This is a great picture of colors.
Comment by Cameron from Houston on Feb 27th, 2008, 21:41 pm
Not only are the colors in this photo vibrant, but they are the point of this photograph, not just an incidental fact of a photo that is of another subject. Really exceptional!
Comment by Gilda on Feb 27th, 2008, 21:55 pm
This is truly a colorful photo. It is a great picture with lots of colorful details. If we are judging colors this picture really nails it.

The rhythm of the colors of the buildings along the street remind you of an upbeat latin dance. The buildings become the sculpture in the public place and not just a "building."
Comment by Goley Richardson from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 09:11 am
The explosion of color stimulates the senses. The fusion of tones and pure colors are integrated in a vibrant reflection of daily activities.

Wow!!

Photograph #31 of La Boca,in Buenos Aires, Argentina is not only well captured but is "all about reds, blues, yellows and everything in between".Not only that , it trully captures the essence of that charismatic immigrant neighbourhood of the City.

This photo makes me wish I was there.

Well done.
Comment by Mahtaab Billam from London on Feb 28th, 2008, 12:11 pm
This has to be the most colourful street on earth. Excellent photograph, bravo.
Comment by Stephane Binand from Carcassonne on Feb 28th, 2008, 12:15 pm
When I saw photo 31, my first thought was " I want to be in La Boca, see these colors in reality and experience this spectrum of strong colors". The photo definitely addresses the contest's task strongly.
Comment by Lilo von Possel from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 13:32 pm
This is so incredible, this must be a professional. If you aren't, then you should be a professional. I will send my details into this magazine. David - Horse and Hound UK

This picture is the best of the bunch and makes me want to go and visit La Boca. Excellent photography work - the colors pop out of the picture. Well done!

Ahh, gorgeous shades of blue and green!
Comment by Justin from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 20:19 pm
Love the contrast.
Comment by Justin from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 20:20 pm
Birds fly far. I wish I were a bird. Wonderful display of color against a plain background, which contrasts the brilliant blue tones of the central neck.
Comment by Clinton S. from Katy on Feb 28th, 2008, 20:32 pm
That is pretty amazing.
Comment by Superman on Feb 28th, 2008, 21:17 pm
well this one is just amazing...and i would think it would be incredibly hard to capture this moment too. But that is why you are an amazing photographer
Comment by Jessica from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 21:22 pm

Comment by Jessica from Houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 21:23 pm

Comment by Jessica from houston on Feb 28th, 2008, 21:25 pm

This deserves to win!
Comment by Phebe from Liphook on Feb 29th, 2008, 01:30 am
It's amazing how you can show the beauty of relatively commonplace objects.

Comment by Laura Kubina from Katy, Texas on Feb 29th, 2008, 07:16 am
This photo is very vibrant and colorful, but yet calming. Looks like a place I would love to visit. Great job!!
Comment by Tamara from Alvin on Feb 29th, 2008, 07:35 am
Amen - There is so much more to a rose, and you have captured it. I wish a picture like this came with scratch & sniff :o)
Comment by Mr B from Katy on Feb 29th, 2008, 07:42 am
this picture tells an amazing story, you relive the scene through the experience of the colors. The rendering of the lighting also enhaces the hues. The photo is beautifully framed ,the side walk becomes the diagonal axis that devides the picture plain seperating the colorless world from the world of colors.
Comment by francesca bayegan from houston on Feb 29th, 2008, 07:47 am
How vibrant!
Comment by Shirin from Houston on Feb 29th, 2008, 09:31 am
