This is a cool shot - I gave it an 8. It has some problems, but they are balanced out by the quirkiness of the whole thing. Too bad you didn't get a better score.
I love the subject here but I think the technicals are a little chaotic. I think that without the blondish head in the lower right corner I would like it a lot more. I'm curious to see where this was taken, because that is a scary tree!
This just doesn't work for me... nothing is level, but it's not out of level enough to be 'artsy'...one person is in focus and there are some parts of other people... I don't know what you were trying to say... but I really hope others can see it...for I fear that this won't score highly. *sigh*
This is terrific, and the fact that it's so oddly composed and blurred makes it all swim uncertainly around the protagonist's head. I suppose it's more correctly a reverse panopticon, in that a single point (the man) is seen from everywhere else. When seen in a flock like this, those CCTV cameras are even more malevolent-looking, aren't they?
I did not know the meaning of the work, and I searched Wiki
"The Panopticon is a type of prison building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in 1785. The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the prisoners being able to tell whether they are being watched, thereby conveying what one architect has called the "sentiment of an invisible omniscience."[1]
an interesting entry - the stillness of the man's head drives our attention to him, but i am torn between looking at him and the woman and that awesome facial expression
This image is much better than a it might appear to a drive-by voter; the focus is exactly where you intended and the imagery you have captured is rich with social commentary.
Really well done! Enough clarity to catch the passing scene.....freeze frame of the subject......good composition.....high interest & weirdness factors....I like this! 8
