Love the gritty reality. I really like how the flower tries to add a spot of softness to the harsh scene.

Nice! Love the diamond of light and the processing.

What an image!! A most excellent placement of the pot in the diamond of light. Overwhelming grittiness - as if a pleasant memory was shrouded with misery.

It surely works for me. Perhaps a little too blunt for Ben's style, but a very tragic and endearing image in its own. I suspect the photographer's identity and I just shake his hand.

Ah, just a touch of light to bright out the subject. I like it. (voted earlier)

Love the ray of light on the flower. Truly great shot and the high contrast B/W works great here.

Grit, the play of light, and the near miss of the apparent subject create the balance and tension that is Ben's.

I love that delicate flower, caught in a ray of sunshine, flourishing against the odds of darkness and decay all around.

I like the harsh contrasts. Maybe not a typical blur shot he would do, but mostly certainly one of his other styles. I like it. Your placement and composition is spot on. 7
