Actually, I think I like the grain in this, and the bw works well too, but the crop feels really tight to me -- maybe if there was less on the right, the left side wouldn't feel quite so tight.

Great catch of the reflection. I like the graininess here. Gives me the feeling of passing time.

Originally posted by shamer: awesome find (or idea?) but horrible bokeh! The far back has great color, but the near background is unpleasing...

Boy, I sorta sound like a jerk there - ha ha! I really dug those background colors & the shadow, but for whatever reason, my eye was fixated on those red highlights & box-blur nature of the bokeh here. Hey, I still voted a 5 on it (better than a lot in this challenge - let's just say I generously used both ends of the voting spectrum...). I think all those little bits made the image a little too busy for me - this would be an excellent candidate for selectively softening while adding heavy doses of dodging/burning to get the composition down to it's core imagery.

Roz, this is really neat to look at - I dig the storytelling going on here. I think it could use a little vignette or vignette + blur vignette, though - help the eye settle on the subject, you know? Sorry, the critic in me just can't shush sometimes...

Oh, BTW, thanks for the barrage of flattering commentary on my recent run of good luck! :~)
