well aren't you a wonderful human being... I like this image. It's by no means perfect but it achieved many of my aims. After this attack on my practice I tonight it only prudent to have a good look at yours. After a few minutes on your flickr feed and was thoroughly unimpressed and do not...

Again this is but one photo. Many of the others are more obvious. I posted this one because the ideas we're perhaps more buried and I was interested in how people here felt about a more conceptual endeavour.

To be perfectly honest I must admit to a small amount of deception in that this image and project we're already pretty self realised. In other words I'm pretty happy with this photo and what I was trying to say. It's by no means perfect but it's done what I wanted it to do. What I was...

You are partly right, photographs need to be powerful and effective inclusively but it is absolute NONSENSE (thought I'd match the caps) to disregard the use of text with images. Sometimes even one word can work wonderfully to complement an image, to spark off an idea or to jarr with the...

The idea of the brief wasn't necessarily to describe the area as a whole, rather than to look at details. Nevertheless this just one from a series of images and in terms of 'describing' the area I think they work better as a whole. But yeah, you are right. This image by itself doesn't do a...

To Mr Crow: The main idea I wanted to try and push with this image was a feel of subtle tension. i really liked the little clash between the imposing windows and brick walls with the Washing. With regards to the foreground hedge that has sparked some compositional revolution. I decided to keep...

Ok, So I was interested in the contrast between different elements within the frame and the way they reflected the area; predominately the tension between the abrupt almost industrial windows on the left and the soft, domestic washing on the right. I got the impression the area had quite a...

So this is a photograph taken from a series of images I took for a short University project. For the brief we were sent out with different postcodes and told to go to the areas and try and describe (photographically) the place(s) that we found. Looking at the people, the topography, and...

You've picked a really tough image / photographer to write an essay about. At least in terms of breaking down an image. LaChapelle is perhaps more interesting to talk about in terms of his style. I wrote an essay deconstructing a Hannah Starkey Image and found it ok...

For me, the problem with the second photo is the way the bench jarrs with the apparently natural scene in front of it. It's also blinding to the interesting details above it in the frame like the swans. I would suggest a carful crop, perhaps from one of the other shots so it's not so tight...
