Upon my first cursory look at the entries I broke into laughter upon seeing this fine image and figured it would end up amongst the top entries. Fine work, my friend. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Cole,

Well done on the 7th place. I always find it difficult to critique your shots as they are always technically excellent, and often clever. What can I say - I like it.

I like what you have doen to make use of the strong, heavy shadows. I guess the construction site anf pipe really needed conversion to greyscale. Nonetheless, you've done an excellent job kof bringing out the detail. Well done.

BTW - that sure doen't look comfortable for your wife.

It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.

Cheers
Paul

Hehe, cool idea! The selective desat works extremely well for it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/20/2007 05:43:05 AM
This one made me laugh!! Great humor, and a great pic to boot! Exellent use of selective desat, the shadow inside the pipe creates a "just right" spot for placing text. Very good, one of the best in the challenge.

 05/19/2007 10:56:04 PM
Oh, I think you used the shadow as part of your text layout? That's awesome!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

:-) That one is great!!!! Very cute and creative!

Great idea, looks like you'd have no problem competing the selective desaturation challenge :), great work here, 9.

The name of this band was no marketing gimmick. Tad and Lu were exhibitionists to the core. Their fondness for onstage shenanigans ended tragically, though, when they short-circuited an electric guitar.

Haha, interesting picture. What an odd juxtaposition of those soft, warm bodies and that harsh, hard concrete! The selective desat works well too.
