I got a picture like this, only it's better. Once I'm done processing it, that is. Oh yeah, I'll show you!

a truly lovely portrait. The tones are great. You took the highlights and shadows as far as they could go without losing the softness. The end result is a tangible three-dimensional feel. The composition is simple and straightforward, but also elegant, and just enough of the car is hinted at to give her a setting. Ditto for the grassy background. There's something very American about it, but the tones seem like early-20th-century Europe, for some reason. Wow, I like this photo more the more I look at it and write about it. I swear it's turning into a movie. She's talking English but I can't figure out whether this is an American movie or an American character in a French movie (played by a French actress).

I was having a very difficult time picking my yellow ribbon winner. I finally chose this one simply because it is so moving.

This photo is not as serious as it looks. Its military regularity is undercut by its fading into darkness. Each one on its own is somber, but together they work against each other, suggest some sort of joke, or maybe just hope. What really makes it quirky and forces me to think is the composition, the way the faces are forced all the way to the left. It's kind of a claustrophobic effect.

I keep coming back to this ridiculous, pointless photo. Somehow, by being nothing, you have become everything.

This is indeed about walking, not walkers. Pure motion. Great colors, too.

What is real and what is shadow? Will we ever know? I like how the characters are themselves overwhelmed by a wave/sky of shadow.
