A touch heavy on the topaz >? or simialr for me but I like the set up with the high contrast and tilt - very European

My fave of the challenge. I love the patterns of lines and strong contrasts. Beautiful in black and white.

Nice photo of dice. Not really what can be described as "Bits & Pieces" though.

Hey, I can see you! Nice macro, shading and lines. I feel myself wanting to zoom out and maybe have the silver ball closer to the thirds line?

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like how candid this image is, I could believe you were invisible. I like the high contrast treatment too. I particularly like the pipework to his left.

Critical stuff: The strange smoothness of the fabrics - looks like something you might get with Topaz. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of that look (though I do confess to having used it myself before.)

Overall: A very good candid capture.

Nice job putting the subject in context, and grabbing some nice details.
