The evidence seems the reverse of wot you say Lydia, as I can see my comments under a lot of the picys & yours under just a few. This challenge thrives on comments without them I wouldn't bother posting here. Your way seems to be how they do it over at the Cslr challenge & it's like a morgue over there wiv very few comments made at all. What's the point of that. I don't do wot I do as a tit for tat response it's just that I put myself out for those that do likewise no matter how small. But those that make no comments at all are as useless as tits on a bull for the success of these challenges.

Lydia: It's just lines :) Nothing to understand. I was standing on a glassed corner balcony, shooting inside, so there are reflections all over the place. The 4 broader "lines", coming in from the left, are reflections of balcony rails. The small cars in the upper left corner etc. were really behind me, across the street. Sweet nonsense, cept it isn't particularly sweet lol. I do like the title, though.

Rod, if folks only comment on the folks that comment, there will be zero comments given on any image. Do as I do... comment when you can... look when you can't. It will all even out in the end.

Kiki, I don't understand this image. *sigh* But, I'm trying. I do like the diagonals and the fact that I've studied it for quite a bit of time trying to figure it out. ~Lydia

Because I don't comment on some picys doesn't mean I dislike them, I have a habit of commenting on the posters picys that make comments on others posters picys first & then if there's nothing happening here I might comment on a few of the slackers picys. I didn't assume because you haven't commented on my three Exhibition picys that you didn't like them I just assumed you were a slack sod:-) To save you time looking for them as you will now feel extremely remorseful they are the over saturated snapshot type picys at the top:-)

Great Image!
ctfchallenge16-Sep-2008 21:06
Sorry: typo!
I meant to write (repeat, actually) that the one in EXHIBITION is my own fav.
Some technical flaws..skin tone/saturation is a little orange/heavy, slightly oversharpened along the edge of the nose.. But you haven't commented. Off topic? Too "snapshotty" to bother with? Etc. "Yuck"? "Gah"? "Blah"? "Doh"? "Welllll"?

Wot's wrong wiv it!! Are you kidding, this is a terrific picy. It's not easy to get a picy so full of elements requiring the eye to look over every square mm to sit easy on the eye but you have done this here. If a picy works for me I see no point in then looking for faults because for me a fault would present itself to me eye upon first viewing, if I don't notice any faults when first viewing a picy there are none. When I mention faults in other picys it's because I noticed them when I first viewed the picy even though I can still say I like the picy. So pour yourself a nice glass of wine & be content you have taken a terrific picy for this topic.

hehe. The one in eligible is the better picture, imo. What do you think is wrong with it? I'd appreciate if you gave it your worst while you're in the mood. Never mind the good bits - I know those. Or do you simply think it's off topic?

I'm just sucking up to a genius, Doug opened me eyes:-)
ctfchallenge15-Sep-2008 20:48
Thanks, Dough. Hear hear ;)
Rod: What are you up to now... lol

Tilting an ordinary snapshot on the computer to make it look ahrty is a Flickr tilt. This is a geometric masterpiece:-)
ctfchallenge15-Sep-2008 14:16
This image is so busy that it forces the viewer to look over every detail for fear of missing something. Genius. -COAmature

Thank you, Rod. It smells like a compliment.. somewhere. And yes, brand new window blinds in the new apartment, shot from the balcony outside. Wasn't it you who once called this kind of mannered stuff for "Flickr tilts" btw? ;) Anyway.. my GOOD entry in this challenge is in exhib - I insist!. Pure genious. I just mention that, since I believe you might disagree.

This must be your new apartment cos I can see plenty of paint runs on the walls. If I can see your reflection right it looks as though you tilted the camera to get this picy just like a bloke. The girls here just snap away & tilt on the computer:-) Anyhow this works very well for the topic, well done a.
ctfchallenge14-Sep-2008 23:18
Thanks, good people, you're much too kind (!)
I only have 15 huge boxes left to unpack, an apartment to sell, and then I can start tidying up. And heal my arms, which threaten to fall off any minute now. Even drinking coffee hurt these days. But not to worry: In a few years time I'll be OK again!

Diagonals every which way. Just keep taking more pics...they'll lift you out of the miasma you've been in with your terrible moving experiences.

Me too. It has a nice clutter of diagonals that works very well to keep the eye wandering and wondering. -tv

I saw this sitting in pending and was hoping you would get around to posting it. As I've said before, I love your creative way of thinking and this is a striking example. Penny Street
