What a shame the focus isn't a little crisper, as I do like the composition; the photo has the hint of narrative about it, rather than being a straight record shot - I find myself exploring the picture, wondering about the lives of the people who live here. If you didn't use it, some sharpening in photo editing would be beneficial.

Ghost in the Machine

Ooh, I want one, I want one - the Kitchen Aid, that is, not the ghost! A similar idea to the one I came up with, but didn't enter as however hard I tried, I couldn't get my 30 year old Kenwood Chef to look photogenic! That said, I would never have been able to produce a photograph as good as this, well composed, good choice of exposure, and very well presented.

I really, really, really like the 'photo' part of this, but I also really dislike the lower 'sketch' part of the image; I would much prefer a nude photograph, and I feel that you would have carried it off in a tasteful manner. I am only going to give a 6, largely because I feel the transition from sketch to photo doesn't work particularly well here. Nonetheless, it was an interesting technique to try out, and may be worth exploring further; I do admire the fact that you have tried something new and bold.

Owph! I feel sick just looking at this - the things we do for a photograph. Well, OK, I don't have the guts for anything adventurous, but I certainly apreciate this - you got a good 'un!

Timfy/Aimee, you need to get your needle and thread out! That grin is getting worryingly mischievous ;¬D . Love the way he is holding the bar - real 'attitude'! Also glad to see he is wearing a helmet - the first day my youngest came of her stabilisers she cycled smack into a concrete lamp post and split her helmet in two!

Laurie, the 10 was mine; I am so surprised and disappointed to find that this only placed at 126. You used the contre-jour technique effectively, and in the way that I understood it to mean; the photograph is well composed and aesthetically pleasing, and holds lots of interest outside of a mere study of the technique. All in all, very good work - and the fact that it is a photo that has such personal meaning for you makes it even more special; I am glad that you are able to use photography as a way of coping with your grief - I am sure Byron would adore this photo!
