I see I was on target about a few things. Even though I was one who didn't care for it, I applaud you for entering the one you liked, In spite of the flak and low voting you expected and got. Sometimes you just don't know how it will be received. You have to throw it against the wall, and if it sticks then it's art!

To Observe Man

Comment by bspurgeon:
Well, I think Jaime has said it well. That last comment is one of inexperience, no sweat. "Photographically", this image tells a story, if you stop to look and listen. She also has likely not read Oscar Wilde's The Picture Dorian Gray, which is what I think of every time I look at this. Totally creepy. Yes it has limitations, but it is not the content.

In hindsight, I think the composition may be improved by cropping to the top of the bust. It may lessen the impact of the door from the viewers attention as mentioned below.

For Steve ( Yospiff), I think you may be correct about the bust, but what if you allowed the bust to lead your eye around to the reflection. For me, I then settle on the man, who is then clearly being watched by the bust as evidenced by the reflection in the mirror. Pretty neat, eh?

Do you think you will process it again without the restrictions of basic? I think more than a handful of us would be interested! Don't forget how excited you were when you first posted this photograph!

You know what? I didn't know that this shot was yours of course and I really liked it! I didn't comment but I liked it. The reason being, I kind of thought that the actual man in the shot could have been the bust itself. It was kind of an "eerie" second in time that you caught this!

Steve (Yospiff) made a great point about JPEG overcompression in posting. Someone else told me about that as well. I didn't know that before. Takes a little fussing but, it works well.

As for the last of these comments...well, just my own opinion here....certainly not coming from YOUR mouth..., it's mine....but, I'd say that this person needs to wake up and learn to comment helpfully or stop commenting! :) She really needs to take a good look at her own portfolio before she makes comments like those! LOL

Really great shot!
