The Shining Crescent

Comment:
Reminiscent of something, though i can't recall what. Brian Harris perhaps. Love the tones around the curves of the minaret, particularly, and of course the framing of the crescent.

Strangely enough, the 'validation notice' makes me wonder what might have been thought 'illegal' about this shot. I would guess it's a window frame taken to the shoot with you, but that really is a guess.

It's very well executed, though the scene beyond seems slightly washed out - lacking a touch of contrast, ofr a real punch.

Out of Liverpool Street heading up towards Hackney, yes? I live in Bow, and think I probably have photos taken at almost exactly the same time - from very nearly the same angle, just a little further away - the placement of the gherkin and the Nat West Tower (as it shall ever be called), are almost exactly the same as the view from my window as I sit here typing ... really quite a creepy effect. I rmember that contrast of yellow/orange and blue light, and that weather front that swept across ... how very very wierd to see this here.

Good shot too - especially love the fact that the only reference to a window is those reflections, and yet it's so clearly taken through a wndow.

Really like this - and in general, I absolutely loathe the selective desturation trick. here it seems to have pint, emphasis, and a fittingness to the image beyond the very blunt 'look at this' that it is ususally employed to shout. great feel, great depiction ofan emotion (the warmth of home, however temporary, perhaps). Just a wonderful photograph, really.

To head this little grouping of yourself, Gordon, David and I is a rare privilege. Great shot, or perhaps image, but I'm afraid it didn't speak of chaos to me ... but then, evidently, my own approach didn't apeak strongly of chaos to many either.

Good to see a properly mathematical approach to the subject ... though as you expected, it was misunderstood. A privilege to be a neighbour in the placings too ... in fact a little grouping of some seriously talented photographers.

You keep good company, may I say? Look at the shots around you (or more particularly the photographers) in this challenge's placings.

What, I haven't commented yet? Many congratulations on (yet) another ribbon David. Worthy of Brian Kossof, if it weren't for the aspect ratio: obviously your studying has paid off :-)

Messy

The fine line between chaos and mess, and I'm not quite convinced you're on the right side of it. Not thhat I think it's possible to vote with that in mind, really. My first reaction is that this is lacking in contrast, both in subject matter and in processing - obviously the tonal range through out the image is very broad, but I think that pile of sticks lacks strong definition, and it would sit more happily in the composition with the tarpaulin covered thing if it were more defined.

Reminiscent of M. Beguin ... not only in the treatment of tone and contrast, but in the slightly unorthodox but yet effective composition. Oh to have this kind of eye ...
