Hey Stephen,

ahh the Smeaton crop. I like it but if you are going to go for a srong crop, go all the way. perhaps a bit more empty space on the left could give a bigger impact and emphasize the cropping. Still good, and now I see you are putting a LOT of thought and ideas learned on TE to great use. Good work.

Steve, always good shooting Buddha! Good use of light and the DOF. That 50mm is fun, I am glad you are getting use out of it! Good work.

hmmmm ... this photograph looks familiar! ;)

i like it. it's a good shot and mostly, i like the shadowy nature of the photograph. it's darker and more interesting for the eye to explore.

well done!

wow.. that is totally dave-esque. but i still like it. there's some great detail here. a nice sense of history with the worn texture, along with the use of lighting.. it's a shame that of the 56 people that looked at this photo, only 4 left a note.. still, great job!
