I'm not sure what these are, but the photo is very delicate and beautiful.

Are those "drawing" templates? I was wondering if anyone would use a theme akin to "the answer's right there in black and white..: thanks for doing it so I didn't have to...

The bottom part has a jaggy or crystalline look -- I wasn't sure if it was a sharpening effect or a JPEG compression artifact -- it doesn't affect my score, but I was curious.

I like this photo quite a bit but I can't figure out the effect and how it was achieved... maybe there is an explanation in the description... nice shot!

Wow. I'd love to see the how-to on this one. It's pretty amazing, but I'd like to see more DOF so that JOY could be in focus.

Interesting mirror work. Don't know how well a neutral subject like that works against such a contrasty background. Tape shows at bottom.
