I really like the contrast and tension established by the light and shadows here.

I love the "expression" on his/her face. Great capture and bw works very well here, I think.

I like how the one window has wire/screen on it. Adds interest, I think.

A River Runs Through It
by karmat

Comment:
Yea, yea, yea. I was so bored by the book, figured I'd avoid the movie. The river was a brownish color, mainly because of the unbelievable amount of rain we've had this summer, particularly this day. I have no idea who this guy is -- just some poor guy who was the only fly fisherman I could find on the river.

I would have had the whole rod showing, but then you would have seen what a mess his line was in (I think he was just learning or something). Also, I am on a quest to find out what the heck that pixelation stuff is -- it's not from compression, as you can see it in the original, but not at full size.

Thanks for the comments.

Good use of repeating patterns to draw the eye into the picture.

Admittedly not an emotional shot for me, but I really like the composition and lighting on this. Very high-key. Nicely done.

I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have given this shot a 7 or 8, I think. I love the composition, and the subject choice definitely meets the challenge in a high quality way. The ONLY nitpick I have is that light in the upper right in the background is a bit bright. Great work, Mieka!!

The battle

Good idea, but the soft focus doesn't help in my opinion, and it either needs a slower shutter speed (with a tripod) or more light as the color seems to have a yellowish-orange cast to it. If that is intentional, okay, it just doesn't do a lot for me. :-)
