What's the point of the selective color? It ruins otherwise good bw.

Stools really?? But fantastic job! This must have been loads of work.

The exposure works well to draw my eye but then I jump to the hanging thingy and the light in the arches, which is yellow on one side and peachy on the other and has areas of sharp focus. I think I would like this much better in straight black and white and either cropped tighter on top or with a different DOF so the arches weren't competing for my attention.

Looking and looking for a bench - sort of like "Where's Waldo" - and not finding one. Otherwise a pleasing photo showing good mastery of your camera and editing software.

Nice! The tilted perspective adds drama to an already frantic scene. I'm not sure about leaving the color around the top, it almost seems like a distraction. Beautiful and well done, but still distracting. I would have just relied on the strong lines and motion blur in this photo to draw attention to the subject. PC lens or blured in post? Nice effect either way.

That looks more like a table and seats. I like the photoI just don't think it is a bench.

Great image - I really like the feeling of serenity around the benches as though time is frozen.

I really like the isolation of the bench sitters by the use of the long exposure. The miniaturization effect is kinda nifty too. The desat is not my favorite thing, but it is interestingly done here.

I like the motion created, and also the selective color use. Bench doesn't seem to be prominent enough to meet challenge though ... Commenting only.

I almost said no bench, but then I looked up the definition to be sure. Great photo. 7

Wow! This is fantastic. I love everything about this... from the motion blur, to the pov, to the post processing. I've always wanted to shoot something like this but never have. VERY COOL! 10
