That Paul character knows a good shot when he sees it, huh?

Ah, good. You've saved me from giving up and going to sit in the garden. A most groovy image.

The Fountain
by fmaggi

Comment:
Very strong composition; particular suggestions of an almost cubist vision, really - that we might see from moe than one angle at once.

Comment:
Perhaps simply that it's so very ordinary, and yet so very well composed. That all routes through here lead one's eye back to that pale building.

Napping House

Comment:
A fine portrait; if he is 'napping', then it seems as if it is a difficult fight to keep out the disturbance, perhaps only the disturbance of that art.

woman in red

Comment:
Amazing that a simple glimpse of red always brings to mind 'Don't Look Now'. I like the graininess of this, the sense of a glimpse and then a missingness; like catching something out of the corner of your eye, and when you turn, it's gone.

California Street, San Francisco

Comment:
Marvellous; I feel that I ought to have seen this shot a thousand times, and yet I don't believe I've ever seen it before. Excellent photography.

"Here Comes the Sun" - George Harrison

Comment:
Now, this is a gorgeous photo, reminiscent of some of the really early photography. I like the hints of suggestions of elements around the figure, which might almost be imagination filling in the holes your image leaves us, and the childlike rendering of the sun.

Cutaway to Abstraction
by pointandshoot

Comment:
Quite apart from the headlessness, which is intensely appealing, I would agree that the right is an abstraction of the left: one could make that a political standpoint and still be taken seriously, almost. Personally, I would call it more of a cubist representation of the right, but there you go. I like that there is a head in the abstraction though, and not in the 'real'.

Comment:
There's a quality of degeneration from the hard lines of a geometry into faded edges of what ought to be planar that I really like here; it seems so simply euclidean in its geometry, but then you notice the apparent curvature of those planes ... Also, the Picabian references are rather neat. I kind of wish I'd had the patience to plough through the whole challenge when I see this (and there a truly grand compliment).
