 Shot with noraneko when she was visiting. This is the same ampitheater at Arlington National Cemetery that she used for her Where's Waldo III entry on her last visit last June:


I'm quite pleased with this shot and the score. The woman was just walking down the aisle right as we got onto th edge of the stage, and I quickly snapped her. I did flip it horizontally so the lines would lead from the left to the right.

I think I have been around too long when I start remembering locations. The long figure really gives a good reference to the frame. The contrast are also magnificent. Congrats on the high place, touch field in this challenge.

Crazy wild - leading lines all over the place. I like the title marriage with the image, great catch!

I like the symetetry of the benches but the lines caused by the benches tend to lead my eye away from the lady. I then come back to her thinking she's the subject and my eye again gets drawn away. In the end I'm confused by what the subject is. (did that make sense?)

Great way to use leading lines, very strong composition. Not too sure about the use of bw here, but that's no big deal. 8

I find this image challenges the eye to stay in one place; I dare you to try to look at just the woman with out your jumping around the framed! This is a good thinking and makes it a captivating photo.

Great, wonderful in b/w and with the strong contrast.

Love it. I wish though that the sign (#8??) wasn't in the frame as I think it distracts and the lone interruption would be more impactful.
