Pulls the eyes outwards in a reverse-cross-eyed fashion. Uncomfortable.

eta: almost works if you let your eyes defocus magic-eye style.

Wow.

mitalapo makes a great observation, but skewsme's is superior, IMO (sorry). I do prefer the browns in yours, though.

cutout nailed it. IMO, this is one of your finer, artier offerings. I'm surprised you didn't get a posthumous comment on it. I really hate the aspect ratio, though.

Very posthumousy, IMO.

To me, this looks like someone trying to emulate cutout...not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

The chair

Comment:
The empty lifeguard station, "no lifeguard on duty" sign, and the deserted beach are just perfect together. The gull (Sara?) is a great addition. Jutilda's right; some more negative space would be nice as it would further emphasize the irony being depicted. The colors and clarity are very atypical of a Whiterook submission. I'm surprised no one complained about the horizon not being perfectly horizontal. All-in-all, it's very nicely done.

Solitude in Stiltsville
by yakatme

Comment:
Since you asked, I personally think it's just a boring, ho-hum image. The architecture of the building and the fact that it is built on stilts in the water is somewhat intriguing. The almost insignificant--based on its size and position--lighthouse does add a little bit. The sky looks like it wants to be interesting, but it just looks a little odd to me. The aspect ratio looks painfully stretched out along the horizontal, and the border does nothing for me. Add to all that the fact that it's in a Free Study where scoring is harsher (from what I've heard, anyway). I sat and looked at it, trying to find a reason to like it (or buy it since that is what you said your goal is), but I couldn’t. It’s basically just a picture of a building.

10 for not pointing your camera at the moon and pressing the shutter release.
