I'm not a boxing fan (but watched the original fights of Ali long ago, time changes people!) but I like this image. Well crafted and I think part of the reason I can like this is that it is impersonal as the faces are obscured. Perhaps a touch more space at the top, but not much, would be better.

Good images of some nice old devices. I should google and find out what they are.

I wish I could help but despite appearances that toilet is the same way is was when I bought the house new 8 years ago. I did repair the other one in the master bedroom bath and it hasn't worked right since!

Waiting for my train in train station watching the clouds they seem very interesting so grabbed my iphone5 and took this picture and converted to B&W using Snapseed app.

Me and my 3 years old daughter walking to our apartment and sunlight was hitting from the back gave a nice shadows of us so I find very interesting so took again with iphone5 and converted to B&W in snapseed.

Thanks for looking.

I like the relaxed quality of these, and the fact of showing them in sequence adds a lot to the appeal.

Shot 1 : "You looking at me?" (Travis Bickle style - getting ready for a punch on the nose)

Shot 2 : "Oh, you are only making a quick portrait? Well, OK, then, thanks."

Brent, nice high key shot or processed high key shot. BTW did you processed this one partially aftherwards frame included? Your image also have a strong appearance of one half of a Rorschachtest

However there is a lot more to imagine. A compelling image.

That's a special labour shot Minniev, you really do know how to capture that atmosphere. A nice compilation of the necessary elements.

That bit of a glow just make the difference George and very add to the expression of that loc. Personally I'm not a fan of HDR but this one is just fine.

Two emotional stages in just one prozaic environment. Nicely expressed.

The Eagle flies alone and the Gull flies in a bunch, the loneliness and the cosiness etc. Very good image which express those two words very good or do I've to say worlds.

Half and half is always a play of light and dark, and that's what you mastered in this image greatly and combined with the expression of the musician makes this a wonderful shot.
