| I like this one much better. It doesn't matter to me if it's staged or candid -- I didn't stop to question. What called to me was the pose. The process of completely covering yourself, wrapping yourself into nothingness. Hiding from the world. I'm not like the rest of the crowd; I don't search for deeper meanings in photographs. I wait for them to come and get me. So I'm probably missing out on something truly significant. But this one doesn't slide past, because I know these feelings. This one reached out and grabbed me without me having to go searching. |

I find myself guilty on occasion to mention a quick connection that my mind makes between a photograph and a painting. If I mention a painter or a painting it is not that I compare the photograph with a "higher" form of art.
It's more in the same vein in which Agatha Christie portrayed Miss Marple who always found a link between everything and everyone by just studying the events and people of her little village; a way of understanding.
This is a powerful image (well, heck, Bacon comes to my mind!) in which the elements were treated technically a bit unevenly. While one side is so much like an x-ray , the other side is treated painterly and I lose concentration.
I would certainly mark it high without making it a favorite. |

| Good by me. If I were voting, I'd probably give it a 7. He seems ever so slightly OOF, although that might've possibly been your intent. I like the detail and richness of textures and tones, albeit pretty monochromatic. |
