Adam Fuss- From the series My Ghost:  I believe this image is successful because of how Fuss is dealing with the forms.  He is choosing to reduce these birds down to organic shapes and create relationships between the shapes he creates.  Why he chose to do this is clear because of the title of the series- Fuss creates an image of the birds souls swooping around.  What I love about this image is that he clearly put alot of time and effort into choosing the correct printing process to capture these birds souls
Adam Fuss-From the series My Ghost:  In this image Fuss displays how well he creates and composes organic shapes.  He has a way of making something into nothing in terms of reducing things into organic shapes.  The edge light around the figure suggests a white light that you might see moments before death and I think that works very well with the rest of the series.  I don't know much about the daeggeorotype process but I do know that it's old and probably hard to do.  However, a common thread with Fuss's final prints is that the process is key to convey the meaning of the photograph.  
Adam Fuss- From the series My Ghost:  I appreciate this image for many different reasons such as the organic-ness, the flowing composition, and the detail.  I am inspired by works like this because there is no end to the image.  There is no way to get bored inside this image, and becuase it has a very organic quality your eye flows around the composition as opposed to a geometric image where your eye bounces around
