Jurors Scores Critiques
Ann Alimi 9 Nice street photography capture. The different positions and expressions of the ladies is interesting and somehow the bottom area is not distracting and adds to the motion of the image.

Interesting also that image is in black and white but lines are red on the train. It is a bit underexposed which makes all the important black areas loose all detail and faces a bit obscured.
   
Kerri-Jo Stewart 8 Interesting shot. Great composition. I'd love to see the image reworked and tried a few different ways.
Try to bring out more definition/brightness in the faces; keep the shadows and bring out the highlights.

I'd also look at removing the colour from the bottom half of the image for a competition. Although I think that this image is really strong and I’d love to see it used in an exhibition and making a statement as a series.
   
Leah Gray 9 A well captured street scene - well done. The main subject centered on the frame as well as centered in the window works very well and give a strong presence.

he indifference of the two supporting figures adds to the story. Consider eliminating a portion of the lower frame to strengthen the composition.
