Not doing a whole lot for me, is this: mainly because the desaturation seems wholly arbitrary. Looks like a cool greenhouse though, so to speak.

There's a strange sense of surveillance in this shot - probably simply from the extreme foreground stuff on the left - just makes it feel like you were hiding. Nice contrast, and nice timing - having the horse moving into the lighter area of sky is a good move, giving you your dynamic. Good colour tone too, and balance of details in both highlights and shadows without the often dumb results of high dynamic range software. A couple of things stop it being a real high-impact shot for me: a slight clumsiness in cropping/framing - unsure about the tree on image right, and the presence of the red sign is a pity, as it visually interferes with the organic flow of the horse's head.

Not bad at all - and it stopped me from the thumbnail, so that's a good sign. A couple of things let the image down, in my opinion, when one gets to 'full size': the crop (or possibly angle of view) just leaves everything too close to the edges - the left wing, the ruck (especially the player who appears to be smiling at someone out of frame), and indeed the ball. Like the black and white though, you've avoided the mistake that a lot of people make of having too much grey.

That Paul character knows a good shot when he sees it, huh?

Ah, good. You've saved me from giving up and going to sit in the garden. A most groovy image.

Very strong composition; particular suggestions of an almost cubist vision, really - that we might see from moe than one angle at once.

Perhaps simply that it's so very ordinary, and yet so very well composed. That all routes through here lead one's eye back to that pale building.

A fine portrait; if he is 'napping', then it seems as if it is a difficult fight to keep out the disturbance, perhaps only the disturbance of that art.

Amazing that a simple glimpse of red always brings to mind 'Don't Look Now'. I like the graininess of this, the sense of a glimpse and then a missingness; like catching something out of the corner of your eye, and when you turn, it's gone.

Marvellous; I feel that I ought to have seen this shot a thousand times, and yet I don't believe I've ever seen it before. Excellent photography.
