Emily Ferguson, Milkweed. This is a fascinating and powerful abstract that suggests all sorts of moods and movement. Part of it looks like a dancer, other parts strange exotic animals. It works! Trevor Cunningham, small leaf detail. This looks like a plan for a housing development with zillions of cul de sacs, a surreal place of little or no exits. Just in time for Halloween. But then that American entertainment isn't done in the UK, is it? Sherie Taylor, Halloween. This is either sad or an example of dark humor. What, could the departed want with pumpkins, spooks and goblins? But then maybe he/she loved it, and his/her survivors are humoring him/her. Christopher Strevens, My first success. This reminds me of my first success building a crystal radio receiver, which consisted of a Quaker Oats cylinder wrapped with enamled wire, a variable capacitor, and a chunk of silvery crystal touched by a cat whisker-like probe. The longer I made my single-wire antenna, the more stations I pulled in, especially on a clear night. Michael Hughes, October evening on Barton Water.

Pini Vollach, duo There's not much here that is representative of Chelsea, but the juxtaposition is interesting. Don Roberts, Fall Corn Field. Were this in my viewfinder, I'd stoop down or raise the camera over my head to see if I could move the top of the little tree off the horizon. Now, it seems to me that if you were really serious about showing PhotoForum members what it's like where you live and work, you'd spend some time on making the quality of the image as high as possible.
