The repititous nature of all these people doing the same thing is great. The center path leads the eye completely through the photo - it's nice. Lovely photo.

Hi Christina, A nice capture of the daily life down the street. I like your PoV to have the line up well captured. It is fun to see that everyone has a different sincerity and explanation to this exercise. An excellent shot.

Hi Christina,
Happy 100th picture. Its quite a rite of passage here the 100th picture. I like the perspective given by the lineup of people doing their excersises and how some look more concentrated than others. I wonder if a little increase in saturatio would give it more life.
Cheers
Daniel
