I love the concept and tonality of this image. I do feel it would be strengthened if it was cropped to move the light to the right and up a bit and then to remove some off the bottom of the image. This would push the light to about a third in from the right and about a third from the top which I think would enhance the mood produced by the image. Having said that, I love the simplicity and style of this image. Its amazingly evocative. Good Luck with the challenge.

Another beautiful day at work

The title of this image really sets a great tone for interpreting the image. The light really does make the mundane task look almost peaceful and joyful. I love the way that the main subject, the man, is on the dividing line between dark and light. The muted colours add to the "delicacy" of the image and the light catching the broom handle all the way along strengthens the composition so much. Beautiful.

This image speaks to me of silent or passive energy. The lighting highlights his face perfectly and the harsh light at the bottom adds to the power of the image. It would make a good cover image for a book on The Tao or something like that. The duotone really enhances the impact of the lighting. The more I write the more I like it. Good Luck.

Wow. Very immersive. You'll probably get comments on technical issues such as focus but it works for me regardless. The black and white was a great idea. Truely inspired. The title tops it off. Good Luck.

Brilliant. It has an esoteric feel about it. Simple elegance. Into the favourites it goes.

Come As You Are

Beautiful. Masterful use of light. The composition is dramatic and powerful. The two black dots in the white space are unfortunate. Really they just highlight how dramatic the image is.

Beautiful image. One of the most dramatic uses of depth of field I've ever seen. The composition really enhances the subject matter and the colours are very dramatic also. The more I look at it the more it intrigues me. It goes beyond words. Beautiful.

I believe that this is the best of the flag images from this challenge. (I haven't seen any other flag apart from the USA so far). The title and the overbearing nature of the composition create a dramatic impact. Its not hard to imagine this on the cover of an edition of "TIME" magazine or something similar.

This is one of the more subtle interpretations of the theme. Its a beautiful image. The colouring and lighting enhance the mood of the scene. This image would not look out of place on the wall of an Italian restaurant. Good Luck.

I love the atmosphere generated by this image. Its got a Gothic or Victorian era type feel. Off the top of my head it brings up memories of stories like "Wuthering Heights" or "Jane Eyre." The composition, noise and slight blur all add to the atmosphere of the image. Also the conversion to black and white has been beautifully done. Good Luck with the challenge.
