great composition abstracting what could have easily been "yet another" head shot. nice tie-in of the hat and earring, and with the square format, the negative space really works well, too.

fun abstract, but since you are already digitally putting it together (eeek, I assume....) I'd edit out the errant shadow and pots etc in the bottom left frame.

nice. black and white, pink and blue: good use of contrasts and metaphor. I'd tighten up the composition to square so as to even things up though, otherwise, in my twisted opinion, more emphasis is given to the model that isn't clipped off on the right

nice composition, and the eyes make it for me in that they make the viewer want to know what has caught T&e's individual attentions.

Thank you for your comments! Exposure was definitely an issue that day, but you've described Matt to a tee: butch, grainy, and definitely out of centre

Thank you for the comments. Jesse, my friend and the photog in center frame, were shooting the RNC events together, and after trying to get shots of the display without people, we just stopped trying. At that point, he was focusing on one of the demonstrators, and I thought it looked good as well to have several vantage points subtlely (sp?) in view. He also is more of a long shooter, 80-200 on the camera most of the time, and me, I walk around with a 20 on most of the time and get right in the face of things. On another note, what got me really going about this display was a) how quiet people were, and how respectful of it, but also, b) how distraught people became when the organizers starting reading off the names of the fallen soldiers and Iraqi civilians (they read them in alpha. order by state, then read 20 or so Iraqi names, and then repeat thru 2000 or so names)

nice 'slice of life' photo...emotional and the soft depth of field around the musician frames him nicely

dramatic lighting and framing, but, if you are going for photoart and not journalism, cheat: photoshop out the distracting side elements on the upper left

question: whose art is it? yours? the sculptor's? or the programmer of the charcoal filter in photo editor?

artwork of other artwork, in this case, a photograph of a pair of statues, is always difficult to pull off without looking like a snapshot or postcard. I'd revisit these and make the composition more abstract: tighten and level the scene, make sure the uplights in the ground are both fully in the frame, and then line it up so the black bullet light posts converge behind the markers on equal angles. and then, take two shots, one with and one without someone on the bench, and see which one works better.

I love high contrast images like this one. Given you've placed this in architecture, however, I am not sure how far you want to go with the abstract. It's a bit distracting that the right tip of clouds/sky leaves the canvas. Thus, I'd suggest either cropping tighter so that all the areas bleed, or, cheat with some photoshop and bring in the black area. See my quick stab in the attached file. In the first one, it's less abstract and perhaps more architectural, whereby in the second, it's definitely all about the contrasts. IMHO.
