I liked this one. Specially the idea that the figures have substance only because of other real objects, and not by themselves.

I will come back to vote for this one for one reason... I am not sure if I like it. I mean most people on this site will most likely hate it. I just don't know yet. We will see later when I get a second view of it.


Well I am back to vote and this is the last image I am voting on. I am still unsure about this one. I will give it a 6 however that may change down the road from now.

Kinda like a freaky fumage. Very nice.

I viewed this image for ever, don't know if it's the relaxing colours, the nice Bokeh and balanced feel, or the blot at the bottom (hehe).

We meet again, Meester Bond... er... Posthumous! Welcome back to the Critique Zone.

Interesting shot - not a classic of your style I would say, but you are one of the few I have seen who has managed to inject some real contrast and richness into the b/w - Kudos for that.

Technically: Not a lot to say, its obviously very sound, so only opinion remains. I did think initially that you could have gone for a narrower DoF, but then it occurs to me that you wanted to show the 'ruins', so that wouldn't help.

Artistically: Classic bit of framing and rule of thirds, nice light and dark etc. If I had one criticism, it would be that I would like to see a little more of the runined model - maybe just far enough across the windowsill to see both elbows and enjoy the triangular geometry you would achieve, but that it just personal taste.

Nice shot, good story but (for me) not really up there with your best work. Get back out there dammit!

Happy hunting,

Frank.

A starlet, she is. Posing center stage and holding that leg just so!
