This is the kind of upload that caused me to pause, to study it, to absorb it's meaning and it is only after staying glued to your work that we understand it and say "YES" to the goodness of the human heart.

WOW a lot of thought has gone into this presentation. Perspective is nice, the composition works. I like it.

Mystical and thought provoking. Technically well done and a delight to study this.

This is a bank vault and at first I thought it was a camera lens and all you see with a camera. Very nicely constructed and tells a good story.

Love the thought process behind your submission. The depth of meaning is also poetic. Technically well done with shadowing, perspective...it all fits! Nice work.

I like the depth of this photo, by that I mean the emotional, the lyrical depth and the story it tells. I also think you have all the technical aspects in place like shadows and details well done.

Orange marmalade anyone?! You have used dof brilliantly and to see those oranges in the background is the icing on the cake!

I like the abstract quality and the roads the shells/snails have left behind and your title suits this image.

Yes, a headless body, stalking the woods, looking for its head, every autumn night until the snow falls and the silent white blanket covers secrets only known to one.

I like the lead lines with this but my eye is caught by the foreground and I am wondering if that is a decaying corpse lying there.

Solid composition and perfect for sepia.

You could hang this on a gallery wall, it looks like from another era and is dressed beautifully in sepia which suits it very much. Good entry

You do have dust on your sensor (the bane of all photographers), but this workhorse looks great in sepia.

This abstraction catches our eye for the minimalistic effect and the wonderful textured detail. Nice post.

I like the "speed" feel to this, nicely blurred and quite effective.

Very appropriate sepia toning for this 1940's reenactment. I like it but you need to ask them to look at you, not at the other photographer....never mind, it creates mystery.

Brilliant work and EDUCATIONAL too. L'esprit d'escalier. THANK YOU

OK I get it....a dark angel....cool!

I feel this image could use a bit more brightness as it has a bit of a muddy feel to it. Try giving it more exposure. The mystery of this image is delightful, is that an angel's shadow at the back?

BIG CONGRATS !

Hey CONGRATS!

Congrats Patty!

CONGRATS !

Hi, you need to mention how you sepia-ed this photo.

tell us what technique you used to sepia this...that is asked of you in the contest rules

again...mention how you sepia-ed this photo

again, same thing here...read the contest rules...you need to include "how you sepia-ed" this otherwise

You need to mention your process as to how you changed it to sepia....hurry before the KGB exterminate your image!

Good photograph, clear, to the point, showing us the round boiler, good marginal space, realistic colours, pov appropriate...just all round nice. (get it?)

You have nipped off the bottom of the wheel. I do the same thing and isn't that just fry your onions...grrrrr. You need more of a margin but all in all YES YES YES it is round!

I love those headlights they are oh so round and friendly...like a warm smile. This photograph is sharp with good contrast seen and tightly cropped to bring our attention on the round headlights. Nice post.

OOF slightly.

I like this, it follows the KISS priniciple to a t and I am a sucker for KISS.

Has a lovley old feel to this. Well composed with keeping the sky in that left hand aspect of image. Nice

Good in monochrome. You are the b/w specialist and seem to know that textures really are pronounced when shot in monochrome. Good one.

I would like to visit this place all because of this photograph. Sharp and well composed with great tonal quality to it.

I rather like these kind of images where you see abstract beauty in things.

Decay times two, good catch.

I like this image for the artistry of it. If you put this through an artistic filter and blow it up on 'canvas' print it would look great in your living room.

Yes, good decay photo. There are many 'crumbling bricks' in and around Thailand.

I wonder if a less generous crop with more foreground showing would have enhanced it and a crop down to eliminate the roof...I know you will say that if you did crop down it would kill the window but you could clone out that brown streak of wood to the left, and it would affect the windows...I know you cannot do this for PXL contests but in case you want to Cross Hatch this and turn it into a beautifully mounted complimentary image to go with Milan.

Truly, only a photographer would stop to take a photo of a decaying car full of waste. I like your chutzpah and thank you for showing all of us that "photos are everywhere".

You are brave to post this and remind us all that this is where we are all headed for...

Ohhh this is spooky and scary....did you meet a gator face to face?

I really need to go here. Thank you for a lovely post.

Very nice composition.

Did you use a vintage filter on this piece because if you did it is subtle and adds to the "decay" feel. Nice entry.

I like the gentle sepia on this, had you put in more it would have ruined the atmospheric delight of this image. Good marginal space all around, sharp and non-obtrusive background.

How the old gets emphasised with sepia. It has at once a welcoming feel and a dreary and gloomy feel to the structure. Nice tonal quality too.

The minimalistic feeling to this is great and you have placed the structure into the grid line (rule of threes). Nice eye and this is one time a big sky works.
