Same Idea / Different Approach

This is an image that I found appealing on both an intellectual and graphic level - and you deserve more congratulations than this meagre score and a few rushed comments (well, you got three appreciative ones nevertheless). I rather like the way your photography seems to be heading, and will try to keep an eye on future work. Thanks for this one.

By streets the best image in this challenge; please win, it might restore a little faith in this place.

Oh, how we miss him...

The hand! Very strange, comes out like some stencilled addition. Quite haunting, thuogh it might possibly have been given greater prominence in frame. My real problem with this image is that its a simple framing of a simple stone, and the additions are only of stuff, rather than of photographic consideration - what might have been had you chosen not to fill your viewfinder with the stone, but considered the environment also?

I wonder if this is actually in the right challenge - although given the difficulty of interpretation of this one - how one photographs something that isn't there - I have to presume you mean it. Missing, simply? There's a sense of yearning, certainly. In such a considered image, the vertical distortion - the converging lines, is distracting in tat one expects the flowers to be falling over.

Last stop

I wonder if the point at which those rails vanish mightn't have been slightly more strongly placed in frame? The feeling is that you lead the eye out of frame, rather than capturing the attention. I like the handling of light, and the sense of shape.

People of the Forest

Comment:
Whilst possibly a fairly obvious subject, it is nevertheless well photographed - and it isn't as obvious as the majority of shots in this one. Perhaps a little clarification might have helped - there isn't quite the detail one would hope to see in the hair, I think.

Off to Work, Stay to Play

Comment:
The parallele deep blackness of the child's balloon and the ball and chain perhaps make a connection you didn't intend: at least, I can't imagine a slightly soft focus image here genuinely meaning to attest to some form of post-natal depression, or making some comment on motherhood's restrictions on career. There's something, in the nolder woman's look, that is also quite threatening; all in all, quite a sinister image, really.

I thought they were near inextricable, as opposed to opposed. Still.

I suspect your message may be a little obtuse for many - I hope I'm wrong. I like the parallels - the highs and lows of the wave of horizon framing the parallel points of the subjects; also like the reliance on the smallest possible details to carry the message - gives us some idea of a sense of futility in both these aspirations.

War and peace

Comment:
A little blatant, and the angularity seems forced, and removes a sense of connection between the two elements to my eye. Almost like a pastiche image, rather than a single unity. Decent studio execution, if a bit flat on the lighting.
