If I were posthumous I would give you a ribbon for this. Red, I think. I like the illusion of looking down at his reflected alter ego. Alas, I don't think you are eligible to receive a posthumous ribbon. Just a feeling I have.

Descent

Comment:
My immediate thought was of Henri Cartier-Bresson's Hyères photograph. That's a damn good first thought to inspire!! Top five for me. Thank you.

This might be even better than I think, and I think it's pretty good. I'm having a guess that you are pointandshoot, and that's the best compliment I can offer. Top five for me.

Back Stage
by atupdate

Comment:
Scale. It's all about scale I suppose. Immensity of the stage versus insignificance of the person. And the tiny bit of blur about the head & shoulders, as a bit of a nod to posthumous. Nevertheless I give it high marks for the conventional stuff: perfect exposure and tonal control. Top ten for me. Thank you.

Oh, I'm torn. Picture is decent. Title is very good indeed and makes me think the picture may be even better than I thought. Top ten. Thank you.

I think you are melethia. If you aren't I have just paid you a profound compliment. It's a beautifully judged photograph. Thank you.

It's either crap or brilliant. Second look ... a looooong one: yes I will go with brilliant, or close to it. The feather (if it is a feather, or even if it isn't) is the clincher. Top ten. Thank you.

Electric Tattoo

Comment:
It's packed with interest and entertainment. Very nice monotone conversion too. But my greatest pleasure came from realising that none of the five figures is visually or physically interacting with any other. It's as if they are each quite unaware of the presence of all the others. It's odd and weirdly pleasing that five people engaged on a common task would be arrayed in this disconnected way in a photograph. 8. Thank you.

where the wild things are

This is difficult. I'm either slightly ambivalent or wildly enthusiastic about it. I'll go with wildly enthusiastic I think. Thank you. Second longer look ... I'm still happy with enthusiastic. A contemporary cave painting. Love that mad wolf thing. Thanks again.
