At the washing line! I rather like this too. Perhaps becasue the view is a little "off" !! ;-) - a little off the beaten track. There are those - if they could be bothered to write - who'd say that this is a shot which tells us nothing. But, whether by intention or by accident it's packed with symbolic possibilities, tensions and histories - should one chose to wander down such an avenue. Good luck! Cheers Colin

Julia, There's definitely something here. A mood of peeling paint and weathered wood, somehow echoed by the "old fashioned" nature of the net curtain, a different sort of pattern altogether. Regards To the washing line!! Colin

A nice threesome - no make that foursome - including the horse - and then there's the image on the the camera - and then there's you. Not too sure about the "tint" though. Regards Colin

Francisco, And the reflections do add something. A sense of motion. We are travelling, they are travelling - a sense of time. Regards colin

Patrick, Graphic and enjoyable. The effect is one of endless architecture, and the off-centre presentation, and the hard b&w take the shot away from "the obvious". My regards Colin

Sayeed, This is quite an obscure one, I think. There's very little here which is truly identifiable to my eye. Nevertheless, the mood is very strong, and perhaps the obscurity even adds to that! Regards Colin

Frederic, Inspirational overexposure!! Creates an alien space, which seems most appropriate here. Regards Colin

Iain, Another cool shot which, again, gains atmosphere from the high iso - at least in my view! It hovers somewhere between reality, 1950s poster, and a posed model in a wax-work museum - that would be the Tango waxwork Museum. You might just be in the ideal place to start such a venture - but don't, it would be madness! Regards

Benny, Hard to say exactly why this one appeals - but it does! The art style presentation turns what could be a rejected snap shot (in someone else's camera) into, well, into a piece of art, and we are forced to look, forced to consider. To me, this is a valuable technique. I like the result. Regards Colin

Hello Thomas It's certainly an eye catching shot, a great mix of colour and silhouette. To be honest, I wish the coloured elements were a little lighter, the silhouettes a little darker - maybe just pure black outlines. My regards Colin
