Wow. Another really beautiful image from your eyes. I like everything about it except the title. Stalker, to me, means something akin to hunter or chaser, and the girl in this image doesn't look like a stalker to me. But I'm nitpicking - because the image is so beautiful :)
Often post-challenge commentators will note with astonishment the handful of voters who scored an image as a 1 or 2. But in the case of this adventurous work, a number of such scores has to be inevitable; and if they truly hated it, well OK, they've got to go low. But what I can't understand here is the great mass of voters scoring it in the 4 to 6 range. Almost 60% of all votes! How so many people can simply be indifferent to this image is beyond belief. You must either love this, or you loathe it ... anything in between is just intellectual sloth.
Probably my favourite in the whole challenge because it's so different. It looks more like a painting than a photo, with just rough strokes thrown around to give the impression of the scene rather than any strong defined shapes. Other than that I can't say why I like it so much, and it's better left that way. You've certainly managed to produce an interesting piece of art from something I would never have even pointed my camera at.
I liked this very much when I first saw it during a thread on impressionism and like it still. It conveys absolutely a sense of the moment, a sense of the sound, smell and feel of that wet rain and the motivation of that rushed individual racing along the street. Composition works well. Strong lighting is well used. 8
This pic has really great lines and colors I cant think of a single thing I would change. Not sure why this isnt in my favorites yet since I have already looked at it about ten times. Everytime I am in your portfolio I think I look at it. It has a very fitting title which makes you feel as the viewer to be the stalker with insanity in your brain. You know you got my 10
Can't remember who took this one, but no matter I really like the impressionistic effect here (and I generally don't go for these types of shots so thats saying something). The wet street does wonders for this image. 9.
Hmmm. These shots are in the class 'love 'em or hate 'em' I think that they have merit and you have made a good shot here. The sense of movement works well, perhaps a little burnt out in the highlights..
This is a very disturbing image, and the frenetic technique you have used is perfectly suited to the title. Which came first; the treatment or the title? Either way ... 9.
What energy! The motion blur works so well to convey the moment! Like the way the highlights on her leg blend with the wet pavement and yet detail is there in the rest of the image. It took me awhile to understand your title as the shadow of the stalker doesn't jump out at first--so nice when I finally "get it".
