This is what a truck is supposed to be. Makes me long for the time when T-shirts didn't have writing on them, and when people bent over you didn't see their cracks.

This is so sweet. I love the dedication and the little shoes.

Week 3: A Day at the Beach
by Blue Moon

Comment:
(Another lost comment, a brilliant one too). The segues in this are splendid: dark lens to sparkled eye view lens to hair to rocks and tiny figure. I am full of envy for how the background is background but most complimentary, and yet because your face is so prominent with the eyes/shades they almost set up the background as the "view." The hair is a most unusual and attractive way to transition to the rocks.

Week 4: Happy V-Day <3

Comment:
(Keep losing my comments). Like the way the interior pattern is shown and well set off by the ever so slightly textured ground. Effective and pleasing light and dark.

Week 06 - Caffe Tossi

Comment:
Crisp black and white on awnings and wall lamps (and snow laden chairs and tables) draw me right in. Double espresso and a small whipped cream covered pastry, please.

Abandoned (b&w 2008 #4)

Comment:
This is about textures and chiaroscuro; also like Goya in the emphasis on darkness and dramatic sky and suggestive of a time or turning point in history. It takes some looking at. The dark and blurred framing has strong echoes in the major leading lines - the bottom of the stone wall and the descending roofline, but they all lead to a section of coastline that seems unconnected to the rest in terms of subject matter and texture. I'm not sure I would feel this disconnection if the framing had not laid such a strong emphasis on the bottom leading line. It is an impressive photo nonetheless.

Overhead cables impress by detail and perspective: I feel I am being whooshed along to the support tower. Shading in the sky enhances this aspect.

Week 07 - Stone
by hajeka

Comment:
It seems a thoughtful stone, cunningly made like a hat, ready to settle into the last of the light.

Week 6: Vigil

Comment:
Sweet. DOF makes this a storybook with the border of grasses/weeds in front and hillside beyond.

Very expressive, and different from watching live. Here you feel the concentration and muscles, and the arms really stand out and make me think of our desire to fly. Love the dark water, and how scary it must be for the photographer.
