The Bludgeoning Dreams of Walking on Water

Comment:
the picture delivers a certain feeling (loneliness, longing) very well, but the person's legs seem to be rather submerged. Also I'm not sure, whether the dark corners are intentional.

I wish I could be sure the silhouette is in-camera. Also there is a bit strange contrast between the grungy concrete in the forefront and the same, but much more casually looking concete in the background. Still an 8 from me.

That's not fair, I can never get a scene like this in the Prague Zoo ;-)

Great atmosphere and light, painting-like yet natural, interesting composition, fascinating situation... 10

great image, but another, less visible achievement was the score. It is exactly the same as a very very similar older photo by kiwiness



Avg (all users): 7.498 both.

I don't mean you copied it (even if you did your picture still deserved the blue), I'm just perplexed by the coincidence :-o

Ah, another one that was stolen from my favorites. I thought what the hell, why did it dissappear - and here is the answer. :-)

the colors are fascinating.

good luck

Comment:
no idea what is happening there but as an abstract composition it is fine and catched the eye for much more than usual few seconds. I suggest a slight crop on the left.

great expression, good composition, would be better if the face was fully in focus (which may be quite hard, taking into account a typical monkey's patience) and the background less distracting/more contrasting

fine composition and sharpness, but it needs a massive boost of contrast IMHO

Not In Use

Comment:
beautiful detail, peculiar, intriguing yet obviously natural scene, minimalist approach to color and well balanced shades...

I prefer when I don't recognize the photographs in the challenges, including this one, but well, finding here one of my favorites (wait, it somehow dissapeared from my list!)... 10, though cloning over those footprints could make it even better (s.t. like 10,8 :-)

Comment:
the depth of focus is a bit strange - everything behind the railing seem to be an old poster. Plus the front is too busy and messy.

Still, it breathes "poetry" and "mystery" to me very well.
