OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: This one has my eyes dancing - the window in the centre draws the eye to begin with before it dances to the hanging door and then flits to the sign towards the bottom right. I really like the peripheral blur. The touch of brown colour in the middle is compelling too.
Critical stuff: nothing really
Overall: One of those images that is more than the sum of its part. Great stuff.
Brave entry for the free study! The minute this one opened I was taken aback, while there's nothing obviously interesting in this scene, I actually find the shot very interesting indeed. I find myself staring into that large black square in the middle of the frame, then to the door and then back again. Very interesting!
WOW .. !!
this is brilliant .. love how you've managed to do softness and grungy in the same image .. this appeals to me so much .. excellent in every way .. i'm not voting yet but wanted to comment anyway .. :)
