that does not compute

This is great ... agree with all the comments left. Coming back to add a few more thoughts as this shot stayed in my mind as I was off commenting on some of the other shots .. I am a real sci fi nut - love campy fifties shows - the swamp thing - the blob .. and I can see this as a poster for a sci fi movie in that era .. It has the perfect feel of an authentic shot from then .. the film strip, the ink running down into the frame ..the robot would be so futuristic for those times .. this is one heck of a great shot for a genre of movies and books I love.

This is a great shot - his face just grabs your attention and you spend awhile on it, looking at the texture and the difference of expression in each of his eyes .. the oof b/g is perfect because his presence is what this photo is all about and nothing should distract from that..different from your other work but on the same level.

Reading through the comments on this photo I see he is your son. He is an amazing model - not only handsome but he has presence - he holds his pose and it's an uncommon one .. his expression tells a story ... many stories depending on the viewers imagination. Your pping is amazing - I think I am so outclassed on this sc that I will stick with shooting birds and just watch you all from a distance. :)

Just wow again .. I have been living in a shell in that I didn't know your work .. amazing .. I can't imagine what I am going to find in your layers folders. The shadow in this shot, especially the tail of the horse mimics the curve of the mountain - impressive.

When I saw your name on the sc list, I realized I didn't know your work so I thought I would go and have a peek and this was my first peek. Wow. What an excellent photo - a masterful use of the fish eye - I would love to walk that road in the fog - the reflection is understated but perfect. I love the bush in the f/g. The composition is outstanding as is your choice in the dual tone tint.

Now I have to go and look some more. I love finding new (to me) photographers I admire.

Congratulations on the front page for this shot .. it's a great street shot (of which I stink at) It meets the challenge.. it has all the elements of a good story, a sad one but that's OK as DP often has too many rainbows and flower stories .. I love the pattern of the bricks she is walking on.. the fact that her face and body are a silhouette really make for a better composition.. what is the b/g? I love that I don't know and I can make up my own story about it .. just an amazing street shot and I am so glad to see it on the front page.

I have to admit I thought this would place higher although the front page is nothing to sneeze at unless you are allergic to an unjust 2 and a 3 vote (even a 4 on this shot)on a photo that meets the challenge perfectly, is beautifully photographed, is interesting, has drama, is unusual, meets technical guidelines such as rule of thirds etc, wonderfully pped ...but what the heck - you made the front page, congratulations! ahchoo - where is my claritin?

Perfectly meets the challenge, wonderful, interesting textures, crisp focus, fascinating shadows ... what 3 idiots gave this a 3? I won't tell you what I think about the people who gave you a 4 vote (grin) No I don't try to win popularity contests .. I just love this shot and congratulations on placing 6th .. doing my happy dance for you! By the way, it's a rumba!

There could be 9000 more glass shots and I will enjoy each one because they are all as unique as a landscape, seascape or any other type of shot... unique according to the photographers vision of it .. I am enjoying your take on this glass shot .. wonderfully done, suits the challenge, beautifully photographed and congratulations on your ribbon.
