1. Another excellent shot - the empty chair makes this for me.

2. love this shot and I see this is the same street where you captured the woman who was balancing lots of pita bread on her head. Love your composition. He seems oblivious of everything around him including the fact that he is being watched. very nice. Thanks for showing us around Cairo :)

3. This is good! Like the runners-up too. Perhaps even better.

4. he looks like he's concentrating hard - on his balance perhaps ? like the mono :-)

5. Thanks for your comment: I think my "cyclist" would gladly exchange places with yours.
   As usual your shot is perfect: the moving part of the picture with the man on the bicycle and the other virtual half of the shot with static element like the chair.. beautifully captured!
   As for the recycling thing... I wrote about glass, paper and average recyclable items, but as in Cairo also in Shanghai EVERYTHING sellable is a target, even restaurant waste!

6. Wonderful comp! I love those cobbled streets. As with Blob, the empty chair against the wooden doors is it for me! Fantastic blip!

7. I love how the right side of the photo has such movement with the bicyclist and people walking on the street. Then you move to the left and the empty chair sits...waiting...perhaps it will be used soon by someone needing a little rest? A great capture, lovely in b&w!
