Stupendous, sinister, categorical photograph. Almost, dare one say, Mephistophelian.

"Getting so much better all the time" (Lennon/Mc Cartney)

Oh but its the newspaper - the sport section; how could this be more affecting than this slightly wrecked old gentleman still pursuing his dreams through the sports reports? And people worry about the exposure on the curtains?

Oh man, I had no idea about this from the thumbnail. You really understand black and white I think Joe - shoot more of it. Now. :-)

Great shot Nick; did you have the nerve to try for one from the front, or was it just not working from that angle? Nice seeing, nice framing.

Sure, with that cheap a sound desk? Still, you were never hoping to sell that story to someone who is a FOH engineer, were you ...

odd one out

Comment:
Rather bizarre. Too small, oddly lit, the cropping is of course also odd, and a sense of over-sharpening and many jpeg artefacts. One might almost think this had been done on purpose ...

Lincoln Cathedral

Quite like the effect of this - there's enough variation here to keep the eye from moving straight on. Perhaps not enough to really entrance, however: there's no sense of real sharpness to it, no sense of texture, which might have helped your cause.

Odd way out.

Comment:
In purely technical terms, I think you'll suffer here for a complication of composition. The light (and therefore shadows) is a bit harsh, particularly in the way it reflects from the coloured pill, and the seemingly random angles of the white pills have no harmony to their arrangement. Artistically - well, it comes across as a very simple statement, very contrived, and lacks much subtlety of message, for me. But I'm not known for my ability to second-guess the voters, I suppose ...

I like this shot - but I really don't like the processing; my first reaction was 'why has this tea-staining effect been added to this?' and only when I read the comments did I even consider that sign. me no see the point.

Conceptually, I like the way this verges on a field of high contrast lines in no regular order; it feels reminiscent, in that sense, of old-fashioned newspaper photographs - you know, the ones that consisted of collections of dots of various sizes. Mother has grace in this image, too - contrasting in its own way nicely with the obvious viciousness of the hunt.
