58 Apr 26 Reply Thank you! I will self-critique: the blur in the mirror from dirt and water stains. Not to mention it is cropped and enlarged as much as I dared to preserve the motion blur on the pavement. Ah, those moments! Thanks again, and I appreciate the analysis of everyone, from "It's great" to "it sucks." I'm loving this forum. Apr 9th
58 Apr 26 Comment Impressive! The misdirection of his attentiveness away from the "goods" evoked some wild imaginings. . . Just WHAT was he looking at? And why? Meantime- tge counter person is on the phone. Was he saying "everything is okay," or just talking to his wife? The picture is doing what it is supposed to- framework of a story to be told, but we get to fill in the blanks.
I did have a big smile come when I saw the donut growing out of his ear.
Thanks much!

58 Apr 26 Comment This image has an iridescence to it that shows the impact of directional light. The colossalness of the scene could tend to overshadow the sight lines created by the crane boom going up the face, dropping back down following the safety lines (?) from the top, to the workers on the face. The solo observer on the road is apparently the crane operator using a remote control panel. His gaze directed my eyes back up to the workers- again, the focal point. The formation is the glittering canvas and the work being done is the topic, all set against pastel skies.
For the sake of contrast I cropped out the left-most outcrop and the right rock formation and got a different perspective of size compared to the crane and workers. Another picture-within-a-picture as it changes the perceived size of all the elements.
Thank you for giving us so much to analyze, Dr. Vaisman!

58 Apr 26 Comment There's a lot to digest here. At first glance it just seemed "busy," without a clear focal point. Then I realized you did this intentionally, which changed my perception altogether. It is visually cacophonous- not a bad thing when creating eye-catching imagery.
While processing the details, I noted that all of the ladies in the picture are wearing the same style of tops. Some kind of club? You were able to get the "hustle" of the moment, both coming at you and going away from you, as the walk sign is down to 3 ticks.
Bottom line, there's a lot going on here that held my attention for a long time. Great pic!

58 Apr 26 Comment As a composite, this is a highly emotive capture. The image seems to be inviting an observer to initiate some sympathetic conversation, basically from the pouty, hopeless position of her lips. The lines on her face and the placement of her hand all point to those lips, which tell a huge part of the story.
There's also so many pictures-within-the picture. They themselves would be interesting. The rez seems to be sufficient enough to zoom her face, or just her face and hand that her chin is resting on. Even the hand holding the stogie by itself would be an interesting capture. Or a wider crop that would include that hand and the bottle.
This is nicely done and captured my attention for quite a while, my imagination whirling about what the subject is thinking.
Many thanks.
