A Day at the Beach is Good for the Soul

I like the fact that the elements are used here each in a subtle manner, with a good bit of "feel like you are there" punch. The sky is mild, the marbled wood is hot, and the grass, now gone to seed, cascades over the boardwalk like a sunbathing lover's feet- sprawling out into the sand...

Love the intermediate focus, has a fine urban-mystery feel to it; That thing is ready for Indiana Jones, should he dare to venture around the corner...

beautiful shapes, coupled with angelic yellow to pale light, like etchings on heaven's very own gates.

Beautiful light. and to think they are all one organism, perhaps, makes it creepy.

Starry Night
by bobnospum

Comment:
I get the clever starry night concept, but I immediately conjure up Van Gogh, and that was swirly, vivid, and oversaturated, an acid trip of twisted sky pleasure. This is a grainy, pointillism influenced underside of an overpass. It has value for its realist-"art hedged in non-art" ways-but the title sets it up for confusion, setting the bar impossibly high for the merits of the shot- unable to rise all the way to the lofty comparison.

When the postcard announcing Judgement Day is sent, this image, with its vivid yellow oranges and midnight blacks, will be the picture on it, and I won't RSVP...

Dancing In The Street
by gsal

Comment:
It is clear and contrasted for sure, and the expression on the girl, coupled with the odd moves of the person in the foreground, seem to work when wrapped up in the title. Somehow it does not seem "candid enough" it looks too, staged, almost as if you could never be that close to the action, that much in the scene for the subjects not to notice, or perhaps the genious of the shot is that they don't, because you are dancing right along...

You have gotten your Fibonacci on quite well here. There is an upside down Escher feel, and I feel the malevolence of abstract dragons and primordial aggressive nautilus creatures, however, the window in the top right brisk appears unplanned, and hurts the illusion a bit.

The Pavilion

Comment:
So beautiful, dark and chaotic. Very nice detail, and although I am a fan of the combination of green and purple, perhaps a black and white or some monotone would have served you better.
