This is a treasure trove of wonderful detail, eye candy. The image keeps the eye going through it over and over again. Beautiful!! You would have had my full vote had I seen it. I'm sorry, I forgot to vote this week.
The clarity focus and color are exceptional.
The composition has depth and the subject is well defined with iight. Very well done.

This is a very interesting photo and I agree with Nightski that it contains a "treasure trove of wonderful detail." But it is too chaotic for my particular sensibility. It feels visually overwhelming to me.

To me, I think the chaotic nature of this photo is one of its virtues. Well done.

I love this photo! I want to go inside. It looks warm and inviting from the golden glows and highlights that have been captured. I don't mind all the things in the photo..to me that is what makes it. I know that if I was inside, I would feel like a kid in a candy..err "bread" store!
Nice job.
Nice job.

The plethora of delightful detail appears to me as a metaphor of that woman's life. the DOF takes e back continually to the woman at the center...literally the C.O.I. resulting in a perfect centripetal composition.
Exposure and focus/use of DOF are consummately skillful. A complex and marvelous image well accomplished!
Only possible suggestion for possible improvement would have been to use a polarizing filter to eliminate the reflections of the world outside that enchanting bakery shop...but I'm not really sure that would be a good thing....the reflections help enhance the effect of that woman's world being a joyful refuge for all who enter it from the chaos of the world-at-large.
impact: 4.5
tech:4.5
Comp:5

Thank you all for your critique. I had entered this photo on this forum on Nov 3 of 2013. It was one of a few photos I considered for this contest. It was shot on the fly when I was walking the streets of Salzburg. I knew it could be a good photo when I saw it through the lens and didn't have much time to compose it before it all evaporated.
One of our fellow hogs, Graham Smith, was kind enough to remove a bright spot that was on the head of the lady in the original photo.
I like the composition in this photo, the way the leading lines both lead to and encircle the lady. Then there all those musical breads to capture your attention. Makes me want to wait in line.

I was thinking along the lines of Uuglypher, that a polarizing filter might helped but after looking at it a little more I realized the one area without outside reflections was in the center where the woman stands, smiling. The reflections with the person walking briskly in the background add to the feeling of a busy city environment. They also obscure the men standing in line, once again focusing attention on the C.O.I. It reminds me of some of the beautiful little shops you see in Paris. I love it. If only we could get a little whiff of the pastries, the dark roasted coffee, the yeasty-doughy-cinnamon smell, ummm.

Thank goodness you've cleared that up for me pebbles. I knew I'd seen the picture somewhere before but couldn't place it.
Put it down to my age :shock: :lol:

Graham,
I can appreciate what you're saying. I can remember the things I did as a child but I can't remember what I did with my car keys.
Thanks again for your input and help.
