A Picture Frame

Personally, I like the expression. To me it is the mock expression you make at someone who's staring at you mouth agape. To me it seems to say (coupled with the belly) "What are YOU staring at?" I agree that the lighting is to harsh. I think the background would work if he'd cropped right at the frame rather than letting you see some behind him. Not the best photograph in the world, but not deserving of a 1, IMO.

I perfer your original; I found the smoke more interesting and very pleasing to look at. Also, although the broken bulb no doubt assisted viewers in determining what they were looking at, I thought the abstractness of the first one had more appeal. Great idea - you're truly an original.

After seeing the wagging finger in Kiwi's original, I looked more closely here for fun details hidden in the smoke. In yours I see a face - upper left. Do you see it?

Ha! My guess is that there used to be a swimming pool there. Am I close?

Great shot if only that van weren't in the way. Is the light flare a reflection off the van? bummer.

That is QUITE amazing, but without your title I'd have had no idea - perhaps algae. I feel the photo needs to strongly meet the challenge without the help of the title. 4

I think this better represents irony than indecision. Her expression seems smug. Still good photo. 5, just-married

What a beautiful pose showing such a genuine moment. However the white on white really does it in IMO. 6, just-married
