Ditto. Gender of the younger sibling is irrelevant of course. The drama holds up.

Im Zeitmaß und Charakter eines geschwinden Tanzes

I love Hindemith. That would have been worth an extra point had I known (the title didn't click, and I usually don't look at them anyway).

A helmet for a hat. Carelessness pays off. Congrats.

The black Swan of the family?

Good shadows, textures, contrast. I love how the golden glow carves out the silhouettes.

always passing by, never stopping

This feels like a bmartuch image, which, in any case, is a compliment. Always thoughtfully composed but with a feeling of quietude -- or loneliness.

My soul still remembers

Struggling to figure out what's troubling your soul here. A thoughtful photograph in any case. Looks good low key.

6:45am - Homeless - Cold
by dswann

Comment:
I've been trying to temper my general distaste for pictures of homeless people while evaluating this image. I'm not doing so well. This is a sad but common scene, and, especially in this case, all too easy to capture -- i.e. no risk of eye contact, you're at a safe distance, and your subject is immobilized. I appreciate that you're trying to show us a sad state of affairs, but in my opinion, this doesn't add anything to an already overflowing body of homeless people photography.

A surer strategy would be to take the guy (let's assume it's a guy) a hot cup of coffee and a donut, get to know him a little bit, and then take his picture -- i.e. show us more of the man and less of his condition. Of course, that's easy for me to suggest from the comfort of my PC. Anyway...

Awesome. Any further attempt at words will ruin it for me. This goes high on my list.

A ten for you (one of two I've handed out).

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Who can resist this fairy tale? Who would want to? One of those images I wish I could climb into and explore. Alas, it's futile -- like revisiting one's childhood. My pick of the evening challenge.

quadratum infinitum

The eye bounces around the composition finding seemingly many paths to escape -- but they're all dead ends. Wonderfully labyrinthic.
