So much more than a bit of grain going on here Roz. I'm guessing your shooting through the window into a mirror? (so many good reflection shots in this SC). In my mind the guy is peering over his spectacles giving you s look that says 'don't photograph me whilst I feel like this). I think this would be too busy as anything other than B&W and the grain adds more to the scene (I can almost smell the sweat).

And thanks for the nod re grain! I've enjoyed this side challenge and especially playing with some of my less used 'lenses'.

Loving that sky and the gritty look to the building site makes everything look quite dramatic :)

I knew from the thumbnail I was going to love this even though I was already unsure exactly what I was looking at. After opening it up yes I still love it and yes I'm still unsure exactly what I'm looking at. I love the lines and angles and the glimpse of outside.

Whatever it is I love it and like the sound of 'already framed art'

Looks to me as if the car just missed you as it pulled away! Yes, I know its a snow scene but it has made me go get another layer on as it made me feel cold.

I'm imagining you seeking out newly laid ashpalt for these contrasty images. Good framing of space 444 (was 666 not availible?).

Don't read this is you ever want to 'unsee' it but the contrast on the railings makes it look as if the white portion is part of the road and the railings are just hanging there. Am thinking more of lines than edges here (one of the reasons I never entered was not being able to work out when a line becomes an edge).

Stop, stop, stop, stop...

Not sure that car parking right at the bottom was such a good idea. I'm not sure the US highway code is the same as the UK? Over here the difference between a stop sign and a give way sign is that for the former you have to set your handbrake. Ooh, I see little piles of snow!

No need to ask where you went to shoot this Marion. My, thats a big old engine and love the title.

Everything about this high key shot is great and I like that everything except a couple of fingers is softly focussed - the background wins my vote.

Oh, and congratulations on becoming a young grandma :)

Well, the first one was simple but I may have made the second one up, it's smilling at me bottom right - it's what I'd imagine your patronus would look like :)

After your last couple of images I'm now wondering if you set up this hall of mirrors then sprayed everything black? I'm trying to work things out but amm still confused so job done :)
