I like the composition and B&W here. Good texture also.

nice
07/21/2002 05:43:00 PM
Nice B&W study. Slight diagonal is interesting.
07/21/2002 09:44:00 AM
beautiful txture
07/21/2002 02:29:00 AM
I like the black and white, the composition, but somehow I think I should be seeing an older lock on this door, and the image seems slightly out of focus.
07/21/2002 01:23:00 AM
Real Nice B&W work....
07/21/2002 01:08:00 AM

Excellent work. Great subject and execution. 9-ClubJuggle

great potential and composure, just needs more light on the left side.
07/19/2002 04:13:00 AM
Nice detail, but I feel the focus shoudl be more on the locker. It seems like plank is better focused.
07/19/2002 03:09:00 AM
Unique. B&W works well here
07/19/2002 12:12:00 AM
Just look at all the lovely TEXTURES in this photo...wait..what week is this? Nice job.
07/18/2002 10:57:00 PM
Bottom of the lock is out of focus, so what its a really good shot.
07/18/2002 09:18:00 PM
simple, strong, I like it. Don't LOVE it, but I like it. I love wooden doors. Looks rustic, like a door I had in the country.
07/18/2002 06:07:00 PM
simple, pretty, effective. very nice.
07/18/2002 01:12:00 PM
crisp.. clear.. contrast.. angles.. shadows.. composition.. this photo contains all of the elements that I think make up a good black and white... excellent shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Nice choice for black and white, and I like the placement of the lock
07/18/2002 08:59:00 AM
nice textures, lights and darks on lock; lot of gray on background maybe needs more lights and darks also
07/18/2002 12:59:00 AM
interesting study in B&W makes me want to open it and go inside
07/17/2002 09:55:00 PM
very nicely done.
07/17/2002 05:57:00 PM
VERY Cool photo - WHAT talent - Love it - the angle, the texture(of course that's next week), the silver, shadows - all of it - Excellent work.

If you would have had the lock just a slight bit to the left, so it is a little more off center I think it would have looked better. But nice just the same.
07/17/2002 01:33:00 PM
good choice of neutral tones.
07/17/2002 12:33:00 AM
Very visually appealing shot. The heavy shadows on the left are a little much for me. All around nice photo.

nice black and white 8

Great picture. Excellent lighting and focus. (nice lock too)
07/16/2002 02:35:00 PM
such a simple picture and idea .. that's what makes it a beautiful shot - g04t
07/16/2002 01:08:00 PM
I like this one a lot( a bullet hole through the lock would have been neat.)( hard to do though.)Nice lighting,focus and real good use of angle of view!!!
07/16/2002 10:07:00 AM
I love B&W and this is a perfect example of why I love it. The textures and the lights and darks of this photo are great. I love the angle and cropping...perfect to me all the way around. KDJohnson - 10

Nice texture, angle and lighting quality.
07/16/2002 07:12:00 AM
mmmmmmmmm :)
eerie
07/16/2002 03:40:00 AM
I thought the subject matter was rather boring, but technically, this, to me, looks like a perfect photo... and after staring at it for a few minuites.... There's something about it that keeps my eye interested. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I ended up changing my vote.
07/16/2002 02:50:00 AM
this is such an excellent shot. I love the way it tells a story. also great lighting and contrast, not to mention good composition. I like all the diagonal lines. Reminds me of "forceps" from the fear challenge.
07/15/2002 11:51:00 PM
Nice angle and detail.
07/15/2002 10:56:00 PM
yes, it certainly is
07/15/2002 07:23:00 PM
Normally not a fan of tilted photos, but it really works for this photo.
07/15/2002 05:15:00 PM
Like it, simple and speaks volumes to me. Good tones. Kee
07/15/2002 04:46:00 PM
Good focus, I like the b&w. Theres something cool about this image looks like i'll have to give it a ten ;)
07/15/2002 04:14:00 PM
I like this....a lot
07/15/2002 04:07:00 PM
I love the toning on this, and how you turned such a seemingly uninteresting subject into something so powerful.
07/15/2002 01:43:00 PM
A good study in black and white. Did you try this a vertical framed shot? (not thrilled with the right hand side) 6 Swash
07/15/2002 12:52:00 PM
nice...
07/15/2002 11:09:00 AM
I like shots like this
07/15/2002 10:02:00 AM
A strong, clean shot :-)
07/15/2002 08:53:00 AM
Too much to the right and too dark on the left. I would have enjoyed this image more had it been vertically oriented with most of the right side cropped out.
07/15/2002 03:56:00 AM
The cobwebs + dust add a wonderful feel against the woodgrain to the photo.
07/15/2002 02:02:00 AM
Good composition and subject. Can't really find anything to criticize.
