emotional disproportion-self portrait (they are both me)
by fstopopen

Without the title I don't think I would have caught on that both these images were of yourself. As a photo it has potential although I don't think you quite caught it here. There is a line of shadow running vertically down the face of you in the tie and you in the sweater are far too fuzzy and unfocused. To make a more obvious point about proportion you should have made sure your shirt and tie were much neater. At any rate, I think this is stretching the idea of proportion a bit. Sure there is contrast between a working stiff and a casual guy in a sweater but I don't think that really illustrates proportion or lack of proportion.

This is an interesting idea but I'm not floored by this arrangement. I think it might have been more effective if you had just used the spoons and made a more interesting use of negative space. As it is, the negative space in this composition is static and boring.

This is a very striking abstract image and it meets the criteria. I would prefer more contrast between the shadows and the benches.

Spring loneliness

This is a nice image. It definitely meets the criteria. I wonder if you could have moved in close enough to crop out that strip of soil and still made the statement? Perhaps framing it horizontally would have allowed you to keep the expanse of sky yet omit the distracting strip?

Mommy, Me & Baby makes Three

Sorry but this is just a nice snapshot.There are too many distractions and the image is very washed out and lacking in detail. The distractions: a box on the floor behind the boy, a tuft of fur (the dog?) peeping out from the botttom edge, and most of all the edge of that white door and its stained glass panel. Another problem is you can't see mom's face. Even though it meets the criteria in terms of subject matter, I have to vote low on this one.

This is an interesting idea in regards to the challenge. What in the world is this place? I'm distracted by that red car in front of Gerald Ford but otherwise it looks pretty good. Is it about to hit him? :D

I just looked at this picture again. emailed a link to my husband sitting at his computer in the other room because this kind of humour is right up his alley--he uses a Sharpie to surprise me with new products in my pantry such as Crap Olive Oil a.k.a. Carapelli and Old Gay seasoning a.k.a. Old Bay. Anyway, a second look made me realize that the ivy creeping along the side of the building looks like an upright bear. Too bad you couldn't have managed a 'bear erection'.

I'm sorry I didn't get to this shot before the voting was done. I think this really captured a serendipitous moment in the mist that frames the pair from above. I would have liked the horses (or are those cows) to be in a bit sharper in focus. Perhaps if you had moved in a few feet closer?

Nowhere, High and Dry

This image definitely meets the criteria of the challenge in terms of subject matter. The subject is framed nicely off-center in the foreground with the road leading the eye into the distance. I would like to see a bit more excitement in terms of color and value.

This is a very nice portrait. I like the use of sepia. There is lots of detail in the her skin and the highlights in her eyes. However, as subject matter it doesn't meet the criteria for the challenge.
