I absolutely loved this (I was one of your two tens). The strong graphic lines, the deep blacks, the "mirror" of light and dark -- it was great. I almost left the comment, "Perfect" while voting but was afraid it would seem presumptious. However, now that I see you were robbed, I will say it. I think this shot is perfect -- it evokes that "I'm afraid even though there is nothing to be afraid of" feeling in me.

What I notice first is the incredible amount of black 'whitespace' in the image. However one aspect I can say I enjoy about it is the way the shadows of the railing nearly line up perfectly with the railing itself.
The black sky and railings I like, however what I believe to be the downfall of the image is the complete lack of hints/detail within the bottom area. I can see the table umbrella, however it could also easily be a man/woman in an over coat. It could also be a rocket ship or a jacket on a coat rack or even a cowboy wearing a duster.
The ball on the 'banister end for lack of a better term' seems to be out of place or just abstractly there.
Now with the very small amounts of highlights here and there it makes for this area of the image to be very confusing and very unappealing. To me, I would much rather have a 'hint' of detail than complete lack of with only specks to show something may or maynot be there.
I do enjoy the high contrast nature of the walls/railing against the black sky/shadow. However the dark edge of the building and the mystery specks just don't do it for me. Now I sound like I am repeating myself L()L.
I keep wanting to look deeper and figure out what everything is. From what I can see the specked area is obviously a tree, though it seems to have lights or glitter on it. The line between the tree and umbrella is an indoor florescent tube. The far right is foliage that got in the image with light on it. The white square to me seems like it was an opening or hole in the wall where light went through and hit the other wall.
Over all I really enjoy the concept and contrast, just wish there was a bit more underneath.

| Such a dark picture, and I don't necessarily mean the colors. Great contrasts. I feel like there's an interesting story here. |
