The Postman Always Rings Twice
by LinMalAng

Comment:
The first thought I had is that if I had taken this I would have allowed the background to be overexposed to bring the postman out of the shadows. But I have to admit the concept and execution makes me smile and so I can connect with the image. I particularly like his pink sweat bands and is that pepper spray for dogs attached to his bag? 6

Keep the aspidistra flying - George Orwell (1936)

Comment:
I can't really comment on the connection with the novel as I'm not familiar with it. I do see a connection with the Aspidistra plant though. As far as the image it is something that I like. Such as the black background, good lighting and effective use of a shallow depth of field. 6

There is much to like here for me. I appreciate the technicals of nice bokeh, the duotone processing and lighting. I particularly like the subtle connections you have made to the book. The boy is blended as one with the forest but looks out of place. He has basic weapons and is looking behind in fear for the aggressive tribe of kids. At least this is what I feel from this image. 8

This image is nice with pleasant colours and good framing. I feel it would be better to clone out those sensor dusts as they do distract from the image. I do particularly like the contrast of the dead tree though. 5

He was only a demigod so not that powerful ;-)

I do like the processing.
