Comment by tanguera:
The stovetop was the warmest spot in the house. As they sat around, waiting for the potato soup to boil, the vapors produced an enigmatic vision.

Dance of the unknown bird/ghosts. We like this one too. And what a solid histogram.

Well done and worthy of a posthumous! Then again, all your shots are. This one is particularly nice.

Her posture is so awkward it gives me the feeling she is dancing. Love windshield shots.

wonderful light and darkness... I hope your terrific model got more than just a poem as compensation.

An enigmatic landscape, a lone figure who appears to be squatting, an overlay that suggests you shot this through a wet or dirty window. The pieces don't fit together at all, which makes for wonderful tension, intrigue.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Extraordinary image - the whole inside-out effect is so very strong. I love how many things are ambiguous, the gender of the subject, the position and nature of all of the surfaces, the wider context of the image - is the subject on a boat?? Their posture - are they jumping? If so why. All these questions makes us very interested in the image. I love the composition too - all that negative space up top... and I really enjoy the levels, the way you keep the coat black and formless.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Fabulous... 9 or 10, 9 or 10....hmmmm

funny idea. Not much of a portrait.

First I though you should've cropped off the bottom part, then I thought, "What the Hell do I know; it's your picture." On reflection, I like it very much, just as it is. The dark void makes the person's strange body position all the more improbable and thus more wonderful. Thank you.
