With such a beautiful and detailed landscape, I think the subject here should have been more simple for maximum effect. I would have liked a stronger composition as well. Starts an intriguing story though.
6 - I like the effort, but it is not strange enough (I know) for me - as in, looks too staged, maybe a much bolder crop on the left, to eliminate 'normality', who knows. The compositional balance is also out - what with that lonely lamp on its own on the right there and all. I like that element. Fairly minor, but there seems to need a whisker nudge up on the left.
This resists all my attempts to understand, explain, or even comment on it, it is so awesomely amazingly brilliant. I looked at it for 10 min. before I saw the 4th lamp. The mirror (I think it is a mirror?) is a stroke of genius. If I could give it 10 twice, I would.
I see a lot of these juxtapostion shots that I don't honestly understand. Top Hat's, umbrellas, eggs, nudes, jumping fish, birds nests, old telephones, clocks, dried flowers, leafless trees etc. all placed together in frame... I need to know why?
This is the "odd = fine art" school, a school I don't agree with. It's weird, I give you that, but is it you? Is there anything being said or shown here that you really care about? In my view, that's the definition of fine art; that the photographer communicated something. Weird is everywhere, and therefore is not unique or interesting. Technically, a fine photo, suitably sharp, b/w well done, depth of field perfect, light wonderful, composition pleasing.
This shot is so much fun to look at. The clouds are amazing and great detail throughout the entire frame. Very creative and unique. I give you one of a few 10's I handed out but this is my very top pick. Love it.
