| This deserved a touch higher placement in my book. AWESOME. I hope Mr. Johnson enjoys his new house. He most certainly deserves it. I'd take him a new set of towels. ;~D |

| Awesome Skip!! Couldn't guess this was yours, thought it might be a Goodman shot. Amazing find and fantastic work, IMO underrated here. |

| Outstanding shot, Mr Rowland. Hopefully this was used in a story about Mr Johnson. And hopefully you'll follow up on the story when he gets his new house, too. Thanks again for giving us something real! |

| I did not expect to see my image ahead of this one - even if only by one place. I felt this was such a powerful image on its own - and now enhanced even more by your image comments. This should have been higher. |

| I like this shot but I'm not too sure about the position of the old man. I do like the light behind his head and his hand but seating him to one side, perhaps at a table would have shown more of his surroundings and made him look more at ease. On the other hand posing him in such a confrontational pose, makes ME feel uncomfortable and therefore evokes an emotion in me, which is what I think makes a good photograph. The addition of grain adds to the mood and is wonderful. |

| Great environmental portrait. Very good backlighting with blocked light source. It surrounds him with blown-out areas of light. Excellent effect. This might work without grain, but the grain is appropriate to the mood and looks "natural", not added on later. 9 |

| Tee hee this is what Morgan Freeman's brother looks like... but I expect you've had that comment already. This is so striking. I love the very candid face on pose with the surroundings clearly in view. Photojournalist shot that would do well in "Drum magazine". |

| simple but very effective composition. I like the use of wide-angle lense which makes the kitchne so tiny |

| This is excellent. I love the intensity of it. His sparse setup just screams for the grain. Wonderfully done. I hope he has a nice dinner. |
