Tanglement of Green

Wow.. cool image! But no despair :( Based on your message to me, I now see the intent - but when all I have to go on is the image presented, it's hard to make that conceptual leap. Might have been better titled "Roots of despair" with a visual hint or two to lead the viewer to your artistic intent. Your score stands as is.. technically very good, but doesn't convey despair in a clear manner - 5.

This brings back memories of my childhood and of finding an old car out back of our property. I wish there were a bit less clutter and a bit more contrast, but it's still a good image!

Ohhhhh.. finally! Got it! The pink border doesn't help the photo, but at least I understand now.

Noise, blue, and subject make this memorable - good job.

Wonderful shot! The noise really gives a strong emotional impression to me, and the starkness of the water against the black of the hand creates a lasting image in my mind. The only thing that bothers me is the arm visible underneath the water. It ruins the impression of the "last grasp" before the subject sinks beneath the waves... still 9 for a striking image.

Not sure where the despair is in this pic. The building is in bad shape, but the warmth of the sun negates any despair caused by that for me.

I like the concept of this photo, but I feel like there's something missing. Perhaps it's the darkness in the sky. Sorry I can't be more specific.
