Even with the eyes hidden behind the glasses, the connection to the subject is there because of the other things (direct gaze and smile), and the gesture gives life.

Thanks, Jack; it is a bit of a crop, I knew I wanted it, but didn't know the reason it looked right. I saw it as a 'target' for her motion. -
edit: 'I' won't demean..... -
It's a civilized city with ring-roads and spokes, and then the gouhlish growth appears; either as a malignant extension from within, or as an alien attack. It matters not, Jack; for it's only a nightmare from which salvation will come with with waking up. I hope. But damn! I wish I hadn't opened this just before bedtime. -
Leading us once again down the rabbit hole of surreality in the ordinary. Thank you. -
I scrolled down, and think it is stronger without the sky and horizon, but that may violate your intent.

Thank you for sharing; U won't demean it with analysis.

'structures in chaos' or vice versa. all these forms (pun intended) strewn about in the two-dimensional frame but related and organized tin real three-dimensional world.

A lovely celebration
-
Nice. The light does a beautiful job flattering the subject, and the setting invites speculation about exhibitionism to provide further interest. -
You always present such a compelling case for pausing and exploring detail. -
Thank you, The world is abetter place with your sharing your amazement.

Excellent.
-
Lots to explore... the vibrant colours, the shape of the car, the story of the kids, the textures, ......

Good choice of using b/w to concentrate attention to the wave.
-
The sensuality in the drape of the fabric is a key that makes it.
-
Another fine example of unique vision well expressed.

Thanks, Michael; FWIW, it's a grizzly, location: Yukon/NWT border. Shot from my vehicle as it grazed beside the road, I was happy with the exposed teeth and claws.

The lighting and the pose both compliment the lovely subject, Like how the structure of the face, neck, and the collar bone(s) are brought out. I have a 'thing' about lack of separation of the subject's hair from the background, in that the hair and b/g are indistinguishable black in this case, but accept that it is 'my' thing, and the photographer made a valid choice for his vision in this case. Also temper my comment with the fact that I have never done studio photography and lighting myself. so I am subject to dismissal. -
Potential lost. The (IMO) excessive contrast treatment robs image of intermediate detail, and reduces it to:
a) an exhibition of abstract form, devoid of texture, or
b) an exhibition of the ability of the photographer/presenter to pursue extreme(s) with no regard to whether or no those extremes serve or achieve a purpose.
To John Horn (the poster); please don't take it personal, I have no beef with YOU; but 'critiques' on photo.net seem to have devolved to the point where only compliments exist.
This ain't good. I hope that I can 'break the ice', and encourage more (or at least some) CRITicism. I sure could use some myself!

The rocks, and some of the trees in the background (which I am guessing should be grey), look purple. Just me or do others see this too? -
