NotforSale says:

THe facial distortion that you get from the angle on the wall is pretty cool.

I'll offer up a saveme if you get rid of the arm in the mid left.

sagarmin says:

I like the way the chair back cradles Frida's hand: makes the Frida photo extend into the 3D world of the guy reading. There's another photo behind him, where an arm seems to be reaching into his head. Ordinarily, it would be a distraction, but here it seems to work. All in all, quite comtemplative.

@ Notfor sale, yes, that's an arm...but on another wall photo.

mizzledrizzle says:

Clever, take a well-known picture of a celibrated artist and then...stick a bearded man infront. For me Freda's hand and the statue get in the way, making the right side of the picture top heavy.

I think your own snapshot suffers rather in comparison to that of Frieda K.

Not your crowning moment, I remove your signature off this rubbish ASAP.

CoachCashMoney says:

I just looked at it for 30 seconds and just made me say WOW! Then I looked at it longer and loved it more.

I used to put my name on my photo like you do but my teacher gave me a lot of crap about it. So I ended up putting my name not on the photo but on a border like...

This way people can crop out my name if they want to enjoy my picture without my name attatched to it.

Frederic Poirot says:

very crowded composition indeed. I don't know where to look. The seat in front of the hand is also probably hidding the transition with the other painted wall.

DanielN says:

Frida's presence and her line of view lead to the lone reader well. That combined with the baseline molding separates and creates a flow that I appreciate. The exposure and contrast have also been handled well.

I like the moment the The Bench has. It is very peaceful and the colours are nice but I would prefer Frida.

vote noneof100#1

i guess i just don't understand this shot. i'm not a fan of the defender and both are not best100, but then i have to go with one of them. in the end i think the composition of the defender is the tad more interesting.
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

craig_352 says:

Each photo captures a nice moment with very different moods. The challenged image is quiet and idilic, and this one is more like a moment amongst human frenzy.

I think my preference is for this one though. It just has a little more of that blink and miss it feel.

Vote: 1of100#2
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

Pensiero says:

I prefer the peace and the relaxing mood of the defender. Even if with has a very original cut, in my opinion, this one has too many distracting elements (chair, arm, building for example), that don't help.

jamie B says:

At first glance, I thought this would be a successful challenge, but I think the cluttered right side, the intruding arm and Nike Swoosh harm an otherwise excellent photo.
