"The Great Gatsby" Remembered
by beatabg

Comment:
I like the detail in the image. A couple of things, I think, would have made this a better shot. I don't like the dress. It looks superimposed or something, which I am sure she was wearing a dres...looks doctored up or something. If this was an old lady, she could have been remembering "The Great Gatsby" times. That would have been great. The car unfortunately is not from that time period. I know you could take the translation of the picture and title a few different ways, but...

Wuthering Heights, a dark and ugly place
by Ammie

Comment:
Never read the book, but I do understand that there was a dark and ugly place in the book. Maybe a human element would have made this have more appeal. Maybe some adjustments would have made some things stand out a little more. I know it is the angle, but on the right side of the image, the house looks to be leaning a lot. Maybe find a way to crop it out or recompose the image.

Catch Her in the Rye
by IrvineJames

Comment:
Play on words...get it.

I like the golden look on the right side.
The one major detractor for me is the light spot on her neck. Everytime I look at the image, that is what always catches my attention. Also, her right shoulder is illuminated with her face, but there is not light on her front side. My brain tells me that this is not natural :) The sun is on the backside of her, so obviously you used fill light, but it only hit spots and that takes away from the image.

Cold Comfort Farm - Stella Gibbons
by Stagolee

Comment:
I kind of get a cold feeling from the bottom left of the sky, but the sun shining through and the green don't give me that feeling. I have never read the book, so I don't know if you are just using the title to make "Cold Comfort Farm" or if there is a meaning behind any of the photo. So just going off of the title and the pic, I gave it a 4.

The Snows of Kilimanjaro, by Ernest Hemingway

Nice photo overall. Maybe a tighter crop and some adjustments in the sky colors would have made this a better photo.

'Something Wicked This Way Comes' by Ray Bradbury
by IAmEliKatz

Comment:
The first few time I looked at this, I thought ummm...4 or 5.

I like the crosshatching look in the photo. The image makes it look like the "something wicked" is making a disturbance in the visual perception of the background.

Catcher in the Wry
by daisydavid

Comment:
So I guess catcher in wry would be the wry look on the faces. I personally do not like this image. I am sure there is a reason behind each piece in the image, but it feels very disjointed to me. In my opinion, the composition of the image needs to be changed. I think the lighting of the rye? (only on the top) is good. I don't care for the white guy at the bottom or the reflection of Jimi in the other picture.

Charlotte's Web
by glad2badad

Comment:
Overall the image is just ok. I like the water droplets in the web, and I like the light green and tan colors of the background. The dark green doesn't fit to me. A different angle perhaps would have made the background better.

I would also liked to have seen more detail on that spider.

1984 - George Orwell
by FourPointX

Comment:
Great idea. I like it the way it is, and I don't know if the end of the picture is the end of the racks, but if possible it would have been great to have a different angle and pick up more of the hardware.
