Once Upon a Time....

Interesting alley. I like the wood dors and the texture in the buildings. The composition leads the eye to the end of the alley which, unfortunately, is a disappointing finish. Wonder what it would have been like if you'd taken the picture from a few feet to the left allowing the alley to dissolve into black...?

Moody! Nice! This is one image that just wouldn't have the same impact without the grain.

What a toughy! Love this image! The expression on this boy's face is perfect! All the elements that make this a true portrait are there from the blurred background to the tatooed musular arm with the rolled up sleeve! Only quibble, I'd like to see a little more detail in that near shirt sleeve. One of my top pics for the challenge!

Gritty drama! The extreme persepective just adds so much to the story of this image! Love the pose, the attitude, the grain. Only drawback for me is the darkening on the edges of the house and horizon--just a tad too much toward the grunge side. Nonetheless, one of my top pics for the challenge. Good luck!

Wonderful feel to this image! It reminds me of those turn-of-the-century souvenir cards. I could just as easily be the ancient wall in Istanbul. Beautiful rendering of the tones. Composition just sucks me in! Good luck! (One of my top picks for the challenge.)

Lovely graphic! Every reason to be wide-wide-angle and then some!
Sweet image...but, by now I expect you already know that. =)

This looks like the Binghamton University Nature Preserve....What happened to the tree! And why weren't you at the DPC Ithaca Get Together today?
(If this is not the BU preserve and you have no idea what I'm talking about, please forgive me...I'll edit later and give you a proper comment.)

Italian flag?
This image could work, but the red is very strange on my monitor, the lighting a bit too harsh (highlights blown and shadows unhelpful). The idea is there, the execution is lacking.
