Commute

Very good. All those tiles and all that dictatorial geometry. A sign to tell you what's forbidden (but not what's not), mounted over a thing (rubbish bin?) that makes me think instead of a urinal ... and maybe it is? ... there's no sign forbidding that. Rat race indeed. 8.

rising

Comment:
Nice. Very nice. The ascending spirit of the man on the bench is clever, but it's the background details (or lack of details) that I like best. An embrace? A hasty shopper? The wonderful photographer in the window, snapping the lovers. And the ascending man is apart from it all. Above it all. 8.

TALK TO THE HAND

Comment:
I like this a lot. Would that your title was as good as your photograph, but I guess you can't have everything. Anyway, I ignore your title and enjoy his tie instead. 8.

Well, I just like this for its nonconformity. The photograph is deliberately unfinished; nothing is certain. And that lets the viewer into it to wander around and investigate. The guys are wearing work clothes. They're not young guys. They're discussing something. No rush, though ... it's something that requires some measured consideration. As much looking as talking. Are they nurserymen, perhaps? The dog has an injured leg, and so must wear the embarrassing Elizabethan collar. But he doesn't neglect his duties, watching his master's flanks. It's a charming, mature photograph and makes some demands of the viewer. That's the best kind. 9.

It's wonderful. The longer I look the more people I see here. It looks like a collection of these: :-) ;-I 8-O and so on. 7.

Rainy Day Optimists

Comment:
This is fun. I forgive you for the border, especially as you've allowed the tartan umbrella to breach it. 7.

Lost in Time
by Charlene

Comment:
It's an interesting image with a touch of Nighthawks about it, although I do think the illuminated window sign on the right drains it of some of its atmosphere. 7.

Abbazia di Sant'Antimo
by Gordon

Comment:
Beautiful coffee colours. The shapes are suggestive of a path and very comforting. The heavier masses on each side fold together smoothly, and the lighter, nearly invisible shapes seen between them beckon the viewer. The whole effect is of an invitation. I like it. 7.

The Rescuer
by ephesus

Comment:
Great tones. Very strong image made more so by the near anonymity of the man's face. 7.

Peace
by gpgemini

Comment:
These people are soldiers I think. Israeli soldiers perhaps? Maybe something more benign; her nails are not terribly warlike. He has a broken arm with a couple of portraits on the plaster cast. It's a very interesting point-of-view, looking directly down at them this way. I hope to find out more about this picture, later. What kind of Peace, for example. 7.
