My first thought was Walt Whitman, then I looked at the other comments and noticed I was not alone in that perception. :) As fragile as a sand painting, but yet is a strongly recognizable character, even a story - the brow conveys pain and long experience to me.

Very nice, I like the stark contrasts here.

The highlights are so extreme it looks as if part of the image has been erased. There's definitely some nicely bold geometrics here, but for me the complete loss of detail in some parts of the image keeps me from really connecting to this. Then again, maybe that's the point - something abandoned is something radically disconnected from everything else.

Sorry you had to wait so long to get a comment on this, I'm just now sorting through the backlog. :) Had to Google the artist to see that this is likely a sculpture - you made quite an interesting abstract out of this, and that slice of (looks like?) sky at the bottom creates a disorienting effect.

Amazing how this shadowy image still manages to be utterly recognizable - rock-paper-scissors game, if I guess correctly. Iconic without seeming so, if that makes any sense. :)

Butterfly Wings 3

Comment:
Nice effect - just sharp enough to make for a pleasing recognition of a butterfly and just blurry enough to get the at-the-moment sense of seeing it. Sepia toning, if I've identified that correctly, is nice, but I feel like this shot needs more sharply contrasting black/white definition and the sepia muddies that a little.

Good framing of the action moving into the image, against our expectations (left to right instead of right to left). I like the pairing of background and foreground grid-like patterns (building and sidewalk "fence"), which are at slightly opposing angles to each other.

Very nice DOF, I like how you took a single-subject filled frame and still managed to have a distinguishable foreground and background. 10

Puts the viewer square in the moment, especially with those splashes. Very nice.
