Topic: curiously...

I submitted these images to a Juried exhibit here in the land of love (seattle) and the 2nd was selected by the jurors.  Kind of an odd selection considering the totality of my work. But I sense, between the 3, I thought the 3rd was the strongest. 

Curious to see what colleagues would pick (yes, that's asking for feedback ;-D )

sorry gregor..., but the 3rd it's my least favourite, the first it's my top, it has an "Albert Hitchcock" feeling !

[calbisu]

mmmhh, I go for the second. love the comp and mood

[gregor]

the first it's my top, it has an "Albert Hitchcock" feeling !

;-)) That's what my wife said !  And who am to be objective about my own work !!

but alas, it's a done deal - 2 is the judges selection (judges were two gallery dealers, one of which represents Michael Kenna).

I still like 3....

I actually LOVE them all, but 2nd is my top pick, and the 1st one is a close second!  Congratulations!!!

Love the first one!

Thanks for the feedback !

They are all great, but, I am drawn to the first.

I can see the attraction to the first one because it has depth and context and all kinds of emotive associations.  (Someone's about to have a shower or just finished shaving--reminds me of the way a bathroom looks first thing in the morning.)  But for sheer graphic strength it's number 3.

for me, I'm torn between #1 and #2 as my favorite, leaning slightly towards #1.

I didn't read what the others said so as not to be swayed one way or the other.

The second one is the pick of the litter for me.   

The second one is the most mysterious and also the one that has the best exposure and just the perfect amount of grain.  I'm more curious about it-much more so than the other two.

There's just enough in the frame to make me wonder more about it, and leads me to believe a story is about to unfold.
The first one I also like just because I like bathtub shots but that's not a very strong reason to help you.
The third one is too distracting by its abstract forms...for me it's just kinda a scramble of shapes that don't take me anywhere.

Good luck!  Let us know how it goes!!!!

thanks everyone for the comments.  hearing (or reading) the perspectives of everyone who chimed in is quite useful ;-)

[Alan]

[vicky slater]
