Art Feeds Us...

It's ironic with the statue's hand. I could find myself more interested if it was a real hand - back to leaving questions in the viewers mind. A really interesting live hand would lead to all sorts of questions - who's the person, where are they. Least for me.

With the statue I see a pun, chuckle and mentally move on. With a small glimpse of a real person, I might linger longer.

Three Mice

Sweet. I want to know what they are waiting on, what train is going to pass in front of them, so they can leave the tunnel. All the leading lines and key stoning of the arch focus attention down to them, even though they are such a small part of the frame. The graffiti on the wall also ends up pointing right to them - yet they are looking somewhere else.

I like that it asks questions but doesn't give answers. Enough ambiguity to make it something to think about, not a straight answer, which can be dismissed easily.

my monitor here is frankly crap, so take this with a cellar of salt.

I like the connection with her, from her gaze and comfortable, forward position. Engaged with the camera, the photographer.

It feels really, really heavy on her left side, in the dark space. So much negative and black space and that semi-rectangular shape that plays off the other black spaces. Perhaps having her slightly more towards the light would have opened up that area. It might have got a bit more catchlight into her left eye which is drowning now too, slipping into that dark chasm.

Her arms appear to belong to a different person, one significantly different colour to the other - again the angle of the light and shadow, interacting with her body.

no contest at all for the brown. Poor show in terms of showing poorly.

I'm surprised this did so badly - looks like a very common impressionistic subject matter, treated in a beautiful way. Mind you - I'm surprised my shot is right next to this too :)
