Absolutely wonderful image. I really do like the way you got in close enough to cut away the pavement and make it look much more 3D. Also the way you have entered it as a black and white shot, really lends to the young boy joining in with the artwork. Other entrants have tried to add humans to the images but ended up spoiling the overall picture. Well done and thanks for entering.
A great image with a lot of interesting parts, not just the beautiful legs. The gum stuck to the sole of the second shoe; all the street detritus lying on the bottom of the painting; the way the artist has included advertising for a market, whether real or non-existent, especially as it's a meat market. Your patience in waiting for a passer-by was rewarded when he turned his head, who wouldn't? I like the way you have cropped his legs, which draws the viewer into the shot more. Well done and thanks for entering.
A very good image of street sculpture and this was one of the few non-painting shots entered. I really like the way you have used such a very low angle to get the shot and I am pleased you weren't tempted to crop right into it as I think the tram, pedestrians and background buildings all lend to the scene. I wish you had included some details such as where it was and the equipment used. Thanks for entering.
This is a very colourful and a very powerful painting. I think if I had taken this shot, I would have cropped in to remove all the rubbish lying in front, which personally I think detracts from the strength of the shot, and also cropped out the bricks on the left-hand side. I know it has the artist's name bit I think it might have improved the shot immensely. Well done and thanks for entering.
There were so many excellent entries that included people moving through the image. I chose this as Number One because of they way you managed to show the area surrounding the artwork and how it has brightened the aspect, and the old man looks as though he is trying to get out of your shot. A very good focal length also helps in making it a strong photograph. Well done and thanks for entering.

I'm very impressed that you managed to get your reluctant child to be part of the shot, as it really gives it good strength and depth. His presence also lends a narrative to the image. Having taken shots of this back in April on a visit to Swanage, I know that I will have to return to see if anything has been done to refurbish this building. A nice shot, well done and thanks for entering.
A very well caught shot, very much in the style of Henri Cartier-Bresson. The way the pedestrian is staring down makes me wonder if he was walking his way around the curves to get to the centre of the circle being careful not to step off the white line. Then, I wondered if he had already made his way carefully around the maze. A very good composition, no wasted space and I like the way you have the walker out on the right, a good use of the rule-of-thirds. Thanks for entering.
This is a very powerful image, especially as the rust on the side of the vessel lends to the bleakness and desolation of the face. It's a shame that the writing isn't clear, but that isn't your fault, just age and rust. I think if I had taken this shot I would have shot from more directly in front of the painting. A great shot though and thanks for entering.
This is an excellent shot and the very fortunate, or placed, position of the well-sited mop has made an amusing image even more amusing. I'd like to think that you worked out several angles before ending with this one. Also a great use of the "nifty fifty". Well done and thanks for entering, it really made me smile.

Thanks very much for entering this shot. As you might guess, it isn't the only one of Smug's artwork, especially those in Glasgow but I do like the way you didn't crop it and showed the High Street and how the artwork had brightened up the area. Personally, if I had entered this shot I would have lightened it slightly to emphasise the artwork, and this was the only aspect of the photograph that kept it out of my Top 10. A really good shot, well done and thank you so much for entering it.

I want to see shots of any street art but definitely not graffiti or two-tone Banksy-style. Whether stuff like Space Invader and similar or even municipal art or street furniture, it must be "on the street" . There are now lots of wonderful artists bringing beautiful art to our streets, globally. No images enhanced in Photoshop either please, use your cameras. If you can catch some passer-by involvement that would be good too. Enjoy.
A very good angle. Of your two images of the Weeping Window, I preferred this one because of the colour of the sky and the way the poppies look as though they are pouring out because of the tilted angle caused by the short focal length. I've taken shots of these poppies all around the country since the Tower but was unable to get up to Derby, so thank you for letting me see this installation. Thanks very much for entering.
