Is that a reflection of a toilet ??? If so, I'm amused, if not... there is nothing exciting to recommend this photo - it just needs something a little more to elevate it above the realm of the snapshot.

The Highest Authority?

Comment:
I really love the lighting in the bottom left corner, though I find the over exposure in the top right a little off-putting.

I've only voited on a about ten pictures so far but Im pretty sure I'll see that exact title about 8 more times before I'm done. 6. (would ahve been a 7 or eight if youd cropped around the bottom).

Well you have successfully made me laugh outloud, something I didn't exactly think I'd be doing in an authority challenge. Did you use a can opener or something on the lid ??

My Boss

This photo would have done better in the humour challenge, it's not a bad shot... but whether she is your boss or not, there is nothing authoritative about this shot... it merely made me smile.

Focus here is really really off. I do like the title though.

That's a nice floor, though to be honest I don't really get what you are trying to accomplish with this picture. At this point it pretty much just looks like every portable electronic device in your house strewn across your floor....

Just on the off chance that there is some enlightened social commentary behind this Im giving you a 5.

The Lighting here is brilliant, though I find the red tone of the hood a little distracting, pehaps a black sweater next time ?

All the same, a great image...9

Hmmm, don't know why "nice stuff" only earns you a 6.... people are a little unenthusiastic with their grading sometimes.

Anyway, this picture is definately effective in black and white... i really like the effect of the sun shining through the fence, but you are right, the colour does have more impact.

Good work, I like this a lot, especially the fact that your picture actually gains something from the black and white conversion. This is a really interesting perspective on the subject.

Wow, that's an incredibly beautiful moment extremely well captured, normally I think I would find the silhouettes distracting in an image such as this, but here they add an extra element to the shot that serves to set this apart from other, similar shots.

In summary... well done, it's shots like these that really really really make me want to get my ass to iceland one day.
