I'm amazed that DPC voters were able to appreciate this subtle, sophisticated photograph but could not grasp the full beauty of ubique's photo. Is it simply a matter of sharp focus? The mind boggles.
I'm a sucker for minimalist B&W photographs; for the things that are undeniably there but left unsaid. This is quite different from those pictures where the photographer suppresses or removes all of the background to "eliminate distractions", which is almost always a puerile and artless intervention that reduces the photograph to an improbable cartoon. In this picture the things not visible are nonetheless all there for the viewer to enjoy, with a wee bit of imagination. Into my own top ten, and thank you.
This one is so compelling, I can't take my eyes off this image. I can only imagine how much those hands have felt and her eyes have seen in her lifetime.
I haven't handed out a verineat for a while, but I feel I have too with this amazing image. 10
that's one of my favorite photos in this challenge! what did you use for B&W conversion? It's such a terrific light (love the purse rim), especially for the public transportation! :-) Hand looks fragile and strong at the same time...10
