Great GREAT JOB,Jimmy!!! I love the lighting on this! Yeah, I too would have thought much higher than 6.0, but congratulations on another top 20! You're awesome :)

Excellent composition! Very well shot - nice crisp lines, detail is perfect, black and white was an excellent choice! The lighting on this is very well done - just enough to present the subject. This has a sort of 'nostalgic' feel to it. When I first viewed it I thought of old time radio shows where all the sound effects were produced on stage live with the performers - those big sheets of metal they would suspend so they could rattle them for thunnder and lightning sounds or even a vaudeville act of old theater. Very well done Jimmy!

One of my top picks - this should have placed higher. Love the low key treatment.

One of my favorites. Clearly the rope is the main subject, but it definitely makes me imagine the setting and what other things might be around it.

I like this shot a lot and I'll be interested to see how it fares once voting ends. My first reaction was 'where was this for Black and White in Color'. Very cool lighting and dark feeling to the shot. The one thing I don't care for here is the vertical rope leaning to the left. It throws the picture off balance and it creates a problem for the eye by making the horizontal metal shaft 'appear' to be not quite horizontal. Other than that, really nice shot. Hope it does ok.

I love this picture, I've been looking at it for quite a while trying to identify what's refraining me from giving it a 10. I'm not an expert but I think that if it was cropped a little more at the left, making the picture bigger at the same time, it would have been better. Just my humble opinion, 8

Very mysterious tone. Makes me think of the phantom of the opera. Nice clear picture.

No fuss. Straight to the point. Simple and beautiful.

a tad more contrast would have made this pop a little more IMO - 8

Excellent sharpness and tonality; great composition, too. I really like this shot; its simplicity manages to be just perfect, not becoming simplistic.
