Let the Good Times Roll

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Thought I'd grab one for old times' sake, and here you are, Janine!

I see you garnered a 6th place with this lovely piece of memorabilia. I actually covet that car, is it actually yours?

Overall, what's to critique? It works nicely exactly as it is, and appears immediate and unaffected. Personally, I feel the blacks are a little backed up and the image is kind of crunchy, but that's niggling, it doesn't really matter. It all works.

So, good job!

Beautifully done...

You don't bring me flowers

I find this incredibly poignant. Something about the tripartite composition, with the central, warped section walling off the figures from the flowers, defies its own stagnancy, seeming to underline a fundamental alienation. Or I'm just blowing happy smoke :-) But it works for me...

This is my top choice in the challenge. I hope it's getting the love it deserves. Fabulous, quirky composition, milking everything you can out of the enforced dimensions, playing with perspective and scale in a startling way.

Uh-oh!

This cracks me up. For the LONGEST time I couldn't identify what that object was. I was actually thinking sea monster or something. And me a waterman all my life, who's been in his share of canoes and owns an Adirondack Guide Boat...

Very cool shot, one of my higher scores :-)

Perfectly suited to the challenge, power and delicacy both in the processing, well done.

Using the dimensions perfectly. Wonderful, moody light and processing. One of my very top scores. I wish the very bright reflection to the right of center had been muted a bit, it's an eyetrap that keeps pulling me away from the skyline.

Right at the top of my list. Wonderful background. Love the ghostly, far-away figure on the right.

Almost certainly the winner. Perfect use of the narrow space.

I like the image, but I am bothered by the fact that fully half of it is empty space, contributing little to interest me. Now, if you had a BEE hovering over there :-) Also, on my monitor it's a little washed out on the twig, in general I think it would be stronger if it were about one zone darker/richer.
