| Very otherworldly processing, certainly takes the mundane to another level. Those dayglo taillights on the background car draws the eye (not suggesting this is either a good or a bad thing, just noting it). I found this shot unsettling, which may count as success given your title - I think what makes it unsettling is the color palette - you've got this dark foreboding sky and overall greyness, evoking emotions contrariwise to the scattered eruptions of pastel-ly colors. |

| I love this shot Don. This reminds me of what I did with a shot called "Ghost Station". I got clobbered also. People just don't like that kind of processing. I love ominous looking skies. |

you know it is hard to follow such a strong reaction...and one that is not unfair, yet I don't feel the same way...I am drawn to this pointless landscape with Burt Reynolds in the foreground...I don't know why, as really you have made this completely bland by lowering the contrast levels to the point where I want to look away...mundane yes, but why does he have his hand sitting like that and why is he standing there?
and man I want to letterbox this sucker, but hey I will leave my personal obsessions on my computer...
though I think it is because the sky is too strong here, and too separate from this confrontation...
I am saying nothing right, wandering around but definitely not ignoring, and you just stand back and smile, aware that you have stopped me in your tracks...
I plan to call this shot Transit, I am simply ignoring you now... |

| Such a usual mundane scene, bordering to boredom, with such unusual colours, repelling and insulting to Nature (She wouldn't make something so ugly!)...I fail to understand what's going on and what's the point, as if there should be one...A transit to where? A good exercise, but a real artist would never show this to everyone, so if I could, now that I know, I'd vote this a 1. |

| I thought the processing was unusual - unless you are going for the eerie/foreboding feel. But I really did like the man vs. train concept. |

| I'm not crazy about the de-saturation of your image, but that's just me. The trees, wires and poles seem to have an odd gray outline around them. |
