Arbus: Man preparing for funeral, N. J., 2006
by posthumous

Comment by Rikki:
Diane Arbus was defiitely known for her old time classic America images. This has the feel but needs just the slight push forward to really make it sing. I suggest cleaning up your props for one thing. The empty hangers in the background, the ties on the left hand side, etc. These all constitute and add to the feel of the photo. Another trick as well is to have your subject placed in the thirds so that there's balance in the asymmetrical qualities of the image. Does that make sense? Good luck.

I can really see the texture of the ground, and i want to solve the mystery of the murder.

Very nice as it maintains the spirit. I would have explored placing the black suit right in the middle hook where the belt is to bring the eyes right back to the subject. Bumping up.

Comment by metoecus:
The relationship to the challenge topic is severely understated, and the bilk of the image is dedicated to uninteresting visual noise. Is this guy trying to find Chit's rake?

Interesting... After reading the "Do you know..." line(s), I'm still left wanting to read the rest of the sign, but find I can't in the image scaled for dpchallenge... would be curious to know what else it says. :-)

I think the idea is there, but the B&W photo takes away from it. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking at and it's so very busy in the photo.

Hands are overexposed so one can't tell what he has. Also, I don't get what the fantasy is here.
