#1 works for me. Good job

First one works, although a bit ... I hate to say boring but..! With a few more people there it would be more engaging, or reinforcing the 'waiting' staement.

The picture of the 2 boys is beautiful. However I wouldn't they were waiting for a train (toy) to come by on the tracks behind them. They're to out of focus, and I wouyld not have known what they were. I actually though they were in a plant store. But, still a cute, memorable capture of them.

#1 for sure :thumb

Number one is great! Wow! I saw that and thought to myself "nice job". I don't think it needs more people - I also think the monochrome makes it very strong.

#1 for sure :thumb

:agree #1 conveys the theme best.

#1 is my choice as well.

I like #1 as well. The expression on her face cracked me up. :)

I like that she's leaning (clearly not going anywhere) and the she's got her thermus on the ground (though only saw that on a 2nd read).
The two billboards with the white circles look like 2 alien dominos slowing inching their way towards the unsuspecting victim. Or I could just be crazy. :D

I would crop off a little off the bottom to have her be more in the lower right hand corner. But that's just me.

Nice shot!

Kate-
They're all great shots... I like #1 the best! I agree about the cropping on the bottom. How perfect that she just happens to be waiting under the bus sign, too!!! :)

I like your pics. #1 does convey the theme best but seems rather busy and common to me. I like #3 and would have entered this. Title - waiting for the train (I get the tracks). Wonder what effect including the feet/legs of the man behind the kids would have on the image (if present in the original). I would have also made the image tad blacker.

Nr1 is may favorite. It's one of the few of the entries of challenge 79 till now that actually say "waiting" for me.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments! I really appreciate the feedback. This is a hard challenge I think...it's only my second one, but definitely more challenging to come up with ideas than it was for silhouettes.

I've already cropped a bit off the top for #1, so not sure if I can crop more off the bottom. So maybe I'll enter it, but I'll see if I come up with anything else...thanks again! -Kate
