I'd like to see a picture of those brand-new boots come next New Years :)

Way to go! Looks like a long-hauler, there. Trek pretty far?

discarded cauliflower stalk

I loved it. There's something strangely seductive about this image, I feel "invited" into the white area, and that I will be carressed by soft folds on my way there. Weird, because cauliflower isn't particularly soft :) funny what light can do to things . . .

Even though I understand that photography can be a tool for increasing awareness by pinpointing problems etc. etc. it just irks me when I see pictures of homeless people in crappy situations taken by cameras that probably cost more than that person will see in a year. Often those images are pawned off as "art" instead of "photojournalism" (i know, fine line, but generally serve different purposes) and the photographer profits whilst the "subject-turned-object" never sees a dime, if they were even asked permission of. To form a rebuttle against myself, maybe I should have slowed down to gather the context and intent of the image instead of immediately eschewing it as I did. Short-tempered shallow-mindedness? I've been guilty before.

Edit Seeing as there is a great deal of conversation about this piece, one would be forced to admit that your image has definately made an social impact as the subject mattter is the focus of discussion vs. the subject himself. Therefore, good job.

Even though I gave this a (somewhat) low mark, I kinda agree with RianBotes. This isn't a BAD picture by any means, it just didn't appeal to ME, I was pretty sure many others would have liked it, though. I'm often torn on how to vote on pictures that are good but don't touch me, should I vote only for how I feel or should I take a more technical approach? Fickle voter base!

Why the obsession with pink? There's a good picture here, dammit! btw, leave a red cup out in the sun for a few weeks, see what happens to it :)

I'm surprised to see this so low, such deep colors and an interesting layout of an "exotic" fruit. Nice.

It's not solitude. It's about being unique.

I love the way the flower doesn't "face" us, almost seems haughty/pouty and I can imagine a little "hmph" at the end of your title :)

In a "Calvin and Hobbes" cartoon, Calvin asks his dad about b+w pictures. Dad tells him that the world used to be black and white. When confronted with the fact that the b+w pictures didn't change with the rest of the world, Dad replies "that's because they were color pictures of a black and white world." This was great, forces us to think about what color is and means.
