On the Night Bus

This is very fine. We have unspoken connections, even unrecognized connections, with our fellow travelers in life. It's nice to celebrate them for that instant they exist. It's a decisive moment that neither of them were aware of. 8.

The Observer

Comment:
Wonderful composition! Just excellent in every way. Oh how I wish the dreary bloody literalists would spend some time thinking about inspired compositions such as this, and might then hopefully stop bleating about bits being 'cropped' out! Pictures are not only about what's inside the frame. This one connects two worlds brilliantly by avoiding the isolating effect of convention. Bravo! 9.

Odd but compelling. It seems beyond easy explanation; that's always a good thing! 8.

Manassas Crossing
by Les_Feck

Comment:
Might be easy to pass over this, because it's so unassuming. But it is a perfectly conceived and composed photograph. It's about the meaning of the crossing. I think about all the similar crossings in all the similar places, and what they have contributed to our lives. It's a very fine documentary photograph. 8.

I love crow pictures. Every one evokes a story. This one's an especially good one. 8.

Companionship

Comment:
It's a beautiful photograph. It is rare to see this kind of thing done with genuine (rather than simulated) pathos. The three seem merged into one by the bonds between them. 8.

Silos
by jaysonmc

Comment:
This is one of those photographs that grows, expands, as you look at it. For such a simple composition, it is very sophisticated. The twin silos standing stark and splendid like a minor installation on another planet. The stop sign suggests a rail crossing. And the road makes a kind of sweeping salute to this lonely outpost before resuming its relentless crawl to the horizon. And on the low hill, just in the corner, is a hint of a settlement. Probably the people who feed these hungry silos. Very fine picture. 8.

"Inside an easter basket" ... that's very good! It does have a Fabergé quality. Filigree trees. Even curves in to the top.

What are you doing in the countryside? i thought you never left East Ortega and the waterfront? Those two big things are trees. The other thing just out of shot mowing the grass is a lawnmower cow. Oh it's nice out here. Take a deep breath.
