Which is the subject - the blurred black "thing" or the blank white... billboard, is it?

Very interesting take on the theme. Though I would've liked the front ball sharper than it is.

I find the purple colour cast distracting. Other than that, it's pretty solid.

Wall Space

Comment by Louis:
Great image along the lines of the others in this series. Personally, I think your best photos are minimalist, like this, with a direct focus on one particular subject, and how it relates to the environment it's photographed in. This includes many of your "best friend" photos, and some of your JEB photos. Some of your photos in my opinion get a bit cluttered, with many distracting elements. Many elements sometimes work in your pictures, such as a few of the JEB ones, where the environment is relevant to the subject, but some don't work as well. In general, your work is great, and congrats.

In response to your request for comment: This is a great example of a gritty or urban picture. The focus on the wall as the main subject, with the figure seeming to be only an incidental element, is a fantastic choice, and of course the added or purposeful grain simply makes this image all the more effective. The picture is well cut up in thirds: the man, the central portion of the image that has more or less straight scratches, and the rightmost portion that is bounded by a darker patch near the top. I naturally want to look at the figure of the human being, but your clever composition forces me to concentrate on the intricate detail of the wall, and for me this therefore becomes an important relationship. So there's a story in this image.

I really think the underexposed figure works well, especially because we can't see his face. His left hand I think is perfectly positioned and held. The background to his right (immediately to the left of the figure in the picture) is perfect, reflecting the grunginess of the main subject, the highlighted wall.

There's nothing I don't like about this picture.

Nice attempt at dramatic sunsets. I would recommend, if you don't have one, to get a neutral density filter. This would take away the overblown highlights in the sky. The colors, though, are marvelous. Nice color adjustments.

OK subject, I don't think the mess around the speaker really adds to the photo.
