etabeta

great subject, well framed, very engaging


bobkatz

i love the texture here, and how the lines on the foot go perpendicular to the bed lines. very moody, and not in a bad way. hotel chelsea, 1974, saturday afternoon in october...


petronius

would i have done this? could i have pulled this off if i had done it? who knows. what i do know is that this is a very ballsy picture and done poorly it would have been a bad cliche. but it's not done poorly. it's done very well, and it ends up being evocative, provocative and very clever. full marks to the author.

dantes's "CV15". I love the clouds.

Walter Leporati's "Dog & Love" - this is just excellent.

I find that the downward slope leads my eye to the subjects and beyond very nicely.

Been busy this week, however I still have two picks:

ChEc, super play of light and reflections, I especially like how the position of the riders legs were captured.

Bogotron, this really holds my interest, I'm still working at figuring out if is reflections or a double exposure. Really doesn't matter it's an original and great shot.

I like the composition and total look of the scene.

Thanks for the mention Brad.
I don't expect a lot of love for polaroid shots around here, so it's much appreciated.

I'm enthralled by the vantage point, the inclusion of foreground in the composition, and total scope of the scene.

The road crossing the frame diagonally and its starkness contrasts so well with the snow to give it great strength.
