There are quality issues with this - for all the world, it looks like a 100% crop out of camera. I like the tonality of it, and kind of like the odd angel you've presented. But it lacks the detail, or sense of detail.

The Civil Rights Memorial: How Far We've Come -- How Far We Have to Go

Complex, emotional, and realistic. Those dates encompass my birthday, as they encompass, of course, the 'summer of love', ironically enough. Strong subject, and I wish you a better score than I'm sure you'll get.

There are a number of things I like about this: that sense of soft-focus, which chimes with a common perception of 'old' photography; a strong sense of the textures and details produced by ageing; strong compositional principles, and a strong balance of interest. Wha it communicates to me - and what, I'm afraid, i don't like about it - is that there's some kind of glory in that previous age, that its decay and left-overs, that so blight our present (and to be fair, that our present is currently bequeathing to our future), is really rather pretty and lovely, rather than sinister and regrettable, which to my mind is the more apt reaction. Great shot, with that reservation.

Engulf the pipe

Good subject. The presentation of it is reminiscent of some of the modern 'suburban' school of photography (my term) - those guys who are using the colour scemes and 'simplistic' methodology of the 1970's snp-shot: on-board flash, heavy saturation, disdain for some rules. I like the metallicism of the tap, the reds and browns in the tree ... but its not a school of photography that particularly appeals to me, I'm afraid.

Good subject, without doubt. Your photograph - well, it's almost hyper-documentary in style - it is, to me, more about a simple capture of the entirety of the truck and its location, including as much detail as possible, than it is about communicating anything of your own feeling about it. That may well be your choice - inwhich case you've absolutely achieved it - but perhaps it is not the way to score well here. All the technical detail is there, but I would have preferred more of an attitude to be taken to it, rather than this simple representation.

The 8th Hour

Almost non-pnotographic in its quality. The overlap of the hour hand is intriguing. I like it, I like the bordering and presentation generally. Neat, and controlled.

Overpass

The light trails, compositionally are strong; I'm not sure about the other lights around - they seem to clutter what might be stronger for being a very simple image.

It feels that you've placed your focal plane too far into the image: surely the focus should be more strongly on the ice and drop, whereas it seems to be behind it to my eye.

Crazy. Don't know what else to say. Hate the direct flash, composition and idea just bizarre :-)

Patience is a Virtue

What a wondefully strange, marvellous image. I really wish the side of that bag wasn't so far over-exposed. Great sense of the ordinary, beautifully communicated in the absolutely 'normal' colour palette you've used. Everso expressive - very strong work. I hope others understand it, or at least give it the time.
