I thought this was excellent and I am one of the four tens you received. To me this is an excellent example of zen photography as opposed to many photos that were examples of zen gardens and serene scenes. great job.
I really like this shot and remember it well from the challenge..I like this kind of shot...there you are walking along and you see something that requires you to stop and process and engage your mind with...and from this simple wall you have found a genuine relationship..one that is fleeting...two shadows try to meet, but can't quite make it work..the one on the right looks enough like a face to really make it beautifully weird...
The shadows are a major distraction for me. Fits the challenge and is well composed, but better lighting could have made it great
I don't understand. You are saying that you don't like the shadows here, but that the shot is well composed. Take away the shadows, and what's left of the image? What is well composed, then?
GREAT title. I like the right silhouette almost resembling a person's profile. The diagonal lines created by the shadows is nice against the vertical and horizontal of the bricks and mortar. I might work with levels to deepen the overall tones, but other than that... nice. 7
