Deforming Parallax Conundrumby Ecce_SignumComment: Well, I love the subject, the point-of-view, the terrific tonal range & treatment, and the processing. Plus of course the splendid title. It's a science-fiction movie, set in a mining community on a distant asteroid or moon, and I'd be unlikely to see it. I'd try to souvenir one of the posters, though. 8. |

Duck Pond Chaosby trainComment: Fabulous light. There's plenty more to like about it, too, but the use of light is worth a 7 on its own.
Nah ... rethink: 8. I'm not so sure I'd sit through the whole movie, though, unless you gave free popcorn too? |

DeVille Prison Cityby tonyvComment: Yes. Very, very good. I suppose the whole background is desat? Oddly enough, it doesn't at first seem so. It's an attention-grabbing image, and should be a good movie. I'll see it. 8. |

Dirty Pretty Crimeby bucketComment: Very nice photograph; lighting, composition, framing, exposure, processing - all the technicals are excellent. Also good juxtaposition of the luminous and pretty young girl with the dark and gnarly old structure. If the movie's as interesting as the poster, I'll buy a ticket. 7. |

delicate, precision & classby focus57Comment: It's hard for me to be objective about a style of photography that I know nothing about (and don't care to), but this is clearly technically very fine work. The faint drop-shadow about her outline is odd, but given the evident care that has gone into making this image I suppose it was deliberate. 7. |

Darkly Portentious Catby redmoonComment: Love this. The light and the tonal range are terrific. Cat looks suitably ominous. The histogram (I had to take a peek) is fun. I'd probably like this movie. 7. |

Darling Pavlova's Confessionsby AnastasiaComment: I suppose this is a technically perfect portrait in the "formal-informal" style so beloved of royalty, admirals, actors and the old aristocracy. It's not a genre that appeals to me, but even we artistic primitives can recognise that this is a beautifully executed photograph. Maybe the rear leg looks a little inelegant and incongruous ... like it belongs to someone else (a rugby player, perhaps), in which case I like the image a little more. 7. |

Darkness Permeates Chicagoby strangeghostComment: Nice viewpoint; your apartment balcony? It's really very good. I especially like the compression of the streets, as if people and cars would hardly fit in between the buildings. The brilliant green light on the tower anchors everything and prevents the otherwise-compressed scene from looking two dimensional. 7. |

Driving Pass Carmenby kmbr2001Comment: I like this, and that worries me because I really don't like selective desaturation. So maybe liking it is like catching yourself humming an Abba song; embarrassing. So I tried it in full mono, and the awful truth is that your selective desat really did work. But I will convince myself that you could have achieved the same effect with dodge & burn or some other "legitimate" means. The idea, the composition and the actual photograph are all terrific, but I am determined to dislike the processing. Especially as I am now humming that bloody awful "Mama Mia". BTW, maybe you meant "Driving Past Carmen" but I hope not. 7. |

Dark Princess Castleby arnitComment: Is this a catwalk shot? I guess it must be; she looks like she is wearing a giant vegetable. But it's an interesting photograph, especially as the unconventional positioning of the subject in the frame establishes a slightly uneasy, dischordant feel. That, and the confrontational stance and visage of the model, demands the viewer's attention. 7. |
