The right eye focused...For singles:<BR/><BR/>#1 is an almost. The right eye focused kills me. I wish it were the left. Then the rest would fall out of focus. I love the color and the light, but that minute detail just bugs the hell outta me. I love it otherwise. But with it, no.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Ryan. 4 & 5 out. There's no context to 4. I'm bored. Oooh, a girl looking at something. <BR/>Next.<BR/>5 just doesn't do anything for me either. I think the framing is too much, too distracting.<BR/><BR/>7 maybe. I'd really like a name for him.<BR/><BR/>13 can be moved up higher.<BR/><BR/>Kill 15.<BR/><BR/>On 16, where is this scene? I don't know where Sedro-Woolley is. Help me out. Plus, I kind of want to see the focus on the crash versus the fireman.<BR/><BR/>The ones without captions need one.<BR/><BR/>On 8, I enjoy the fact that she's like... translucent almost. It emphasizes the haunted aspect of the building.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Sports: Kill 7. 8 seems too 'shopped. Not sure about the lack of focus on 9. But I enjoy 10 and 12. However, I may choose one of the two, not both.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Foreclosure is good to add. And retiring pastor.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Other than that, I don't really have any suggestions. Well, I'm sure I could talk more if you asked me in specific, but I don't feel like typing any more. Hahaha.
