I can't decided whether I hate it or love it... I think I'm leaning more towards the first. It's obnoxious at first but the more I look the more I see and like... but I have to move on.

I'd have adored this without the solarized processing. I mean really loved it ... it would have been my No 1 pick. There must be a reason why you did what you did (been reading a Man Ray book, perhaps). I'll be hoping to learn what it was.

If this was a charcoal drawing, I would be incredibly impressed. As a photograph, though, I find the post-processing to be a bit much, dominating everything else, sort of shouting at me, and I find myself wondering what this REALLY looked like. A very subtle application of this processing might have made the depicted environment, people, pets Snap to life.

Couple w/pets, Saturday lounging at home: in quasi 16x9 aspect ratio processed to a rare editing result - a rather harsh tone mapped combination of positive & negative.

Whoot! I can't say I exactly *like* this image, but it for sure provokes a reaction from me, and that reaction is *NOT* "What a piece of crap!"; far from it in fact. I'm impressed by the chaos, the immediacy of the scene. There's a lot to study, it involves me quite seriously. It's very strange how the second person, on the couch at left, exists only as a pair of pants crossed at the knees: I can't make out any body at all. it doesn't even obviously show shoes for cripesake. A very close examination shows a tiny bit of face eclipsed by the cushion, but I have to look close, so it's very mysterious.
The processing... I don't know... It's integral to what you were after, I know, in the sense that the highly-detailed, unnaturally flat tone mapping look is what gives us the in-your-face chaos-of-detail, and I'm good with that. What sort of bugs me (except that I admire it too) is the tone inversion. I hate it, but I admire it. IN the end, I'm wondering what this looks like not inverted, and with very muted colors, like you'd get if you did the b/w conversion and faded that layer to maybe 40% or so.
I'm quite bugged, also, by the relatively small variation from true horizontal. It comes across as slipshod to me. I'd rather see a true level or a more obvious tilt...

I think the guy is watching TV but it's hard to tell. In fact, it's hard to look at this image for any length of time, it makes me downright irritable.

Brutal processing. Like a sledgehammer. This is a nanosecond before total white out. After the explosion; but before the cloud. A negative of normalcy before annihilation. Too late to duck and cover.

Who's the guy sitting on the couch? Why isn't he watching television? Does he think he's better than me?

There is much to see and absorb in this image, unfortunately all I can really grasp is the processing. This might be a little too far over the edge even for me.
