Comment by BobsterLobster:
My favourite shot this challenge, and I thought there were more excellent ones than usual, so well done! Sadly, this interpretation of life is all too true for many people much of the time. Photography as art can be used to change people's lives and I think that this photo gives much to reflect on. It works very well in b&w, the angles of the tiles works very well in this composition. I think they serve to lead the eye away from the eyes and out of the frame, which provides a dissonance with the fact that he/she is unwilling to get out of the box. So the eye is simultaneously focusing on the subject's eyes and at the lower right hand corner. A dark box works nicely as a contrast to the floor and the subject's hands. 10

Very interesting take on this week's assignment indeed. I really like the darkness of the trunk and the brightness of the floor... they really compliment one another nicely.

My favourite! Great stuff and an excellent shot to go with some surreal humour. One of only two [10]s

Nice composition, great lines.

The base of the pole is a little bit muddied by the darker bricks.

This is a very clever idea.I like the detail in this shot...the welly boots, the seat. I like the angles of the buildings leading your eye through the whole picture as well. This would be a good commercial shot for a greetings card (for example).Very good!
