Casu Consulto - Accidentally on Purpose

[Tiffany T]

Wow, so this photo for me was just amazing. I mean, its definitely not perfect. I love how the trees in the lower right corner stop your eyes from falling off the page, but I can't help but think that they seem blocky and just... I would like it better if it were one of the wintery trees where the leaves had fallen off and all that was left are the delicate branches forming that beautiful web of life (sighhh I totally sound like a tree-hugger). But either way, those streaks from the star trail bear the same shape as the thingy the biker does the tricks on which kind of unifies the two separate images, and they help lead your eyes from the top - with the biker - to the bottom where that thingy is, allowing whoever's looking at the image to see all the components of it. Plus the black and white really makes the photo seem like this great, majestical moment, and the spotlight, it seems, on the biker really casts emphasis on him and asserts his dominance over the entire image. The shades of black and white could really do some work however, as there's not great contrast in the image and the tree-blobs looks... well like blobs and are much too dark to really fit in with the image.

I actually don't like this photo. Those scratches look kind of like the scratches you get when you print a photo in the dark room, and you scratch the photo with the tongs. And the trees just look like someone spilled a bottle of ink on the paper. And also, there's no contrast in this picture except for the black blotches.
