Of course he doesn't have kids ... look at his profile, read his comments; he is a kid.

Underestimated and misunderstood. Including by the photographer.

Private Thoughts

A very fine, evocative image. The composition is really very, very good. The thing I like best about this work is that you obviously knew what you had here, and so you excluded everything that wasn't it! The photograph is all the more powerful for that decision. 9.

This is a beautiful, artistic image. This is almost certainly not what you were intending, but I can't help seeing it as a Pink Floyd album cover. It has the same stark, simple yet deeply layered quality as the best of their music. 9.

Interesting how the most prosaic of subjects and the simplest of set-ups can result in a memorable and powerful image if (but only if) the original idea is a worthy one, clearly expressed and sympathetically executed. This is one of those! 9.

A very appealing photograph; interesting in spite of its apparent simplicity. 8.

A memorable, elegant photograph - brilliant composition and processing. And all of the comparitively spectacular major structural elements nevertheless play only a supporting role to the tiny, distant human figure! This is a confident and instructive work. 10.

I love the somehow sci-fi feel of this shot, and also the sparse composition. One of the rare occasions in 'street photography' when the addition of a human figure would actually detract from the impact of the photograph. 8.

The great quality of this for me is its very cleverly disguised complexity. First glance shows a very fine, contemporary-looking glamour shot of an appealing model. Second examination, however, reveals a sly quality of subtle parody about the main subject. Her pose, her facial expression, and even her odd wristband all suggest a whiff of satire. Then there's the sharp and confident composition, which once again turns out to be only the surface layer ... beneath it lie some wicked little details, such as the reflected legs and the puzzlingly impossible 'reflected' multiple images of the model. The lighting and the processing are terrific, too ... just bold enough to be avant-garde, but not so over-the-top as to become surreal. I think this is the most artistically ambitious and the most intellectually challenging image in the challenge, and I therefore like it the best. 10.

Shadow Of Light

Terrific composition of light, texture & colour. It's simple at first glance, but actually has a charm and harmony that the thoughful viewer cannot dismiss easily; it really rewards a few moments' study, which I think is a sure sign of a very fine photograph. 9.
