nice motion blur, but no abstractness scores this poorly in this challenge. Beyond that, the lines in the background and the pnuematic hose curving in and out of the bottom edge hurt the composition. Needs a bit more midtone contrast and more detail in the blacks to really pop as a B+W. Nice try.
Oh boy, T&G hardwood floor installation. Makes my lower back ache just looking at this.
I would've liked a bit more contrast on this. Maybe more "abstractness," but that's all sorta personal opinion, I guess.
i like the processing. the contrast is nice and i think b&w works very well. his sweatshirt and jeans seem a bit too dark, but that could also be my monitor.
