Judge's Comments:
#1 This is a strong image. The person, his posture and pose, holds the viewer's interest. Subdued color adds to the mood of the image, and the pink flowers and the tall light post would keep any wandering eye in the image. Good job.
#2
#3 This image is well done and could tell various stories from this image.
#4 I immediately liked this image. The soft pastels and gentleness are nice. The eye is drawn to the man and the hanging flower basket, and everything else seems to be in the background. Including the line of green grass at the bottom is a subtle yet essential part of the composition.
