I say bravo -- something about this portrait conjured up memories of the Flemish School of portrait painting and sent me off on an internet hunt to re-remember who the Dutch masters were. (I am ashamed to admit I didn't pay close enough attention in my Art History class, and will claim being worn out by the Italian Renaissance as my only defense.) As long as I'm lost in Art 105: fine use of chiarroscuro. I love this portrait.

At first the white line of the sidewalk running horizontally across the grass (I'm guessing on sidewalk) was distracting. But after a second look, I realized that it helped to encourage my gaze downwards toward the distant square/courtyard so that I really appreciated the depth of perspective. -

I really like the jagged edges and shadows -- interesting. -
Fascinating window. I've never seen anything like it. I'm not sure I would have shot this from the side (but maybe you were trying to reduce glare?). I wanted to have a clearer view of what was hanging from the little panes, and a forward angle would have worked better for me. -

Great perspective. The caption made me laugh. Too many memories of little plant six-packs like this. I gave up on trying to grow anything long ago -- even bamboo hates me, and there isn't much more low maintenance than that.

I thought they looked like cannon barrels at first. Beautiful and disturbing. One minor distraction, for me was the pine tree in the background -- in my mind, it clashed with the industrial/mechanical intensity of the rest of the photo. Doesn't seem to bother anybody else so. Congrats on such an unusual photo!

I really like the turmoil and energy in this photo. -

Such intensity of concentration on that face! -
Interesting idea but the borders are too distinct -- not well blended.

I like the corrosion, and the depth behind the glass pane. -

Gorgeous motion of the hair.

The pale green undertones here are really lovely.

Hi joe, to explain my original comment: the most in-focus part of this shot is the texture of the wall in front of (above) the insect. I think most photographers would have centered the focus on the bug itself. Not sure if the focal point on the wall texture was intentional or not, but the reason why I like it is because it conjures up the (metaphorically of course) the point of view of the grasshopper/cricket. This becomes a more interesting picture because I get a little flash of insight into what the cricket might be focused on, rather than what the photographer is focused on. It's four in the morning here, so not sure if my explanation is as lucid as I would like it to be, but hope that explains my original comment better. -
Interesting focus.

I think this was a beautiful idea, with gorgeous colors and clean lines, but I am wondering if the composition balance is a bit awkward. The large pot at the top of the frame is a great focal point, as are the dark doors, windown, and shadows at the bottom of the frame, but they compete with each other for attention. I would experiment with cropping this image in different ways -- but this is only one opinion.
