Pretty much what mad_brewer said. Tones as they are reinforce our reflections.

4.52 Coot and cobbles
by Melethia

Comment:
Love the simplicity/apparent simplicity of this, and the spare but succinctly defined coot in his smooth rippled water. (I'm wondering why you didn't crop some off the top as you did the bottom; in your original the dark above the curve balances the bottom, but here I'm not sure).

4 - Wheeling Suspension Bridge
by Bud

Comment:
Very very interesting. Texture of water and massive bridge pylon(?) om right foreground being more in focus or less obscured by precipitation quite strongly anchor a scene of many elements which contribute but don't compete/clash. (Managing multiple elements is a HUGE challenge for me). The sweet spot/icing on the cake is where the suspension cables turn from dark grey to almost white.

Tonal masterpiece, not to mention the brilliant way of contrasting foreground and subject.

Tonal ranges in this really bring out the simplicity of the scene. Nice to look at.

The Overdose

There's just something about the bottom corner of the refrigerator and that right rear leg (and the word 'slothery') that speaks deeply to me.

I love this photo. A lot of it is the perspective, lines and trees, but then there is the whoomph of your subject and your context is ennobled.

Good quick sketch. (But lose the shirt!)
