So Deb...You feel like me? I really like this image and your decision to go b/w. I find your vision and view point refreshing and I tend to be drawn to your work. This is another example - What is the pattern? Do I see the same one as the photographer? Your work challenges us a bit more and I think that is actually a very good thing, but unfortunately not very rewarding if you are trying to go for a 6+ score...

Nice swoopy lines and smooth reflections. I think this one may have scored higher than the one you entered. I really like the fact that you are entering what YOU prefer.

Patterns everywhere... several stories to imagine. Well done, regardless of the final placing.

Let's see, what to say, what to say ... *rummages around his store of "how to tell Deb she's so wrong about her talent" words*

This is a classic Deb Fort shot, which is very much a compliment. It has natural lines, an interesting story, and is of an utterly mundane subject. That's your special gift, Deb: taking interesting pictures of mundane subjects. I've lost track of how many posts I've read where people desperately want what you have.

Deb, I just love this shot! To heck with the voters who couldn't see the pattern. I see at least 9 patterns here! this image just begs to have the viewer linger over and explore. And the B&W conversion is spot on! Well done, and adding to faves.

Lol - that is one heck of an essay. Ok if this scored poorly, then my photo is crap because it scored lower than yours.

Ok here's the patterns I see, for those that fail to see them (geez):

1) Two trees connected by the double line.
2) All the little squares
3) The white lines of the cross walk.
4) The barrier sticks running along the curb. (ooh and their shadows!)

This is not a pattern thingy but I just noticed this and it's pretty cool - you have a bike, it's shadow, and then there is a white symbol of the bike in the street. Very coolies.

Great photo with lots to look at. Fun, very fun.
