Great shoot, but not for this challenge

Terrific photograph of two great human subjects. The challenge is a bit of a stretch though. The guitarist is using a capo; maybe he's playing a light chord? 6

Nice take on this challenge. Very imaginative and your composition of the contrasting figures is quite excellent. Perhaps if you had shot a tad bit wider, to put more space between the elderly gentleman's head and the edge of the frame, the image would not be as claustrophobic. Especially given his dozing pose, he really looks cramped :-)

Overall I really like this one and I will score this one an 8.

Stretching it a bit to meet the challenge.

Great use of B&W for this shot. Perspecive from above works well here. So was she scared sitting there? I would be! ((7))

I think the stop-motion on the water works better than the recently popular soft flowing look, adding to the tension and interest in the photo.

Great perspective, nice composition. Would be more impactful if we could see the eyes.

i don't mind heights, but shots like this give me the willies...
very interesting image. i hope this doesn't get overlooked in this monster challenge, and that viewers will give it the time necessary to appreciate it. good luck in this challenge, and in 2005, as well!

At first glance, one doesn't immediately get the sense of perspective here. After looking at this for a while, it really becomes apparent how much distance there is behind her. Quite an optical illusion, given the wide open DOF. Well done.
