Another well composed shot. Your choice to use B&W was a great one.
-
Absolutely fascinating
-
Interesting and, like all I've seen so far, well composed.
-
Very moody and well composed
-
Nice composition
-
This is certainly one of your strongest. The interplay between the red and blue and between the rectangles and the round drops is great.
-
This image is almost too subtle for my monitor. The gradations of blue are striking; while the view of the sleepy town just below keeps this from becoming an exercise in pointless abstraction (not that all pointless abstraction is bad, necessarily. . .).

I love the way it looks like she's bathing in light. This one and your "Roman" image are, in my view, the strongest in this folder.
-
Hard to find fault with this beautiful, well wrought image.
-
I don't know why exactly this got such low ratings in its first incarnation. Is the lighting a problem? Not for me - I think it makes for an evocative, sexy, thoughtful picture. -
The more I look at this, the more I see movement and speed. I think this stems from the contrast between those who are moving and those who still; but is greatly facilitated by that diagonal line that runs down the middle - most everything to the right of that is moving fast. The line designates the "speed zone". I also like the colors against the ice. Great shot. -
I love the way it starts out dark and gets lighter as you move up in the frame (the shadows suggest hills or other organic shapes outside), while the rain remains constant. I could stare at this image of rain and shadows for a good long time. In fact, I already have.

Another nice image. -
I don't think that's dust under the awning; I think it's those stars or whatever on strings that are in focus here. The large grain only adds to the moodiness of the image. I didn't like it that much at first but after I stared at it for a bit. . . I sort of fell into it. -
I've found it's really difficult to get a good "balloon seller" shot - no matter what you do, it looks trite on film. This image avoids that problem, though, by virtue of its interesting angle, and the contrast of the man's silouette with the transluscent, bright balloons. Nice. I'm not bothered by the tree limbs to the right, as some might be. I do wish it was a better scan, though.
-
Also nice, both by itself and in series. Check out the photos and paintings of Gerhard Richter, if you haven't already. That's what these remind me of. -
This series ends the way it began: with a really compelling image that strongly evokes mystery and movement. Some of the best images I've seen on this sight - or anywhere. -
Another fantastic image. I'm not sure the "city traveler" to the right isn't a distraction, though. -
While not quite as striking as the first image, this one is still quite strong, with the mysterious shadowy figure moving forward in the Chicago (?) night. In fact, this whole noir scene gets more involving the more you look at it.
-
I really like this whole folder. What a great series. Here, the movement of the dark figure - from left to right or forward; contrasted with the movement of the entire, lighter background from upper right to lower left or backwards - is very effective. Additionally, I like how the solid figure of the man (?) is echoed by the lighter figure of the structure behind him.

How many times have you found yourself sitting in a cab at night and saying to yourself, "Man, what a great picture this would make"? Well, Karl took that picture. And it is great. It also looks like something out of "Bladerunner". -
I don't think the striped pillow is a problem - you could easily "fix" it in photoshop; but as it is I think it gives the figure some grounding in reality; if it weren't striped, it would be less likely to be recognized as a pillow - and the whole image would then become one of abstract shapes and forms, which I think would be less effective all round. -
Doesn't look a thing like you. -
Interesting image. I like the bleed of the colors and the look on her face.
