Great shot! I find that I focus on the blur more than the shoes in the front.

do really like the shot paul! well done, you have a good eye bru!

The colours and the textures work very nicely together. I have no complaints. Fits the topic well.

Really nice! I'd like to see the focus further down in the line a little... might prefer it, don't know. That would lead me into the picture some more. Beautiful capture.

Very nice capture! The shoes in the foreground really pop, and that's the idea, i think with this shot. I might have cropped a little also.

Best,
Jon

To be honest,I don't like the left&right part of your pic like boughey said.Your bike is lost in middle of the steps :(

Though technically well executed, I don't really see what this picture is about. just a bicycle parked at the bottom of some steps.....

It's good. I think it would be better if you would have zoomed in on the bike a little.

Try improving the composition by cropping the upper part of the image as to leave just the stairs.

Try leaving just the middle part of the stairs.

An interesting shot, but a little static. Pretty light, especially on the horses.

Cheers

ooo i like the shape of this photo a lot

Yes! Gorgeous green. Wonderful texture of the grass.

this is nice .. the dark wall could have been avoided or cropped

Very nice.
I agree that the wall could have been cropped.
I like the lines that are running across the top that are created by the combination of poles.
Plus you have the railroad which leads you through toward the center of the picture!

Should add this to the complexity theme on WeeklyShot! Nice!

the lines leeds your eyes into the picture, great use of tones, fit perfect for this picture, great compo, for me the wall isn't disturbing..

great picture!!

Busy, busy, busy but no movement. And, while the wall casts a nice shadow, I think I'd have done without it.

Really find this to neat. Love the blurred fence.

Good atmosphere. I think the sepia tones work right here.

yea the sepia is amazing (i love the tones you picked as well). the centering is great too. awesome shot!

I love it! Nice job framing it with the fence.

I adore this and agree with adjusting the tone but it is a really really cool shot :)!!

Fun picture! Nice and sharp!

Nice freeze! I can't tell from your EXIF, but you maybe could have gotten around not liking the background by trying to have a shorter depth of field? Having the background a little more out of focus would place more emphasis on the car.
Great shot as it is though.

Nice and funny scene!

great shot

Neat shot, nice clearity and colour. I find the wires on the groud a little distracting.

agree, composition could be better, the birds in the sky, if they are birds are distracting to me, I would have painted them out

I think the idea behind the composition is good.

If the birds were removed, then converted to B&W (mostly on the red channel so the church would stand out), I don't think the other issues (power lines, blue building, cell tower) would be as noticeable.

The main distraction for me was the birds, I love the green grass contrasting against the red. I agree with grahambo on the blue building but I think the power lines give it a perspective in time and express the rural area.

I love the idea but find the sky very distracting, could be the birds or the hazy brightness.

There are a couple of things that do not convince me in this picture:
some elements, as the network line, poles and steel tower take out a right atmosphere; Do you think would be possible to clone such elements?
I would like to ssee more contrast in the picture;
I would have applied the rule of thirds keeping the church either on the left or on the right.
I would suggest to you to try to introduce the above "improvements" and to see the result.

I like this but somehow I think there should be a little bit more light on the face? The shadow is kinda blocking out the face so you can't see much details there.

But it's a great effort nonetheless.
:)

congrats on the feature paul!!!

Thanks ninja-and thanks vazaar!

striking, but too centered to hold my attention for long.

I love the simplicity of this image . . . it's very zen!

came out nice!

yeah-thanks again for a great weekend!

Maybe we need to see more pix of the great weekend....

Paul,when I look at a picture and feel better
instantly,I say that is a good one.
This one is wonderful. Where was this taken?

Thanks Carl, this was taken at a festival here in Korea. I am a teacher, and i have taught these girls-they saw me with my camera and asked me to take a shot of them-and then they posed like that-i also like the way it turned out!

cool shot paul!!! like it a lot!

Thanks ninja!

fun-tastic shot, such a feel good vibe to it :)
