Tybee Light

I think ho-hum to the topic but as I don't see much support to the "authority" of the U.S. flag from the "authority" of an even taller light house. Perhaps if we had a U.S. Flag next to some kind of figure or symbol of authority it would come off with more impact.

Tattered but True-My Father's Authority

Striking image...lots of mood from the play of the lighting, worn book, and it's just simply well done. Certainly the source of authority for those that worship from these pages.

Wish there was a sad face in that top window...needs something...even a colored ribbon hanging from one of the bars...not much for the human brain to digest here.

Don't ask..Don't Tell..Don't get it? Is there some fine print in the sign I can't read, that make the title more clear to the viewer? DOn't know...

To me this is just funny portrait, an overexposed one at that. I really don't feel the authority emotion...but I think it is fun to look at.

people vs authority
by akyros

Comment:
Greatly lacking visual impact...does show a street situation that could lead to some kind of great photo...but the camera position looks way too "safe." "Safe" meaning far away, no real expressionscaptured, no real action...just a milling crowd.

Insert donut and I'd see some authority here. Does the shape of his head suggest years of enjoying donuts? Authority = donuts? Plump faced cops just don't give me much citizen comfort. I do like the inclusion of the U.S. flag, supurb depth of field. I think the lighting is rather flat for a male "authority" figure. I also like the fact the subject is looking directly into the lens.

What is that bright spot above the extended hand? A fire fly? I mean, what is it? I'm hoping this point of light isn't some famous statue feature that I haven't been aware of! :::blush:::
