The Rescuer

Great tones. Very strong image made more so by the near anonymity of the man's face. 7.

Peace

Comment:
These people are soldiers I think. Israeli soldiers perhaps? Maybe something more benign; her nails are not terribly warlike. He has a broken arm with a couple of portraits on the plaster cast. It's a very interesting point-of-view, looking directly down at them this way. I hope to find out more about this picture, later. What kind of Peace, for example. 7.

I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I like these preposterous colors. 7.

My Only Regret
by bucket

Comment:
This is interesting. The lighting (including the lack of it) is theatrical, and suggests that this is a stage performance. I expect to see the man begin a soliloquy raking over the coals of his life.

Beneath all that is another interpretation, triggered by the self-congratulatory posters. How to turn 2 cents worth of coffee beans at the Guatemalan grower's end into two bucks worth of coffee at the regretful man's end. The shadowy figure in the corner is no doubt Mr Businessman, counting the beans. 9.

Simple but striking. Intelligence and experience in those eyes. A good man. 7.

The Melt

Comment:
A lovely puzzle with ambiguous relationships between the surfaces, eventually explained with a smile by the leaf in the corner. Really well seen. 7.

Combat Water Survival: Lesson 1

Comment:
This is interesting. Not just a standard class photograph ... it has a strange ecclesiastical feel to it. The fact that the massed body of the students forms an echo of their own flag (twice!) is another elevating element. 7.

No Gas

Comment:
All the horizontal shapes are great; one one level it's a near abstract of bold blocks, some kind of secret order out of desolation. 7.

Nearer, My God, to Thee

Comment:
Interesting photograph, not just for the celestial light beam but also for the faraway look in his eyes. 7

Reunion
by Federico

Comment:
What I like most about this is that it seems to be a mixture of players and audience. Theatre as real life. 7.
