    If Ansel Adams were alive, he'd ask you to join F64! When I used to shot B&W film, I'd use a red filter for landscapes. After seeing the dramatic B&W images at p-net taken with digital cameras, I thought about putting one on my D750. A little more research and I discovered they're already in photoshop! Is that how you got this one?

    Truthfully, I don’t understand the lack of attention this photo is getting in particular, and the lack of comments at photo.net, in general. You have very skillfully and artfully related the older women to the faded rose. It should be Photo of Week, or for sure POD. However, POW, POD and even Editors Picks are like some rusted machinery, broken and abandoned. What has happened to photo.net? Are we drifting on a ghost ship? Have all the petals fallen from the rose and skin from the bones?

    Good find. I could tell it was an owl before reading the title. On my screen it looks a little washed out. Maybe bump up the contrast or adjust the levels curve in PS?

    It’s a good thing you had the BIG glass in your arsenal! I’m sure everyone is aware, but this image reminds me that our impression of an image is somewhat dependent on size (print or screen). On a 2 meter screen I think the whole tree image would be a WOW! On a smaller computer screen, like what most of us view photonet images, I think a close up would be more of a Wow!.

    Just having these opposite symbpols of sex in the same photo makes it great. But wait, there’s more! The real drama is you can’t tell what the Nun has decided to do. I think all Nuns carry a stick (or ruler). Will she turn left and start wacking, or turn right and let the lovers, love. What’s going on in her mind? Is she regretful or self righteous? Her mind must be a swirl. Maybe she’ll be so occupied with thought that she’ll keep going the way she’s pointed, and bump into the corner of the wall.

    One of the very best examples I’ve seen of relating the structure of a city to the people who live there. And I’ve seen some excellent work, particularly by the artists at photosight.ru. The elevated view point, combined with the fisheye distortion, makes me feel like I’m visiting a new world. At that distant perspective, it’s almost like the city is an ant hill and something has sent the ants scurrying about to investigate. At a closer perspective, I see people who have escaped the steel and concrete to move, to see without glass filters, to relate with a community. At an even closer perspective, I see the couple in the middle of the ice, holding hands. Maybe that bond is the core that holds everything else together. Others will of course see it differently, but any image that stimulates thought is a good one.

    The geometric abstraction is like a black hole that sucks out my eyeballs and sends them over the sea horizon. I want to look at the people, but keep getting sucked out to sea. This should go into your Fine Art category.
