good conversion 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/27/2006 09:14:26 PM
I like this a lot but the jacket hanging on the fence and the garden hose in the background are distracting in this particular composition. I'd like to see a little more breathing room around the outsides of the frame, particularly to the right and along the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This made me stop and think...some were sad, some happy...who? we'll never know. Very reflective photo which tells a lot.

Effective use of sepiatone. Very moody.

It's a pretty cool photo, but I think the contrast is hiked up a little too much, because there seems to be a loss in detail in the helmet and clothing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/25/2006 06:06:07 PM
good
10/25/2006 05:47:26 PM

Nice shot. Good light/shadow contrast. I think duotone works very well here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/25/2006 12:42:37 AM
I think these other things distract. It would be more impressive with a lonely helmet on the bench, IMHO.
overall score: comp-2,MC-2,PP-2,impression-1,wow-1 = 8.
