Interesting PUG this month. I felt it was a real chore because the constraints in sticking with the 'Synchronicity' theme were rigid - it felt like someone telling me to go do something in their time-frame and not mine. I think for this reason, lots of us took shots we perhaps wouldn't normally do. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - coming up with some creativity to order when one is maybe not in the mood is a mountainous task.
Some very interesting images, interesting subjects. All very well executed. Two that caught my eye for an extra-long look: 'The Party is Over' Gianfranco Irlanda Another superb study. Shots like this either work or they don't, and this one most definitely does! Excellent relationship between the hands. Don't need to see the faces. The cups and things on the table nice and soft - peripheral items that we glimpse and then discard, instantly they tell their part of the story. This pic could only work in mono for me. And work it does. Pic of the Month. 'Synchronicity Sophie' Darryn Richter Great lighting. We don't know what Sophie is looking at, but she's seeing it through a child's eyes, and that's the wonderful feeling this picture evokes. The toning is a nice touch. Again, I love the lighting. Well done! I liked Wendy Beard's son in Wal-Mart, I liked Matjaz's backlit tree. The WTC images were poignant and sobering. Annsan's rooftop view would be any other city skyline, except that we know that the dust carries the voices of many fallen people. It's going to take a long time to recover from that. Cheers from England.
