Hi Jim,

Maybe lighten her up a bit and do something to bring the details out in her outfit.    The vignette is a bit much.   A nice compo.

Here is the photo.  It’s been awhile since I posted here!

Hey Duncan, I really like this one.  Looks like a BW Dr. Suess

Rob, I darkened the background from the top down with a grad filter in an attempt to be artsy.

Graham, the chairs were barricaded off and I wouldn’t have asked anyone to sit on those hot things until after sundown.

Interesting contradiction.  How can it be a self portrait if no one can tell it’s you?

congrats Elin!

Erik, this really looks good on a big monitor.  My only ST comment would be the contrail but it’s no big deal.  The lines on the deck are very nice.  The light streaks make an average photo above average.

Hi Erik, I like the feel.   The pile of stuff in the bright sunlight really attracts my eye and is a bit of a distraction.   I would look at either darkening it or eliminating it.

Thanks for the comments everyone.  I was going to use this in a show that I’m doing here and it was to be about 20 feet from the viewers so I pumped it up a bit… probably too much.  It has to be in color.  I think I will look for something else.

I vote for Graham’s crop!

Hi Kent, I was kinda surprised that you posted a snap like this.  What appeals to you?  I like the toes!

I think I posted my reply wrong so here goes again.

P71, You got the guys face, excellent! The photo is not real sharp and it could be the JPG but I would have gone with a little bit faster shutter speed and raised the ISO a tad especially if your planning on converting to BW… noise can be grain in BW. When I’m walking around looking for str…[Read more]

Hey Rob, I like this one and feel the huge amount of blue is enough of a subject.  I would look at making a bit of a pano out of it by cropping out a bit of the top.

Hi Rob, nice pano and I love the horizontal feel.  I might try removing the “extra” bridge on camera left as it is a bit of  an eye snag.
