My Understanding
I snapped this man at the Getty Centre Art Museum in LA. He was deep in thought and lined himself up perfectly.

Makes you wonder what he was thinking? A fantastic image….bold, striking, strong, clean cut, minimal.
Mark German
Brilliant work , Michael.
This is a close as I’d come to calling a shot a masterpiece.
Everything about it is beautiful – the vertical and horizontal lines, the size-decreasing figures, the shades of light, textures …
You have a winner with this one, and I suggest you try it in a few competitions. Congrats, mate.

Contrast is amazing. The contract in color as well as the coldness of the architecture against the warmth and deep thinking of that man. This is going straight to my favs.

This is brillinat Michael.. or perfects I should say perfect! Simple in its elegance, this has all the elemnts that you need.. fantastic lines, excellent contrasts and human interest in the figure.. I love how he and the column are silhouetted.. yet the wall and column to the right retain their stark white brilliance! A definate favourite!
Michael Kienhuis replied
Thanks Paul.
Susan Trigg
As others have said, a fabulous image! The interplay of black and white elements is just terrific. The black object (column?) next to the man seems so ominous it almost makes you catch your breath.
