Thank you! Though it was a bit disheartening/nerve-racking to see my score free fall over the last day or so. I look forward to getting a detailed critique from the DPC critic gurus.

Sort of. It is some installation art hanging off the glass ceiling at the Museum of Fine Arts. Great museum, BTW. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Boston.

Provocative and edgy. Nicely done. Love the hotspot behind the model. Good job.

Great lines and super sky -- nicely converted to B&W. I love the contrast between the rural farm path and the high tech bridge. Well done.

Taking the inside track

Very nice picture. The lines draw me throughout the photo, to the child, and then beyond. However, I haven't a clue to what's just beyond the frame. This is both good and unsatisfying.

Nice capture, lovely lines. Perhaps it could be even more powerful if you had some (in a car or on a horse) arrive or leaving in the distance down the road, since that's where my eyes go.

Very fine portrait,however, I don't see how you are using leading lines to thematically emphasize the subject's face. Beautiful capture, however.

Wonderful moment, wonderful tension drawn by the leading line. I only wish I knew what the person in the background was up to and why he/she is in the picture.

...The Line Of Duty

Great photograph. Wonderful yet stark balance. I think the only thing that I could suggest to add would, perhaps, be a lone figure --a widow?-- kneeling in front of one of the gravestones in the distance, perhaps near the end of the leading lines. This would make it a very powerful human image.

Winter Aspen

Nice winter country scene. It might be a bit stronger if it featured just a single goose that was more clearly defined.
