This is hilarious! The grittiness works well with the subject matter. The expression is priceless.

Excellent! I hope you keep the series going. I'm thinking it mmight be better in normal contrast, but I see the style/statement here.

This is crazy great! Love it and , hey , I used to clean houses for a living so I can relate!
02/17/2007 07:18:48 AM
yes this one fits perfect in the morning-shot! very funny!

I like the border too, simple, but different then normal.

I think the whites in the photo are a bit too gray, maybe pop the contrast a bit?

What a wonderful shot to start with, then the processing added to the feel very nicely - love the grain. Nice work!

Like the grainy black and white treatment. You get the message across loud and clear. :) Now.... someone needs to take you out for a night on the town!

This is great. However maybe a slight contrast adjustment. Now it seems really flat for me, I would like to see richer contrasts between the lights and darks. But everything else works very well. Nice job.

great photo

Great photo, the processing is very good as well. Not a big fan of the boarder, it ask for to much attention IMO. 9

Well, I can see that June Cleaver is at it again. Nice job with the B&W and the noise. The crop gives it that old Kodak Instamatic look. 7

Nice use of noise. I feel the bucket is a bit overwhelming.
12/26/2006 11:31:03 AM
Argh, don't I know it! Nice one with the grain looks great :)

Tee hee. . .and yet another day in paradise, eh?? Judy!!! You are a freaking GENIUS!!!!! What can I say! There ought to be some photos where you are allowed to give a 20! This would be one of them for me! But I guess a 10 will have to do! 10!!!

So how much to hire you to do my floors? Great shot Judy. The b&w and noise add to the feel of desperation and boredom. Hope this does well for you. Bumping up to 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/25/2006 04:08:40 AM
Great shot and a priceless facial expression! Smudgy border and grainy texture work so well on this. Great title. Nicely done. Back to bump you up to 8.
