Cool series! I like it! The pic's have a good underground feel - dark and a bit spooked.

Wow, I love this set! Amazing textures and just very good processing. The pictures are just technically really good and clean. #4 in particular...the composition bugs me a bit but it's just super sharp and clear and awesome. Very very nice work. I would probably buy a print of some of these.

#7 is very nice, a good people moment. Reminds me of a happier variation on this Eugene Smith photo:

http://www.masters...h/smith_miners.jpg

edit: 8 and 9 are very good too. I think the first two shots are kind of weak compared to how good the rest are.

Thanks for all the comments, These photos formed the basis of some recent work for my degree and have been entered in a competition for emerging British photographers (the prize being £3000) so I'm hoping that they do well there too.

National Geographic good



seconding this, I don't normally spout this kind of thing out, but I do think they are that good.

Good luck with the contest.


EDIT-I think as a set, ejecting 1 and 3 would make this set stronger. They are both strong photos, but they are repeated/just aren't as good as the rest.

Hi, I used photoshop CS3 for the post production stuff, The files were converted from .CR2 Raw and edited from there.
