  1. the reflexion on the right complements and balance the image very effectively colorwise...the precision of the crop makes it like a displaced reality by bringing some added information on the right...a quite different story for the mural because there the relfection changes it to have LIberty's two arms up above in the sign of victory...quite interesting that on the sides the reflexion extends reality while in the middle it is changing it...

    this image is full of energy...although it's posed I like how it captures a kind of simple spontaneity....

     

    I totally understand your need to step back...in fact that's something I also feel deeply...to breathe and let the inside go out...in some sense I think the internet kind of suggest (if not indirectly impose) too fast a rythm for most people...a good thing to do is go back to our own rythm...that's were I see the power of working in series and project (big or small) and take time to let it mature...

  2. well I would not idealise Europe for it has its own problems that are huge as well...in Switzerland particularly land is so small and scarce that we cannot afford to let it abandonned...so I would say we care because we have to, not because we care better...at the end people are everywhere about the same and there is always a kind of logic in their behavior even if the logic is not straightforward to see and understand...
  3. harsh reality is something I am interested in photography...it's not so hard to do good photo of nice looking subject...I always found subjective approaches and personal thematics more appealing...that's why I like this image David, for the message and decaying life it present and your search to record it...not to mention the colors and straightforward compo that suits the subject well.
  4. it looks closer to a handball goal cage than to a museum entrance and that's something I like, this kind of shifts from expectation to reality...colors are superb and your compo adds a touch of mystery with the girl imported into the image from her reality largely outside the image...

    the negative space gives such a volume feel to the image...I particularly like the compo with the location of the elements (lights array, performer, second drape,...)...a wonderful circus performance image....

    This is a superb image both aesthetically and figuratively with the juxtapositionof the youth with the thombstones....I really don't see how cropping could improve it..your light desaturation of the container is enough for it to be discrete enough and not disturb the reading of the image...having the little girl in the middle fully embeded by the stones also participate to the mood "with lots of death symbols around but life still going on"....a superb image as is for me...
  5. In any kingdom you'll find a portrait of the king on public walls...Japan is no exception I see...reminds me of a scene of the Lion King (Disney) where the Lion is watching the valley from above...the same typical posture...so funny....
  6. so nicely subversive...the irony is already in the written message and your title complements it further...hopefully there will be some people that understand only the first degree and still keep buying those particular dreams....well hopefully I don't know....
