Oh, I missed this one! This is outstanding, such a bleak noire feeling to it, a slice of the 30's, the loneliness of the SRO hotel, all that yummy depressing stuff :-)

There's a certain, in-your-face austerity to this that appeals... I got to ask though: "Is it really KOSHER to "add blur" to a Lensbaby shot in post?" I mean, the whole aesthetic of LB is to creatively manipulate the blur while shooting, right? Not that I really *care*, mind you, I am not *criticizing*, you just got my head off on this weird little trip :-)

Love this Magen, the composition, subject and pp'ing are superb and we get to see the lamp in a different light (sorry.)

Am in 2 minds with this, on the one hand I love the composition and editing but on the other the noise in the centre of the image makes me thing the shadow/highlight tool has been used to excess. Hang on, thats 2 hands not 2 minds sorry.

A simple yet emotive shot for me.

This looks kind of cool with the grainy processing.

I'm for this one. Picture inside a picture is a winner for me.
