My Piano
by LanSnake

Comment:
What can I tell you? It's a good, strong, graphically simple image. But perhaps too simple, somewhat lacking in what Freeman Patterson use to call "dynamic tension." Perhaps sticking a few human fingers in there pressing the keys would provide the necessary tension to really make it a great shot. Just a thought. CJ

Barge and Bridge

Comment:
When I look at this image, what I primarily gravite to is the boat. Because that's primarily what this image communicates. And so it begs the question, is this boat your corner of the world? And if not, then I'm going to suggest the lower marking received are in part because this perhaps isn't the best representation of... well... your corner of the world.

Beyond that, the absolute gray of the moment you made this image makes it seem dull to me, lifeless, and makes me wonder how much more impact the image would have had were in shot on a different day and in different light -- the lighting we choose will either make the ordinary bland or the ordinary extra-ordinary.

On a good note, however, it is a relatively clean image. That is to say, I don't find it over cluttering. So that is something in your favor.

But in the future, pay more attention to the light. Because doing so can make the ordinary...well... extraordinary.

Hope that helps,
CJ

prison?

Comment:
It's not so much the image I'm really commenting on, here but rather the title. Is "prison" really what you're trying to communicate with this image? I don't think it is. I might be wrong. But that's my guess. So I don't at all question that this image is indeed part of "your corner of the world", but I do question whether the current title is the best choice. You're decision.

Out of the Blue

Comment:
I'm glad you won this one Jean. Your image is an interesting and unual one in and of its own right. But it's particularly good for this challenge; a most excellent example of good use of negative space. Well done...... Just a "beginner in photography" you say? Okay, now you're scaring me. If you'd otherwise told me that you'd been at it for many, many years, it might have been a bit more comforting. LOL. In any event, kudos. Beginner or not, it's just good image making.
