Wonderful texture of your box. I like the off kilter angle and the missing left side swallowed in black shadow. Not your everyday ho hum composition. Good B&W photo illustration. Honest solid accomplished ork.

A minor hot highlight for nitpickers to banter about. Otherwise a good solid shot of the chosen subject. Fits the challenge. Clean ,simple ,cool. Your technique is down pat. Deserves a reasonable amount of positive attention from other voters. Good luck.

I like the presentation of floating in black space and the solid rock feel of the platform. Lots of dark shadows that are eating up edge bits. That may bother some but not me. The mysterious feel is way kool. The zap of red zings up the photo nicely. The mirrors are a great idea. Interesting portrayal of subject.

Whoa! What a huge effort to plan and execute this dazzling masterpiece. You better be a top 3 winner for that alone. Technique is impeccable ( focus, composition, DOF, color rendition, lighting angle, etc). Personally I would like a little more silver feel to the cutlery. Some folks might like plain placemats as opposed to the razzle dazzle color. Just two minor quibbles easily ignored. Good luck on racking up the big score.

Holy zappola look at those colors Batman. Snap on the shades to take in all that ultra glo. Pretty intense hues countered by a mysterious dangling shadowed manbit. A big score for the intense graphic and suck your lungs clean dry of air color. Looks like a top 20 score this week to me. Let the drama unfold.

Reminds me of morning eyelids prior to coffee invigoration. The easy on the eyes tones jive well. I like your choice of tree lines and shadows to break up the rectangular nature of the shot. The dead leaves at the bottom add a pleasant softening touch to the chunky nature of the bricks. The bits of gray shingles and eaves shadow cap off the photo nicely. A fairly worthy shot deeming additional positive remarks.

Cool boxed in world concept. I like it. My sentiments exactly of crushed in urban crunch. The zing of red adds vibrant life ands nicely contrasts to the torment of vertical and horizontal elements. The brutal ominous shadows surely add to the claustrophobic feel. Excellent foto!

Dry Docked on the Bathroom Floor

This is among my favorite three images for this week. Thank you for daring to venture into candid informal territory. Absolutely wonderful personable family mood. A priceless moment that to me blows away any studio shot here. This image has real value and staying power to me. It brings out the longings of childhood and rekindles family memories. A very powerful emotional image that should strike a heart chord in everyone. Even if the photo was dismal technically I still would rate it high because of its extraordinary moment of casual humanity. But the foto is very competent by all other photographic measures, too. Focus, exposure, choice of B&W, tonal rendition, composition, you name it...near perfection in a nutshell. I really really love the feel of roundness and contours in the skin tones and their contrast to the water ripples and tub. You should be very pleased with this photoghaph no matter what the rating. No master photographer could do better. Hope many others rave madly about the foto too. Good luck

Fantastic foto!!! Very original concept which deserves extra points in its own right. The unusual pose, contrast of hairy legs with the rounded shading of arms, the crossed wrists, wrinkled cloth backdrop are particularly outstanding visual elements. B&W was undoubtably the wisest choice. Beautiful rendered tones and minute detail. Gets a 9 vote from me... and certainly worthy of at least that from many others. Excellent work!!!

Very funny! Good simple graphic shot. Concept executed well. The tire texture and very bright pavement dominate the image. Overcast or shadow conditions would yield less harsh tones and allow more visual voice to the sign perhaps ( just a thought ). Nice shot.
