent on their game of Elephant Chess in a San Francisco park. I was taken by the very black jacket on one of the players. Close crop to eliminate distracting details, minor cloning to get rid of unneeded detail, levels, color, contrast, sharp.

I think this shot is a superb candid. I mean you can think for hours about why all those guys are looking at that one guy... I mean, are they thinking- where the hell did you find the last leather members only jacket? I the guy in the hat saying i will trade my "unite" hat for that jacket? or are they playing chinese checkers? you see- hours!

A bit too busy a shot. Looking at it gives no indication that the black jacket plays any important role in the composition.

So you are in on the challenge rules, and you might have taken the happiest picture in the contest. The lighting is perfect, despite the difficulty of the baseball hat, everything is in focus, and the colors are great. - 10

Not sure I understand the title. Composition is good, pulls me in to wonder what the subjects are doing.
