Janine C. Hanson - Fisherman's Dream No, I dream of being able to see the fish in the trout stream! OK compositionally but a bit dull for content. King/Arthur - Wiggleman Walk To X Nice graphic impact but too far away from photograph for my taste. Roderick Chen - lovely use of depth of field and perfect cropping - they really jump at you. jIMMY Harris - Green Spider Ugly? Absolutely not. Really nice placement of an excellent beastie. I'd like to see more contrast on the head and thorax is all. Greg Frase - Victoria Day Anyone who can get the fireworks right has my admiration. Most firework shots are too busy - this is perfect for me. Brian Chandler - After Greg Fraser Too confusing for me - colours are nice but the simplicity of a tulip is preferable. Christiane Roh - London, British Museum I love bw architectural. Only the keystoning bothers me- but getting a higher angle would lose those great reflections. A shift front or lens is the only answer - or faking it in Photoshop. Bob Talbot - Whitby Shop Great subject but that white splodge in the background bothers me. Oh you do like toi be beside the seaside...... Me She's got a sadness or wistfulness I find immensely appealing. The comment about pseudo-infrared refers to manipulating colour channels in Photoshop to try and get that luminosity. Was trying to turn the grain into a positive but my nerve failed and I smart-blurred it a little. D.L. Shipman - Barbicans with Barby Exquisite, soft 18th C. feel. I like the sky 'wash' but not so much the way it contours the silhouettes - reminiscent of bad 'burning-in.' Still can't quite make out the barbeque, but. :) Elson T. Elizaga - Operating Room Loved the last one of the nurse and this is almost as good. All that great red and green would make an ideal Fuji promo. Not sure about the light on the back of the assistants head - at times I think it balances, at others that it distracts. Jose Luis Vasconcellos -1/50s in Satchmo's life I love finding good images in markets of ordinary people but this was a great find. I read discomfort or exhaustion in Armstrong's face and a certain control and triumph in the women. The odd, stiff pose of the onlooker is eloquent as well.
