For anyone still on PF ... which seems unusually dead this week ... The PhotoForum member's gallery/exhibit space was updated MAY-18-02 Work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html includes: > Roderick Chen - spider Yes, it is indeed. Looks like there is a dusty glass window between the spider and the background? Side/back - lit shows the translucence of the legs. Since spiders tend to pose quite well (most of the time) a bit of light refelected back on to the spider's left would have improved it. Not much, a small piece of white card would do the trick. > Bill Ellis - Ducks in a Row...... Fun shot ... love the evil duck leader in the middle of the front row ;o) I would crop slightly from the right side, the sliver of a duck's neck adds nothing and would make the leader a little less central. Well seen and appropriately lit. > Dan Mitchell - Denver Mill Classic shot: some might say it should be switched left to right ... but it works fine for me just as it is. The cow parsely (?) in the foreground really is a key element in its success. Places like this really do exist, though it's getting harder and harder to avoid phone masts and pylons. Sigh ... I want to be there ;o) > Jonathan Bailey - Danville, VT 1998 Cheap camera, heavy vignetting, bit too dark for me. I really love the overall design but don't feel the technical limitiations compensate for the end product. But of course this is a scan of a print so of course the original might have far more detail / subtlety than the on line version. Can't judge on that possibility. What a scene/moment though. The snow-clearer's here don't blow the stuff in to the fields like that. The scene is a photographer's dream ... > Alan P. Hayes - Stop stop Extreme camera shake: should have used a tripod ;o) I guess this works as a concept - but I can't help but compare with the clarity of Christiane's shots in the series gallery. I don't mind it not being level, does it need a point of interest though? A rabbit about to become a pizza maybe? Overall a nice contribution nevertheless ... > Greg Fraser - Dreaming in Color Shapes, colours and shadows. The "design" in this is clear - it is after all about patterns. One leaf breaks the flow, top edge going straight up out of frame. Photoshop or gardening could fix that. The scan looks a bit brittle again - was it a poor neg rescued or just grainy film?
