Title: Consider Me Gone, by Arnit

Composition: The composition of this shot is done real well. I like the way the right side of the foot and calf just blend into the background with no absolute definition, in contrast to the opposite side which is very defined. Your choice of B/W is right on, and it was executed with good contrast and use of the gray scale.

Technical: You have excellent focus and exposure, and lighting, with only minor blurring of the toes.

Challenge: Your picture definitely meets the challenge, but I think crawling came before walking, Ha Ha.

Suggestions: There are a couple of things I don't really care about on the picture, it is a great job so don't get me wrong. When I first open it up it doesn't jump up and say "Hang me in your living room". I think a top picture should have that type of effect on the viewer. Secondly, the lines developed by the left side of your image take my eye to two different places. One along the shin area takes me up and out of the picture, and the other along the top of the foot takes me to those soft focused toes. Neither of these trips is very rewarding, which is why I only rated it with a 5 when I voted in the challenge.

I consider you to be one of the better photographers here, which is proven week after week by the diversity of subjects that your pictures represent. Keep up the great work.

I like this, after looking at all the other 1000 varieties of wine glass pics in this contest this kind of sums at my feelings

The first I've commented on so far this week and the one that DESERVES to come FIRST.

Definitely an image with the sought-after "Wow" factor - as "WOW !!!" is exactly what involuntarily issued from me immediately upon seeing this extraordinarily striking picture.

There was a "fleet"ing moment when I thought it was a model ship - such was the impact of its shape.

What is it ? How did you do it ?

IT'S FANTASTIC !!

Great good luck to you for your final placing ! Er....10 !

Very dramatic. Perhaps the title could have suited the mood a bit better, and I am curious as to what the event looked like at an earlier moment.
