Brilliant. And a remarkable compliment. 124/130: if only more folks could know how good this really is.

It would have helped you maybe a tiny bit to crop out the unnessisery sides, both the sheet and the hose. Then there would at least be fewer objects to distract the eye.

Oh! Well I'm glad we got all that sorted out then. Hope you were paying close attention, Nick.

I didn't vote nor even look, but I'd probably have failed to spot the many flaws in your picture and given it a high mark.

Every time I think I am catching up to you, you skip away again; further ahead than ever & in a new direction too. Just stop it!

Ah! This was very fine. Still is, actually. I did give it a decent score (7, which is very high for me), and meant to comment further but something happened. My alarm didn't go off. The dog ate my comment. The train was late out of Strathfield. One of those, anyway. Sorry for my no show before now, and congratulations on a surprisingly but pleasingly high finish for such a very good picture :)

I'll always vote for more headroom, by the way. Max Headroom. Cropping it down closer would have risked mussing your hair (and I have much less hair than you too, so I know about these sensitive tonsorial cropping considerations).

Ooops! I never did get back to you, did I? Sorry. I was overcome by the splendor of the model. A professional, I assume? I'm sure I have seen that same smile hovering a couple of feet north of some spiffy Calvin Kleins on a billboard.

You really ought to consider ticking this quoted comment as helpful, Anita. It's a perfect (though unconscious, I grant you) appreciation of the photograph isn't it? Out of focus, badly lit and rather be elsewhere are all surely the very point of your Ode to Eleven.

It's a splendid, three-dimensional picture, a picture with some purpose, just as the quoted commenter has pointed out.

There's something of Martin Parr in your stuff these days. I don't mean it's derivative: it's not (you have a broader vocal range than does MP, for a start). I mean that your current stuff has that strange sense of wavering between banality and profundity, and being all the more sparklingly perceptive and revealing for that apparent contradiction. By which I mean it's bloody good, mate!

Preposterous. And that's the way (Uh-Huh) I like it.

You're getting very philosophical of late.

I like that big crushing mechanism that lurks inside. Like a hydraulic/mechanical cave troll. I'd probably pay to be able to push that button a few times.
