There is emotion in this. Definitely.

Neat diffraction. I'd also have toyed with 'Segregation on the Seas' as my title choice.

Good color treatment.

excellent processing. The plane has a 1950's classic feel. Enjoyable pic.

Search For Your Hidden Gem

At first, I didn't get it. I thought, "Is this some sort of stupid 'hemp/marijuana' joke?"

BUT. I kept looking. And in the back there, you can see a halo of light surrounding a chapel/synagogue/probably religious building of some sort.

And so you have juxtapositioning.

And it did indeed take a bit of extra looking.

What's clever though is that there is enough general visual interest that your eye wants to keep looking to give the pic the time needed to get that.

Very nicely accomplished. Went from 6 to a 9.

Industrial Door Contractors: Machinist

Reminds me a lot of bear's fantastic example of environmental portraiture and excellent processing on Jim Talbot, Master Bookbinder. (I think that's what it was called).

Very nice tones and good treatment of the shadow/light areas.

I don't know why, but this looks really contrived. It probably actually isn't.

I like the concept though.

An interesting portrait. He seems to be smiling in his eyes, but not so much in his mouth. The processing is a bit strong, but not unpleasant at all.

I like it and I'm allowed to vote high if I want. So there. :)

The Road to Enlightenment

So *that's* what enlightenment looks like! I see it up in the clouds! Extra points for me?

Not likely. But I'll toss an extra one at you for your Hidden Gem.
