Excellent composition! Very well shot - nice crisp lines, detail is perfect, black and white was an excellent choice! The lighting on this is very well done - just enough to present the subject. This has a sort of 'nostalgic' feel to it. When I first viewed it I thought of old time radio shows where all the sound effects were produced on stage live with the performers - those big sheets of metal they would suspend so they could rattle them for thunnder and lightning sounds or even a vaudeville act of old theater. Very well done Jimmy!

Such a good and telling photo. Candid - absolutely! Well shot and composed - most definitely! Really nice work Robert and not your usual fare. Very underrated in my opinion. The processing is just right and really adds to the overall composition. I love the natural b&w with the hint of color. Well done Robert!

Very nice Jimmy! I like the water on the subject - nice for the effect. Composition is great. Lighting is very well done - the balance of shadow and highlight is perfect. Angle of placement really adds to the appearance. Well done!

What does the height have to do with the photograph? Not necessary.

Great shot Roxanne! I loved the off center composition. The blend and shift of colors is excellent (how many did you have to go through to get this combination?) The shot is clear and very well focused. The combination of title and composition works very well. I love it! Well done!

Very well done! The different shapes provide some very interesting reflections and compliment the light quite well. The subtle color tones are very nice. Well done!

Now this is my kind of abstract. I love the colors and textures. I like how it is not readily obvious what it is. The title is perfect and allows the mind to wander in its own imaginings. Nice shot!

The composition and approach/perspective of this shot should have set this one apart. Very nice concept, well shot subject, colors are excellent and using the mirror was the right touch. Wish it had done better - perhaps the recent flower challenge was too soon for the shot. It is definitely well done and deserved to place better. The focus is spot on and the DoF is just right for the composition. Well done Jimmy!
