I know you took this long ago and with film but it deserves a comment - you had the eye even back then - this is a wonderful shot.

Greeting from the Comment Bomb Squad!

Just looking through your profile finding a few images with a few comments only in order to give you some more feedback.

I voted this shot a big time 9, and actually voted this higher than the blue ribbon winner from this challenge. I thought you did well with the exposure and the color and the sharpness in a challenge requiring SOOC performance. The advanced edit is great too. I like that your current work is studying one subject, something that you love.

Here you have captured a nice, gritty, character portrait. I voted this a 6 in the challenge and the reasons for my vote were that it had great technicals with good exposure and sharpness. I found his face to be in shadow with the light coming in from behind his rightside making his eyes a little dark. The B&W conversion was very well done wth good tones and I like the gritty edge to this up close and personal capture.

Amazing what you can get in a very normal place when you set your mind to it. I very much like how you have just one narrow plane in focus, the foreground and the background a blurry support, the colour to hold it all together. Well done.

Ahh, this is where you got the other one. I like this one too. Pretty nice abstract study.

Hehe, that's good! Very good. Love the comparison photo, for comparison (Bergiekat at the bottom). You should have called it that, "cat at the bottom". Funny shot.

Scary! I feel like I'm going to fall into water, very deep water, cold, cold, and drown! I kinda like the feeling anyway :) I don't much care for the rope showing at bottom left, but then, maybe it's a bit of a rope to hold on to while trying not to fall into all that water.

Wow, nice one! They really are coming at you. I would have voted it high, had I voted.

Beautiful outline in green. I like how it stands out against the oranges of the night. I also like how the semaphore mirrors the green around the building.

Hehe, no idea what a "deep ellum" is, but I like the picture.
