Olympus

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: Composition over clarity - I like that. The washed out nature of the contrast, the utterly understated strength of the structure and the (nearly) negative space make for a most effective image.

Critical stuff: Too well balance to suggest any changes - I imagine that if you changed the slightest thing, the whole image would fall apart.

Overall: A stunning example of how an image can be more than the sum of its parts.

Positives: Great sense of texture here and articulation with the world. The marks are almost like a forensics story. I'm also intrigued by how flat it looks - the title implies a 3d structure but I struggle to discern it.

Critical stuff: Minimal in the extreme - I don't think it has enough visual critical mass to get going.

Overall: Bold FS entry.

There's a lovely shot under there but the framing does nothing for me.

Reminds me of a place in Broadway in the Cotswolds.
