Comment by Claya:
Nice job. Light bulbs add just enough color to satisfy my curiousity that is really is in color but not so much that it goes against the spirit of the challenge, you know B&W.

This has a wonderful gaudiness to it. Great color! and lack of it?

Yum! I love the pop of color that the light bulbs bring to the photo.

This is sort of cool... light and darkness.

I gave this a 7. It's just a fascinating study of lines. It's "unprocessed" look makes it a mini-revelation. Look at the beauty that surrounds us! Or at least... look at the lines that surround us!

Yep, it's a hamburger stand, alright.

Of itself, it's a good shot, though not everyone will like the dominance of the shadows. I like the yellow of the incandescent lights, and the moody silhouette of the people. But it doesn't really say "black and white" to me. It's got lots of black and white, so it's hard to say DNMC, but...

risky one here. The use of words/letters draws my eye to them (just the stuff on the bottom of the page) and I'm left struggling between reading and taking in the frame. I'm all around the frame - if I image the frame with the writing blurred or in characters I can't interpret, I get more of a sense of lines and angles with lots of gray. Feel the flat lighting was the way to go but it doesn't add any interest.

didn't vote in this one but this would have garnered a 7 from me. I like the boldness of the x, it is off-set by your trademark soft hues. The glass/plastic edge is a great element. I do agree with the comment on the loss of detail towards the bottom. It doesn't balance out the inteest created by the other three edges. My favorite aspect is that each element is slightly off-center -- inspired.

neglected house

Comment by posthumous:
apt title. the house is neglected by you as well! it is small and obscured, which emphasizes its basic shape, giving us the illusion that we are seeing the essence of this house. The real subject of the picture is a mood, not a house. I'm beginning to think you're a master of the "flat" picture. Manet painted that way, to de-emphasize the sense of depth so that the viewer at least for a moment could feel like all objects were floating on the same plane... which is of course the literal reality of all paintings and photos. (I gave this a 7)
