I am familiar with boats and fishing and water spouts (on Lake Erie). I must say, this is an incredible, super, fantastic shot! Wow! (I still head in when it starts to lightening though.)

Like thunder, and lightning. Or what my head feels like when I forget to take my meds. Like it..

Look at me!

When I think of a portrait, I tend to think of a formal, posed image. But for this challenge, there is the chair, and the person, and his eyes and outfit just ooze something about him. Too bad about the heads on the bottom, in my opinion, but this is still one of my favorites and highest scores in the challenge. Nice.

My mother

My highest scoring photo. I think these are so hard to do. I can't do a good portrait. If there is anything I don't like about it is the glare off of her purse.

chair with girl

WTF?? No, wait... I love a WTF photo. And when I think about the essence of a person... its vague, changing, a compilation of experiences and environment, scary, and a little foggy too. So this one is right on. What's cool here is it is more than just a superb photo of you mother or someone. There are those in this challenge too. (And they are so hard to do well.) So, do really learn something about the girl here? Haha.. of course not. But it is a very good visual definition of the essence of man, I think. By the way, when viewed up close, there is more essence visible. From farther away I just see the girl and the chair.
