Holger,

There's something here that makes me feel an unusual intensity... there's surely a nostalgic mood, but there's something on the character that comes to me as having a deep reflection on him. Great image.

It is impressive. The way that the crashed plane relates with the heavy weather and the intense sky brings a tension that makes this a much more than an ordinary view.

Simple, beautiful and original. It completely fits in the season. I think this would work really well as a christmas card.

I really like it. Great execution in terms of depth, light and sharpness. As for the composition, you did so well in taking advantage of all the interesting shapes, lines and tones of the place.

Great execution, so well composed and arranged. I get a nice vibe from it of an old photo. It also suits well the christmas mood.

A cropping that challenges the conventional and the peaceful disorder of everyone out of their lanes makes this one a clever and original composition.

Thank you so much friends for such nice words.

Our beautiful Belém Tower so well captured. Great processing. This image makes justice to the monument.

A somehow poetic desolating mood so well captures. Love the tones.

Great tones. Love the roughness of the textures.

The delicateness of the bride and its implicit innocence against the rough and stripped environment makes this image a standout. The distant and somehow occasional view makes her look even more unprotected, creating a certain angst to the viewer and reinforcing the emotional link to this. I really like it.

Hi Jack,

Looking at this series and how you titled it, and I can't help to think about a line from Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses from U2 (what can I do, I grew up in the 80s and 90s so I love them) - "you left my hear empty as a vacant lot, for any spirit to haunt". It really connects to me this image under that line in such romantic way... what this has been heavier than what this will be, fragments of the past that we just can't get rid. Beautiful work.

Drew, the results of your creativity never cease to amaze me. I don't even try to figure out what is this or where it comes from. I just wish you keep going there and continue to bring here such delights.

Really outstanding. An edgy composition so well served by all the abuse of light and contrast. Congrats for such a piece of art.

Thank you so much Sandy, Chris, Koushik, Marie and Stephanie for such nice comments.

It is enigmatic and has a touching nostalgic beauty. The displacement of corner of the window to a less obvious position in the composition brings an extra artsy dimension.
