I love this shot Don. This reminds me of what I did with a shot called "Ghost Station". I got clobbered also. People just don't like that kind of processing. I love ominous looking skies.

DNMC for me. I am sure you were expecing that though. I don't see the child's toy here. Is that what he is holding in the shadows?

My primary reaction is: so THAT'S what you look like. You look troubled, my friend. Whether it's because smoke is in your eyes, you're feeling what your comments say, or the camera went off before you were ready, I couldn't say.

Facing a Visual Culture

As usual, Don, I feel like this shot belongs on a wall with a bench in front of it. It's not an instant grabber, but rather it invites you to think about what's happening to and around this girl.

I think the picture tells about how blind people perceive the world without help: one big jumble. It begins with her facing away from the folks behind her and continues through the confused background. And the tones are so stark, emphasizing the harshness of making your way in a sighted world without sight.

Oh. I just got this was a challenge entry. :) I'm not sure how well this fits with the challenge theme, but I know you don't really care about that.

The only thing that bothers me is that she almost looks pasted in. I think it's because of the dark outline on her cheek on the image-right side and neck on the image-left side.

intresting concept but I feel that the dark areas on the left and right of the frame takes away from the shot.

Having a big family this is all to familiar to me! Great composition and dramatic lighting. Even if I didn't "get it" this would be a great photo for its simple design and lighting. Congratulations on taking such a wonderful photo. 9

Quite a powerful shot - but I'm struggling to make the connection with childrens toys . . looks more like a poster on bullying to me.

Or maybe an Ingar Bergman film. B&W, long pauses without much happening and not very cheerful . .
