Yes the image does appear voyeuristic, but everything was totally innocent. She was standing in a public place talking on her mobile phone.

Nicely composed. I like the voyeuristic feel.

Fantastic noir-ish image. Mysterious and invokes curiosity wonderfully. In my top ten of the challenge. 9.

This is an interesting piece. I find the black/white treatment works well for this application. I am curious if she is standing in a stairwell and actually someone you know, or if you/us are really a voyeur into this persons life. The near center composition is a bit off putting, however I will forgive you this time. This image also is a bit nicer this second time around so I will give you a slight bump in your score. Overall its a nice image and concept.

This is an interesting capture, almost like a prelude to the night. She's obviously dressed up and ready to go out, or maybe she's at a party? Good job making the viewer wonder what she's doing here, and abstracting a moment from her night.

Where? I don't see-- oh wait, there she is. ;-) Very artsy and a bit voyeuristic. :)

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: This is a very interesting image with an excellent silhouette that has a story to tell. Although the black and white works, I do wonder how the colour image might look.

Critical stuff: The portrait crop offers some environmental context to the image but I think a near landscape crop, just showing that storey would have been a bit more powerful. The near voyeuristic quality of this image is possibly a double-edged sword; I think it adds story - so may find it a little creepy.

Overall: An interesting image which is effective but it may not make too many friends of the voters.
