What an INTERESTING photograph. I totally didn't get around to this one during the challenge but i love the composition, simplicity and the different textures. It all comes together in a dynamic and thought provoking image. great job!

One of my fav photos in the last weeks. Brilliant concept and truly artistic composed. That photo inspired me. One of these days, I̢۪ll notify you to see my version of this wonderful image. Thanks.

I guess I need to get into your portfolio more often! This is very imaginative and well done. I would have given it a 9. Definitely should have been in the top ten!
05/31/2007 11:11:18 AM
I thought this would be in the top ten, at the very least! It certainly deserved to be... :) Ah well. Beautiful, striking shot.

Ahem....what's going on in that head of yours? I love it. Very nice finish.

Posthumous Yellow Ribbon. There are about 4 or 5 photos that are just head and shoulders above the rest. This is one of them. Staggering. 10

YEAH! - this will go over well with many I would think. Artistically stellar - a bit noisy photogrpahically and I'd like a bit more sharpness but this is strikingly beautiful overall. 8

mesmerizing and lovely
05/24/2007 03:37:37 PM
Love the pov. Good use of color. I like the arm mimicking the traffic line.
05/24/2007 12:14:31 PM
Lovely idea/image. I don't see the title working for it though.
05/23/2007 08:27:51 PM
Nice idea, like the composition a lot but it is a touch too grainy for me for this one. 8
05/23/2007 01:49:02 PM
What a strong graphical image. I hope your lovely model is still one piece! I'm not sure what if any message it is trying to portray but the straight on viewpoint her extended arm and of course the yellow line give it impact. Good luck
05/23/2007 12:34:03 PM
This is so neat! I like how 'perfect' everything is, it makes it interesting, and the composition just brilliant. Excellent shot. :)
05/23/2007 10:03:09 AM
I love it, Doug!! Great idea. Awesome image.
05/22/2007 10:54:43 PM

Excellent use of selective desat. Good luck in the challenge! 9

I really like this image. It is striking and draws you in with the strong lines. Has a sense of mystery. I'd probably like to see this full black and white outside of the challenge, but keeping the yellow works for the theme.
05/21/2007 01:38:35 PM
Really great idea and setup. I like the pose and the angle of your shot. I really hope you had people on both sides stopping traffic. :) Nice work.
05/21/2007 09:38:28 AM
very nice 7
05/21/2007 12:49:16 AM
Awesome! I love the simplicity alongside the bizarre.
