Perfect. The monochrome tones are excellent, and the lighting and focus are dead on.

This I like a lot. Dare I say that the 'E' is now distracting, but I think it could be cropped or, better yet, cloned out pretty easily. Anyway, I think the shadows are bolder in this version, and really help to punctuate the at-sign effect. Also I think the black-and-white really brings out the rusty, weathered textures here. Nice job.

This has some excellent shapes and textures in it. The colors don't do much for me (the green on the right is distracting). Have you tried it in black-and-white?

Week 11 - Tape

Originally posted by aguapreta: interesting image - the subject just isn't really strong to keep my attention. However, it does create some interesting lines and patterns with the light reflections.

I beg to differ. I think there's a lot to see here. The lines and patterns, yes, but the lone hair and the glue add a lot of interest. The light is perfect and I like the shallow DOF (necessary probably because it's a macro) and the way the tape blurs and darkens into the background. Perfect for black-and-white and good that it's not overprocessed. Nice job!

This is good, but I think it would benefit from some noise reduction and better framing (can you get the whole building?). And, yeah, the pole. Nicely inspired though. I love these kinds of shots.

What rotten luck! Sorry you missed the challenge. I like the image -- especially how you captured blur but still retained some texture. The sign is great.

I see you

I love your black and white processing here. Nice abstract effects too.

Nice effect. Looks like your subject is being yanked out of the image...

For those asking about how the effect was accomplished, just turn off your windshield wipers during a downpour (when you're pulled over!)

That's just wrong. Seriously, this is beautiful. Congartulations!

Congratulations and all that, but how'd you do it? How'd you do it?!
