Comment by snaffles:
good concept, a little flat in terms of lighting and comp. Assuming it's OK to get closer to the building (ask permission if unsure), I'd get close to the office sign and try to shoot so the sign is more in perspective, and you can include some of the rest of the office space in the shot.

Comment by tnun:
First response was great laughter. Guess I like it for all the reasons posthumous does and doesn't. Possibly because I have always felt bowling was a kitschy sport - well, compared to lawn tennis and polo anyway.

Comment by posthumous:
The model, of course, is perfect, and you caught him at the exact right moment. Your processing is fine and does indeed give this a retro feel. The hideous cosmic bowling ball art does detract, however. The processing de-emphasizes it a little but also adds a bit of a sickly pall to it. Maybe b/w would de-emphasize it more, though I admit to a bias for b/w so don't trust me. I also wonder if the figure is cropped in too close.

This one touches me, the sense of hope that I may yet take flight :-) It's my sort of image... You were brave to center gthe heart, but it is saved from tghe hum-drum by the asymmetrical location of the heart within the centered opening. 9 from me.

Remarks: A poet should not give into sentiment. He should deal real feelings.
His is, after all, the language of poetry and not the poetry of language.

Nice, I like the colors and feel of it, I think a bit larger heart in the center would have been nice and I feel that the processing has made the frame less appealing than it could have been.
