My interpretations:Art Faul:Sonderhavn: Why can we not see the image brand on the motorcycle? In today’s terms, focus is critical. Does Art think his expressions are without the necessity of the rendering of certain subject matter? It’s Art you know. Also, Is the topic about the motorcycle or the beautifully rendered aged building siding? The bike is in an isolated location, does this express the author’s true _expression_? Imagine a defocused rider, crawling onto this bike, would that have been a greater photograph and less boring?Dan Mitchell:Salvation: A spontaneous image of a common subject. Holidays bring us these not-so-ordinary events, otherwise seen as musicians on the street during the holidays but rarely anytime else. This image is boring, a simple “grab” shot. Or, have I missed something?John Palcewski:Selfie: Great shot. Two problems. First, it seems this would mirror a climatic moment, but there is unfortunately a “posed (stand right there!)” feel to this shot. Secondly, the right eye is gone. If there is a patch, then more fill flash would have been required. If the patch is in place (and this is only assuming the darkness of that eye area is based on something otherwise, not obviously expressed) a small fill light to highlight an edge of the patch would have finished this otherwise great image. If in fact, there is no patch, then as some may assume, there is a bad area in the shadows.Bob McCulloch:Looking At Liberty: Would this image have been stronger if in fact, the center of the Statue would have been linked to the center spike of the officers hat?Yorum Gelman:Café Artist: Wonderful image. Although it appears there is a juxtaposing of an affect plus the image, it works. The author has rendered an otherwise typical scene into something that is dreamscape. Creating an image with “historical” qualities using “todays” technology but mirroring greats such as Man Ray (Aperture Masters of Photography, No. 8 page 31 and 55) by bringing two images together that do not relate.Randy S. Little:Silly image. What’s up with the completely washed out background?As always, it’s just my opinion.GregoryGig Harbor, WA.
