Makes me think Jdannels - not sure why. I really, really like it though.

I was playing around with your image earlier and made a very similar edit - crop matches to the millimetre. Granny's Attic??

Looks like the Blue to me. Such precision, I think I might have enjoyed more colour though.

I see you've pulled out the foreground; it's nice to see that detail but the overall appearance in relation to contrast seems diminished to me.

Did you do some sharpening - that adds information and thus size.

It's certainly an enhancement though - much better contrast and colour.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I know this is yours Ben but I'm not going to let that stop me from commenting and scoring. I feel like this is a photo within a photo - the man sat peacefully in the chair, perhaps enjoying the light - that whole quadrant of the image self contained... then we move our eye outwards and the context changes - the darkness has us and the figure on the right take on an ominous presence suggestive of endangerment of the peaceful guy. It's like we're seeing something we shouldn't - a glimpse of a dark sub-strata of life that normally live at the periphery (even blind spot) of or perception and vision.

Critical stuff: Nope

Overall: Perfectly judged.

Positives: Fantastic composition, presentation and coloration - I normally have a real downer on object-based photographs (often a reflexive 1) and those with religious motifs. But I do like this. The symbology, the simplicity and the flat out confidence are all compelling.

Critical stuff: Not really.

Overall: I'm pleased to be surprised that I like this.

Positives: Standout contrast and a really unusual composition - I find this really compelling and highly effective. I'd normally shy away from such extreme highlights and adjacent shadows but you were absolutely right to embrace them.

Critical stuff: Nope

Overall: Outstanding image.
