i'm not how well i like the wide crop for this image, the left and right images work well together but the transition through the middle loses me as all i see is color noise. the whole image in marred by some sort of color noise, and while that may be intentional, i think i would have preferred it removed since it draw too much attention from the subjects.
Lovely colors used to water color effect. The somewhat choppy movement from left to right well supports the mysterious ambiguity of the men exiting the image. Coolly provocative. I like it very much.
I find this incredibly poignant. Something about the tripartite composition, with the central, warped section walling off the figures from the flowers, defies its own stagnancy, seeming to underline a fundamental alienation. Or I'm just blowing happy smoke :-) But it works for me...
Interesting, artsy image, and it connects well with the title. It's just not grabbing my attention. Still, I'm giving it a 6 for visual interest a clear artistic vision.
