Would've been good material for the upcoming Portrait challenge as well : )

The high-contrast is definitely a compositional element in itself. Well done, good kitty!

Nice comparison of archaic and modern weaponry : )

Stately Columns
by Tammer

Comment:
Perspectives make the columns look like they're leaning ... a rotation of about 1.3 degrees CCW would help that -- to me, it's a more prominent compositional line than the horizon line.

Vertigo

I like the unusual angle/framing -- I might have tried to crop it to an exact square.

Grande Finalé

Originally posted by RinkRat: A little more noise than I care for, and I think the hand on the wrong side of the shower bugs me a bit. Great concept.

Thanks everyone -- lots of interesting/fun comments!

This one highlights my biggest problem with the set-up: how to shoot at this angle without the camera being right in the stream of water, so I decided the "finalé" would occur just as the person stepped out of the shower.

I agree having a little more arm showing would be good, but this was the best of the lot -- all shot handheld -- that I could get with the showerhead a little in-focus. Low light created the grain to start with, so I just accentuated it -- to me, the effect rather resembles a mezzotint

High Note

That's quite some note-bending ... I use extra-light gauge strings myself.
