Claire Bemderby njsabsComment: My take is that Weston's portraits aren't very portrait-y. Your shot is a beautiful portrait, but I think misses the Weston flavor. |

Exhaustedby BrianRComment: Is this inspired by Weston? Sorry, I don't see it. That said, I love the shot, very nice! |

Mushroom Blossomby ecmguyComment: Hmm, I think Weston would approve of this image. I am just distracted by the out of focus are on the left of the stem. Not affecting you score I think you have a stray white pixel off on the right. |

Struthiolariidaeby giantmikeComment: I think Weston's images capture more ambiguous or unexplainable motion and contradictory curves in images that are this dark and cropped this tightly. I think a much sharper contrast between the black background the and lightest areas of the shell would make a big difference. |

Moustache Manby ThingFishComment: Maybe I haven't seen enough Weston, but I really think he would have the subject (or at least something) in focus. I do think you nailed the range of darks and lights, though. I also don't think Weston said as much about his subjects as you did with this shot. |

Leavesby colorcarnivalComment: This almost works for me to echo Weston. I feel that maybe it would help if the shot was more tightly cropped, but I'm not sure. |

Man with hatby MikeOComment: Wow, what a striking image! I think you captured the range and balance from black to white in a way that makes me think of Weston. Personally I think this is better than a Weston portrait. So, you lose points for too good of a shot. |

Another shellby kerirabComment: Nice. I love the rich blacks, and although not everything is sharply in focus, I think enough is for it to echo Weston's style. What's missing in my opinion is enough balance between the lights and the darks. Plus the pinpoints of light reflecting off the shell really detract and the Westonness. |
