Comment by Christina from houston on Nov 4th, 2008, 15:03 pm
I liked the way that Drew was able to capture the pensive face of the child and balance it with his parent and the hat.
A striking moment --
Comment by Pam Gilbert-Bugbee from Portland, OR on Nov 5th, 2008, 00:38 am
Drew captured the moment -- the expression that won't let go.

She does look innocent I agree.
Comment by Seyf Wauchichou from Austin on Nov 5th, 2008, 20:49 pm
I vote for #22. Even though they're different people you can see the fusion between the supposed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

This is a good photograph. I appreciate the half-face aspect, looking directly head-on to the audience. The upraised hand on the side is also a bit evocative. Good!
Comment by Michael Teegarden from Dallas on Nov 6th, 2008, 16:23 pm
I vote for 26 & 27!
Comment by Don Nicholson from San Jose, CA on Nov 6th, 2008, 16:28 pm
Images #3 and #22 are pretty good. I particularly like #22 for its literary reference (appropriate for "Faces"). #27 is nicely aesthetic (I like the half-face, direct-to-audience visual).
(and apologies for just now reading the instructions and figuring out how to vote here.)
Comment by Michael Teegarden from Dallas on Nov 6th, 2008, 16:29 pm
