Happy New Year from me as well!
first a couple of observations from my point of view ...

> Lew Schwartz - I like this although to some degree it is also a depressing situation. I find it hard to figure out if it is uplifting or depressing.
> Art Faul - Home Heating, Bov - conveys IMO the feeling of motion and the process of fuel delivery. The contrast may be a bit too high or just the shadows a bit too dark.
> Mark Harris - On the Rock - personally I am not a fan of nudes lying on rocks or draped over trees. Somehow I find the situations incongruous (?). Other than that I think the composition is effective. Model did a good job with positioning of her feet.
> Andrew Davidhazy -
No manipulation really. Basically it is Sabattier but of a Polaroid 667 negative which generally is tossed away as useless garbage. I decided to turn that negative to a positive that is all. The border comes along with the process. These days similar results can be easily made by using digital image adjustment tools (PS for example). Similar but not the same. Here are a couple of early articles I wrote about this:
