Me neither.

I personally find that perspirers fit much better than sweaters.

Taxi...

I'm actually a little concerned because your facial expression is actually freaking me out! Sorry, but I think it's your eyes, it looks like you are trying to hypnotise me! Maybe try a more relaxed pose, and if you want to use the image for a business card please have a shave!

A very female comment I know, but it will make you look more professional and less like a photographer that's just rolled out of bed

Whatever floats your boat I guess

Nice jumper, is it warm?

I don't know... I like it and I don't.

It feels like it's missing something, maybe a burnt out car or some chavs even?

The mist makes the shot eerie (that's probably why I think it's missing hoodies, or maybe a knife crime of some sort)

And the negative space just doesn't work for me

A strange composition

Thank you for the link.

Now I've read what someone more professional than me has to say, I've decided to bite the bullet and just post the photo anyway, I'm quite proud of it, so that's the main thing.

Here goes...

Hi, as I am fairly new to some photography terms I just wanted to clarify something for the competition:

Mono, which I take means "of one hue" doesn't have to be "black and white" does it? I would like to add a colour to my entry, quite a strong one, but all shadows etc. will be shades of the same colour.

Will this be allowed?

I just wanted to check before posting my entry so as to not be disqualified. I have been working hard on the comp this week, and it will be my first entry shot with the K10D (which I've only used a couple of times due to it actually belonging to Unlocker!) So the last thing I want is to submit an image which doesn't qualify.

Your answers will be much appreciated

Thanks for the comments Lilly, I'm really pleased with my first K10D entry. The pixilation you mention was intentional and part of the filters applied to try and make the surface texture of the rose more abstract. Maybe I should have made in more obvious?

As for the colour, I agree it's a little strong but I wanted my first proper Pentax entry to have a bit of pizazz!

Thanks again for your comments, I enjoyed taking photos for this one!
