Contemplating Malevolence
by Cutter

Comment:
So well photographed, the red man, the white man and the shadow; but I too wish less of the observers, just the one in the hat without the white thingy. (And to crop the white thingy you'd lose the hoof, alas ars longa). Still stunning, glad to have seen.

Very different and refreshing colour scheme, an entry that stood out, appropriately "furniture" in an unassuming way. Nice work with the light and the reflections on all the glass.

Nice colour composition, good textures, and genuinely "furniture."

Folding Chair

Comment:
This was my favourite, though I couldn't vote. Tried to leave message to the effect of great understatement - the lonely unpretentious little chair, maybe left there to shell peas, peel potatoes, clean boots - the wash tub, or maybe not, doesn't matter, the scenery, the setting is grand but not spectacular. I dunno, so many entries were trying to make a statement, and this one wasn't.

Dies irae, or some local conflagration? Clouds and rising vapors are stunning against water and plain of buildings, and as I look I realize the dull dun strip of grass is to show an area untouched by cloud/sun/smoke/fire.

Oh this tells me how you feel about your dog. Makes me afraid to even think about doing a dog portrayal (as opposed to dogshots). Non pareil.

The Power of Life

Comment:
Fascinating deployment of tones and light to tell us about this moment. This kind of definition devoutly to be wished.

Good colour in the reflections, but not enough definition or composition to do them justice.

Red Room

Comment:
A problem of what to focus on: the sewn on red heart or the subtle red toned light on the body. Cropping and white counter distracting, but the lighting on torso and arms is very pleasing, and the heavy black framing seems appropriate.
