... and I heard somebody singing sweet and soulfulby pawdrixComment: This shot has some elements that lend themselves to your comments. The first thing that seemed so powerful to me was the clouds through the cross. It gives a three-dimensional presence to a two-dimensional image and yet the feeling goes deeper because of how you've framed it. I wish the tenements and the lines didn't have a slight tilt to them but that's just an annoyance in the face of an inspiring image so who cares. The buildings at bottom help to anchor the setting for the cross. They remind viewers that people are involved in this setting; it's not all power and majesty and whatnot. The righthand side of the image, however, is perhaps the most providential element of your photo. I don't know if you just meant to anchor the image with the fire escapes but that veritable wall of metal works on several levels for me. Firstly it is a mechanism for people to escape in a bad situation, secondly it demonstrates how people have tried to rise above their means; we're always trying to grow ourselves beyond our basest points and, finally, it is out of this mangle of metal that the cross extends. I'm not meaning this in any metaphorical sense because I don't think theology is subjective but this image presents several facets of human experience that I find intriguing. Then again, maybe it's just a shot of a cross hanging from the side of a building. I like the dimensions of this, too. Thanks for sharing. :) |

Samantha__00365 - small.jpgby KevinRiggsComment: Hehe. I offered from my somewhat extensive assortment of shoes but she wanted something that was her style and while your tastes and mine run similar it appears that such is not the fashion for at least some high schoolers. Likewise we had other jeans but that was her choice for an outfit and it really does suit her personality; it is casual and easy-going.
Thanks for the comments. |

bitsby annahComment: I think Kels dead on with her comment. You are a lovely subject but the combination of the composition and the effects applied to the shot really make this a wonder piece of work. Great job. |

1935 - B&Wby KevinRiggsComment: Funny thing is that it works better without them in color (to me). I just always like that relaxed look better but I have to admit that this would have a much better feel in B&W with the shoes ON. :)
You make me laugh. |
