Wow, fantastic and lovely image. We all need erotica!! It looks like David Sylvian from the band Japan. The eroticism comes from that tantalizing glimpse of a stocking-top on her right leg. Possibly a bit too colour-drained, but it has humour and sex. How cool is that?

That is superb. One has to look for a while to see the range of colours. At first it looks like "mushy green and grey". There is a Jurassic feel to it. A criticism: is that a bridge on the centre-left? If it is then I think it should have been either left out entirely or been made a bit bigger.

There is a great amount of detail there. I really like this photograph. I rather fancy that you showed his apparel in order to say, He's old but he is young-at-heart. It's a youngsters style of top. I may be wrong.I am afraid I don't like the missing top of the hair. That may be a cropping effect of the site. I would rather have seen the head in its totality. But 9/10. And if I was going to have MY portrait done, this is the worker who I would like to do it.

I like the picture but I do not like the lack of detail on the sleeve. I have seen similar oil paintings where such sleeves show clinical detail. But the whole picture is very well done. A lovely hand, a sly look. It is well done.

Great picture. WOW. The question asked by many will be, "Whose footprints are those before him?" So my criticism would be, wouldn't the picture have been better framed with the man much lower; there would be more clouds but less footprints. Everyone's a winner.

Very good as showing the ACTUAL shading on a spheroid. Very unusual, I wonder what it is a picture of? I think it looks like a shaken up bottle of Gordon's Gin. Neither the gin or this picture are my favourite, but I like both!

Image showing, I think, hand signals in pidgen. There is a possibility that the young child is deaf. His clear eyes have a symbolic contrast. His nails shine as they hold the door. The use of B&W is perfect. Moving and even didactic. Good picture!

I really like the colours. In particular the lovely lovat green at the bottom and the two reds at the centre and at first flight. The lack of helical regularity is slightly disconcerting. Is that a lens problem or an architectural problem? My favourite part is seeing the underside of the steps, mainly in the top-centre. Also, the lovely colour-gradations in the centre-left (ie the start of the stairs), from white to yellow and then ... pink? Rose? Well done to the photographer. The lighting shows that it was not an easy photo to take.
