I've been paying close attention to this one, because I like it a lot. I mean the light and the way you've captured the men totally absorbed in thier TV reveries is fantastic, but I guess that maybe Phil is right about the focus.. I don't know really, these technicalities are still strange to me. I just think that this one could make two photos :) one of the right and one of the left side and both of them are great ;)

In the stable.Pawing through the straw light with nodding pearly gazes.Absorbed and questioning the details beyond their stall.Those marks,and figures and movement of dubious nature.Approaching quickly with licks of hypnotic illumination through the gate.Like an unfamiliar fire,warm yet threatening to their domestic nature.

i think they are looking at your work - it is absolute amazing
Another abstract image, but in this one, you make us wonder what they could be watching with such intensity. The biggest problem with the image is where it leads us -- it begins well, with an extended arm anchoring the shot from the right hand edge, in. It carries the eye of your viewers to the three men who are seated, but then dissolves into softly focused chaos on the left hand side as a man merges into a confusing mass of materials. That merger has a double effect on the image -- it weakens the guy sitting with his head in his hand, and it obscures the fellow in the white shirt almost entirely. So what began well, does not end as well. Even though the merger is softly focused, it still creates enough confusion on the left hand edge to break up the sense of intense involvement the image started with on its right hand side.
