i'm up to five already picking my favs of yours for our harajuku girls thread, and i said i'd only pick 5 .. sorry but i'v just got to add this one too and that makes 6 ... its a fantastic photograph, an excellently thought out idea and your processing and the final result is totally awesome .. your title is excellent .. its another one of yours that's very easily accessible in my head .. and that's saying something coz my memory sucks !!.. :):)xx

man .. this is stunning .. you've combined the exact same photograph so artistically .. such a simple thing you've done and such a dramatic and excellent result ... this should be hanging up on a wall somewhere, possibly an art gallery!!! ... if that's not gonna happen, then in your own home would be another great place for it .. i'm sorry lisa, but i'm not that good at making critiques, but i can say wot i like !!! :):)xx

Corrugated

Comment by roz:
this is FANTASTIC ... its so interesting .. love the graphic look of this and the subtle colours ... the softness of the image contrasting with the hardness of the subject is excellent .. i reckon that bit on the top lhs gives this a wonderful added 'something' .. and the shadow of the wires against the corrugated iron breaks it up nicely ... love that door knob ... i dont think i'd be wanting to go in there tho .. it looks kinda creepy!! .. it has a sort'v horror movie feel ... love it !!!!!! :):)xx

those shadows are awesome ... the way those kids are standing behind the fence and the bikes in the foreground ... excellent ... this is so good in b&w as well ... the traffic lights, the buildings much lighter and a bit out'v focus in the background .. that excellent sun shining thru the trees .. :):)xx

Comment by roz:
this is gorgeous ... love everything about this image .. that hair is just amazing .. her beautiful skin ... those gorgeous hands .. those finger nails just popping .. it looks like she doesnt want you to photograph her, and the part of her face i can see has a sort'v 'over it' expression .. and even tho our loved one's will put up with having a camera in their faces a lot of the time, they can get a bit fed up on occasion!!! ... my daughter says its like i have a camera growing out'v my face .. i reckon you could be the same lisa .. !!:):)xx
