Of all the flower shots I don't like, this isn't one of them. Not even close.

Yes it's funny and clever. And the title is a very entertaining clue.

I agree with the 'excellent' part, but if I had this I'd like a quite small framed print, no bigger than it appears here ... to force the viewer to get up real close to look at it. I think it's a very intimate, one-on-one image.

It makes me sad. I'm looking for someone and he is not there. Never will be there again.

It's good, but the Street Pinhole is sublime. This is an 8; the pinhole is a 10.5 for me.

This is seriously good. It's really quite perfectly composed, including the distribution of the people. There's a terrific horizontal layering effect of light-dark-medium tones. And the acid is not too heavy, which was a good decision.

I am so much more enchanted by these photographs where I have to meet the photographer half way. And enchanted longer, too ... I can look at stuff like this for ages and just slowly absorb all it has to give. Perhaps these uncertain, ambiguous, unfinished photographs are actually the 'poetry' branch of photography.

Scooter

Those scooters always look comical to me, like a monkey balancing on a peanut. Maybe a big ol' set of "ape hanger" bars would add a touch of gravitas? Or a small-block V8 and a fat rear tire?

You must seek help. There's no shame in it these days. And the newest drugs are amazing. Or is that the problem to begin with?

I always like window shots. Light, obviously, but there's something else. Two worlds meet at every window.

The non-traditional composition is really effective here. Good thinking + bold execution = good photograph. 8.
