OK, 4x5 for me...I took off a point for Technique because I feel the tonal range is a bit flat.

Beamer said 260 days ago:

Nice one. I understand you comments from my post and I agree pretty much. I certainly am not interested in any increase in "2 word comments". I value constructive and well thought out comments. I feel it is the one main thing that I have learned from on these sites.

Cheers, I continue to be an admirer, and every chance I get, a provocateur.

mtmartini said 260 days ago:

I just couldn't help myself - it was either an image of King or the absence of light - I flipped a coin.

As for the comments, I only want to comment when I feel I can contribute something of value or if I have a particularly strong feeling with regards to an image - the last thing I want to do is nitpick about small details in images, we can pick apart masterpieces but what good does that do to help us improve as artists. And that is ultimately what we are trying to do, or at least some of us.

OK I will stop ranting, I don't know who put that bee in my bloody bonnet.

I think you forgot to remove your lens cap. Don't feel bad, my wife does it all of the time.

mtmartini said 260 days ago:

BTW, Thanks Beamer. :-)

stolenlife said 260 days ago:

Absence of remembering to remove the lens cap? :)

winetou said 260 days ago:

OK, what's missing in here? light? I only see a blank black picture, I don't get it.

flipthom said 260 days ago:

Excellent. Different, unique and bold. High marks from me.

CraigMartin said 260 days ago:

Funny and relevant, though hard to mark on some other criteria.

mtmartini said 260 days ago:

Thanks all, I hope that this shot was at least thought provoking for some of you, it definitely wasn't meant as a gimmick.

Given the background of Weekly Shot, white would have worked so much better.

mtmartini said 257 days ago:

Kadenjack, yes but black has so much more impact ;-)))

Montage said 257 days ago:
