I like the last of these, it actually made me stop and wonder what was going on in the image and why she was sitting there...it totally captured my imagination! I like it thumbs up from me, I can't CC it i mean, you shot it from your hip....maybe a tad more contrast, but then I think it might subtract from the image.....so yeah i like it as it is!!

On a warm Thursday morning, I think she is texting or pxting or perhaps checking facebook on her mobile. Maybe doesn't want to miss the bus so wants to know when it runs over her toes?
Nice capture Cameron. Imagine if you had a swivel viewfinder?

I actually quite like the first image, even the fact that it seems rotated 90 degrees it still appeals to me in this orientation, the fact that you have to look closely at the photos draws you in and the partial ring of flowers raises teh question of tragedy, the packet of ciggies in the corner raises another whole plethora of judgements and questions.

Nice and thought provoking image

I like the second of these. The broken frets on the guitar convey to me a feeling of decay that's at contrast with the other elements that we see in this image.

And you've given me the germ of an idea for something we can do throughout the year; stay tuned, please.

Thanks, I am worried that the slight out of focus nature detracts but the image was too good to ditch for me, I have no clue why she was sitting there though.

That is a possibility...yes a right angle finder would be nice.....or even the live view focus of a Sony *GASP* SLT-A33/A55

It was something that caught my eye so I fired off one shot....can I claim dumb luck for the elements? It is an image that I kept due to the involvement it entices.
