I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: An unusual image to take and therein lies its appeal - lives in the moment, a fragment of time from a very specific and under explored perspective. The bizarreness of the exhibit should dominate but the intimate portrait of the viewer is what grabs the eye - I like that.

Critical stuff: perhaps the colour saturation is a little high - I wonder how a slightly softer feel might look.

Overall: A highly unusual choice / viewpoint - I really like that.

Positives: What a great silhouette and the ambiguity of the animal works really well. I really like the straightness of the edge - a wall? A roofline? Not knowing adds drama. I like the clouds too and how oppressive your treatment has made them become.

Critical stuff: The vignette will be a little strong for some.

Overall: I find this to be very effective.

Positives: Very nice vintage feel to the colours here, great light too. For some reason I'm particularly fond of the back of that chair - something slightly HDRish about it. I also like how minimalist the pallete is - just red and blue with the barest hint of yellow.

Critical stuff: Not sure about the Dutch angle, it feels a bit contrived for an image as honest as this.

Overall: Deceptively powerful - I like it.

Positives: Such depth to this image; a marvellous background with a compelling foregrounds. So many things to pick out as the eye moves from the front to the back of the image. I love the colour too - especially in the room the man is in. Funnily - the man in the room with his tie with the French context makes me think of 'Gyaban in a secret studio!'

Critical stuff: perhaps some darkening of the sky might have worked to give some added perceived vibrancy to the cityscape...?

Overall: Great image, full of mystery and voyeuristic interest.

Shame about the sky. The rest is wonderful. Cropping just above the hill top would transform the image.

Well deserved Robert - the synergy of image and grain is excellent.
