Half Alive

Fun to be verging on the quality of absolute chaos: I'm curious to know how muich further one could go before losing all sense of real-world reference in an image such as this. Great fun. Have to say I hate the border trick, however - seems completely naff compared with the riot of the image.

A parade of ghosts; I enjoy the roughness of this, though perhaps the slightly off-square framing adds a dynamic that isn't in the end helpful? And of course, I think ot cries out to be black and white - I don't think the dirt and sootiness of it would be lost, and the parade of shapes might be enhanced. Fine work.

Wonderful, and the dog just the finishing touch.

Somehow seems to be not quite in focus: perhaps just lacking a degree of sharpness. I quite like the amount of negative space, and the refusal to include all the apples in frame; down-side is the slightly blue tinge to the background, which feels a little sickly to my eye.

At first I liked that semi-vignette, now if feels like there's something in my eye. Love the picture, really, but I'm unconvinced about that - it seems both a little over-done, and a little heavy-handed. Still the best shot in the challenge so far, though.

I like your processing of this, just enough weight in the shadows, and just enough bang in the light; it's all made, of course, by the young Isaac Newton to image left.

Well, I guess it is at least shot on the street; although of course the posed shot, and the overly portentous subject are probably too much of a push for the genre really.

Seems almost stage-set-like - perhaps simply the two-dimensional appearance of the house-front. Took me a while to see and register the pair of shoes. The light is strange though - the spot-lit nature of the boxes, without any apparent source for that light, which takes away, for me, some of the impact - it gives it a sense of being staged.

Full impact. Not a lot more to say, is there?

I love the door - the fact that it appears to be locked; looks like you could push the whole door, frame and all, over with one finger.
