And Falls

Comment:
true, some darkening of the rocks in the lower right might benefit here (although I wonder if that's possible, as it looks like some of them are completely blown out). i like the choice here to freeze the water, rather than applying a long exposure. not only because it prevents the model from becoming blurred, but it also depicts an 'exact' moment in time. if you had motion blurred it, it would convey a very different message.. motion blurring water is over-rated!

i love the interplay of the shadows, which you obviously also appreciated considering the title. they all pair in a wonderful manner with the real letter. i perhaps wonder how it might look if you cropped more tightly around the words, since the rest only seems to detract from [what I consider] the main subject.

haha - just came back for a look and i see the face! this would have been an interesting entry for the hidden faces challenge.. now i have a feeling i need to find a real 'found' face for my entry rather than something i arranged myself.

sort of wish both pencils were sharp and (as unrealsitic of a request it may be) that the wood was smoother. good color rendition and focus though.

nice execution.

funny, the other pianissimo showed up right before this one.

Tainted Love

Comment:
great choice for the word. wish there was some way to do this without showing the table, or at a different angle (maybe a diff dictionary would have provided this possibility). good shot, still.

Broken Love
by Gauti

Comment:
the upside down orientation makes it a little harder to notice the highlighting of the word love. interesting choice on the broken filter, however.
