I start with:
then rotated, resized to 2x3 pixels, desat, levels adjust (for just the right shade of grey), then resized again to 160x240 (bicubic smoother).
Minimal, five ways to Sunday.

Your photo in or out, would have fared better in the light challenge, especially if you titled it lean forward and back. I love your collection of lenses. Your picture of a flicker makes me hesitant to ask my question, but you asked for it so here goes:
In photo shop, for color management, for the working rgb color space, I am permitted to specify the color space of my trinitron monitor. However, when I do save for web, it changes the color space to srgb which looks awful on my monitor. But, if I specify the working color space as srgb, the colors do not change when I do save for web. By the way, most all of the photos on the web look fine on my monitor and those that I edit using srgb as my working rgb color space, are not criticised by voters but those I edit using the trinitron color space are.
By the way, if you do understand color spaces, would you please comment on my entry to the surrealism challenge.
I think the problem here is that the image is to small and just feel apart when I opened it...sorry for the low score but I see more pixels than photo.
Maybe my mind isn't open enough for this kind of art, but I can't tell what you wanted to express by this photograph. And it's too small. I don't give that many 1, but I can't find any reason to give more than that, sorry.
I made the same mistake of sizing my photo way too small in my first challenge, scored really low because of it, boy was that a long week! Can't see that this is a photo of anything but a grey background. Good luck in future challenges.
Sorry, but I don't see "any" subject matter other than the light/shadow/darkness. Interesting concept, but I don't see it as especially indicative of the topic...
Not sure what this is supposed to be a picture of, which makes it hard to judge. I don't see a main subject here (unless it is the reflection of light), so it doesn't seem to meet the challenge requirements. If the subject is the light (or the gray color of the background), it still does not meet the challenge IMO because it takes up so much of the image space.
