I find it kinda sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had.

Hell of a title. Song quote? Strong image, very graphic, wonder how it will fare...

Very strong. Perhaps a hair too amped up in the tone mapping on the dark side of the bricks, but it's a judgment call.

It is kind of odd, don't you think, that having completely filled the image frame with iterations of your subject in a "Fill the Frame" challenge, you have created a frame and matte around the image that are defiantly NOT filled? I don't know what to make of that, LOL. I'd like to think it's intentional, that you're playing metaphorical games with us re: the "frame" of the image itself and the "frame" of the presentation, exploring the place & presentation of art within the defined context, and all that happy hoo-hah, so I will :-) Good luck with this! Feel free to PM me if you wish, my vote is in.

Van Pelt Street: January

This is very sweet in so many ways. The light is excellent, the colors are striking, the composition in general is crisp and clean. I wish you had more foreground lower left, to see more of the stoop (those stairs would be symbolically important to me), and I wish you'd used some shadow recovery on the dark entry on the left. But all-in-all, a strong image :-)

Oh man, that's EXQUISITE in its own way. I absolutely LOVE the processing here, especially the precise hint of vignetting in all 4 corners. I'll be very interested to see how this fares. keep me posted if you like, I am done with voting on this image :-)

A lovely image, very strong. I am sure you will be questioned re: the "subject fills the frame" aspect of the challenge. I agonized over that myself: I had landscapes I wanted to enter (the landscape IS the subject after all, and it does fill the frame) but decided to go in a completely different direction and not fight that battle. Good luck to you with this one :-)

Now THAT'S luminosity! HDRI processing, I assume? If so, excellent avoidance of the common pitfalls of the technique :-)
