Excellent capture. I wish I could hear the conversation going on.

I like this one a lot. I'm wavering back and forth on whether I like the bench centered, but since I like the panoramic look created by the current crop I guess I like it. The symbolism of the old men in their "autumn" years is unmistakable. Nicely done.

After reading the other comments, I have to disagree with DtheShadowman. I think having the basketball hoop in focus gives the old men in the foreground an appropriate setting. I can almost hear them talking.
"Look how fast that Smith kid is. He's going to be even better than his daddy was."
"Jones is much better on defense though. Reminds me of your boy."
"Too bad my kid couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Kinda like his old man."

This is a tough one, I like the idea. It's just the impact is so low because of the lighting...Maybe a little tighter, maybe a little more work in curves?

I like this a lot.

I really like the mood in this shot. I can see a story there.

This is like the end shot of a movie about 3 old friends or something. I would have brightened it a little or upped the exposure, but then that grey sky is also telling a story.

I do like this image a lot, but there are a few things I would have changed. The two major ones being the centering of the trees/bench and the background (although I bet this was a candid shot) where maybe a lower F stop would have helped a bit to diffuse the basketball hoop and people.
I do like the short cropping, the subject and the coloring is quite moody..
