House of Sand and Fog

Catherine - i really like this image a great deal. The repeating line from the beach fence -especially being almost completely black - really reinforces the idea that this scene goes on forever. Your choice of cropping works really well - closed in and tight - so that no unnecessary information is brought to the viewer. One thing I have seen with your B/W photos so far is a tendency not to kick up the contrast enough. B/W photos tend to have the full dynamic range from full black to full white. Muted tones can work on some images, but using the full range (pushing it a bit more than you already have in your first three entries) will create a more film like image.

Really great lighting and tones. I love how the texture of the wall is so amplified by the angle of light.

what a great candid shot - it is amazing to see how on one bench we can see two completely different worlds

I really don't follow the symmetry based on the perspective shown. I see repeating shapes and angles, but it doesn't seem symmetric

I like the effort here - but I think you could have been a little more powerful if the 'reflection' of the fences was more dead center rather than offset to the left.

i really like this style of photo - and you executed it so well. I never have the confidence to shoot and edit this type of shot
