		| | I love this photograph so much. It's very underrated and should have scored higher. This is one of my favourites too. |

		| | Thank you! Though some critical words would have been helpfull. :)
 
 Instead of picturing the permormance (action takes place in an Opera and Ballet theatre) i show the hidden part, the preparation.
 In that grace-producing house there are ~20 cleaners, who earn 5$ per day. So, with a taste of irony you see the dance of a cleaner in the surreal world of grace.

		| | Your work is simply beautiful. While I wish that your photo had won, or at least placed higher, it would please me even more to continue seeing your work... it's nothing short of inspirational. |

		| | Dramatic, well framed and composed.  Fantastic!  I would actually be interested in having this oneon my wallll.  10+! |

		| | I like the composition, the lighting and the shilouettes, but I don't really get how the subject comes to challenge. Maybe a bit artistic interpreation for my taste. |

		| | fascinating.  What dramatic lighting, attention getting composition, the hands reaching up against the back light, and the little figure hunched over. |

		| | This image is SO cool!  I love it.  At first glance it's like an illusion; the hands appear as though they could be real, but then you see the little person sweeping and you realize something is messing with you.    I love the sepia tint and the silhouetted hands.  Ten, very nice job. |

		| | This is really bizarre and delightful! I'm not sure what it has to do with Grace, but I'll assume I'm stupid and give it a 10! |

		| | Really nice. Where is the display? The lack of details enhances the feeling of being in an alternate universe. The colors work well. I also like the composition. The best thing is how normal the person seems, doing his work, within the scene. |

		| | Coulkd be a very good poster advertisement for a museum. Nice light and silhouettes. |

		| | Wonderful and intriguing shot, but not sure it really says 'Grace' to me. 7 |

		| | great image, very elegant, interesting, stimulating, but grace? Oh well, great pic | 
 |

		| | Amazing fresque. Duotone works well to enhance these shadows. Nice reflections too, but I would crop out  1/6 of the bottom to give a better balance to your image. |

		| | Well I would have to make some philosophical jumps as to how this fits grace, if the world is a stage or a dream of the gods and he wakes up??  But despite my ability to make a clear connection I love that it makes me stop and think about one, and as a photo on its own I find it   truly delightful.  The lighting is superb and the size of the hands vs the size of the person, is great. |

		| | This is a suberb photo,  I am not sure how it applies to grace.  Could you please explain it to me.  I love this and would make a great print!!!! |

		| | I don't know that is something I'd consider graceful but it certainly has lots of visual impact - it's quirky, interesting, beautifully lit with wonderful shadows and a warm tone. The position of the person onstage also adds a lot of interest. |
