I find it interesting to see how your new mood and tone are reflected in your shots (since you moved). I like this dark, artsy feel. Your silhouette is very strong - she looks almost like a cutout against the bright light. What does your title mean?

Darker would work.

Intersting shot... good silhouette, and has a very alternative feel to it.

Nice moody image. I like the contrasts and simplicity of this composition. Nice processing.

Nice silhouette - and interesting, I'm trying to decide if she's just come up or is about to go down.

Interesting composition, This is different and refreshing to see.

Good silhoette and figure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2009 10:24:51 AM
I like the silhouette but find the brickwork a bit too string as it takes away from the person
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I had a very strange experience listening to Massive Attacks song Angel and the bizar effect that had when I was voting on a photo of a cute cat. Still listening to the song, and I must say it gave this photo a very strong effect. To cut things short, I liked it very much.

hm i would like this but in my opinion that wall on the left side is senseless, and then it'd better in portrait format (that how i would like it better ;)

I still give just 4 , sorry

;D regards

Strong silhouette.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:06:51 PM
An eerie take ... love the high contrast
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:48:06 PM
Love the implied, but invisible steps, and the success of reaching the top, amidst a colorless, cold world.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:49:28 PM
this shot really leaves you thinking, nice work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:02:30 PM
Great composition and high contrast. Very well executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:57:09 AM
Interesting how this image transitions from greyscale tones into a pure b/w. I'm not sure what the message is, but the impression given by the title was this may be a scene viewed through the eyes of a rapist. It's kind of creepy. I am very curious what your intended message was.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:06:00 AM
A high contrast graphic shot, a bit abstract too. Good shapes and lines.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:45:59 AM
good pov, the silhouette is bit indistinct though, imo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:05:37 PM
The heavy contrast makes this a story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:08:52 PM
loooooooove this. Perfectly black and white and contrasty. 10 and a fave. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:37:58 PM
nice tho not a lot of interesting matter
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:27:34 PM
Harsh but it really works here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:51:32 AM
very graphic , I am not sure this will appeal to the masses.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:14:44 PM
wonderful graphic feel here 9

Beautiful chiaroscuro Rohrschach linoleum tile. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:38:23 AM
love this. think the fading white wall compliments the black wall well. figure in a good position and silhouette works. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:10:08 AM
i really like how you are playing with the black and white, the contrast makes me wanna go inside the picture 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:34:01 AM
Nice comp and framing of your subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:27:23 AM
Very ominous.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:34:43 AM
I like how the frame is divided in two main sections; light on the left, dark on the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:58:35 AM
Good contrast. The wall texture enhances the shot a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:37:32 PM
Mysterious picture and the title makes it even more so - bit like stalking. Well done :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:06:25 PM
The edges are a little aliased, but the high contrast works interestingly with this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:08:50 PM
These are the type of photos I try to take.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:01:54 PM
interesting B&W, like how she's walking out into the light
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:21:19 PM
Nice silhouette. Tells a nice story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:39:20 AM
Kind of creepy. Good use of lines to draw out the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:31:41 AM
I love the composition & the tones in this image. To me, it's a shame that the edges on the woman are a bit jagged, but I'm sure that's a function of the small pixel size allowed here. Great image!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:21:51 AM
don't mind the high contrast. the wall at left contains too many tones compared to the rest of the image, though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:42:42 PM
Dark mood to this one. Feels like a stranger is watching her.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:58:19 PM
Love this. Love the blown out look. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:39:52 PM
Interesting use of the harsh b/w contrast compared to the range of grays.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:29:09 PM
Very powerful shapes here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:19:08 AM
Just a bit too contrasty for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:41:23 AM
beautiful -9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:43:29 AM
great silhouette very thoughtful image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:37:14 AM
this makes me feel like I'm part of the shot and I've been cast aside
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 10:14:20 PM
I'm sure this will get voted down because high key is just not appreciated on here (ask me - I know!).. but I LOVE this.. so a big fat 9 for you!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 09:08:59 PM
Stark and artful. :~)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 08:51:30 PM
I think this shot would work a little bit better if the highlights weren't so hot on the left side. The rest of the contrast works well with the silhouette.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 08:33:45 PM
interesting to say the least, but still lacks something.
