Let's go in a different order this: Christiane Roh - Lausanne, May 2002 Pic of the week! I mean, what is she saying to him? "Don't look, but there's a pervert with a camera lurking behind the pineapples..." ? Very nicely seen, Christiane. Jeff Spirer - Girl in a Truck Hmm. What is going on? Is the girl being shipped in that cardboard box? Or is she selling buns, or something? I find it difficult to relate to the scene, perhaps simply because it is too unfamiliar. Punchy effect though: there is a lot of contrast, but I also notice a sort of halo around her head - is that a flash used to fill in? Jim Davis - art in nature In contrast, almost everything in this image is almost unnervingly familiar, from the "street furniture" style to the species of trees. More high-contrast lighting - i.e. the sun - which you have kept nicely under control. (Don't quite understand what you did with the sky: pasted a new one in, or just something Ansel Adams would have done in an instant?) You probably earn some award for capturing a view like this with only one (1) telephone pole in. I only wonder if it wouldn't have been possible to capture the painting/drawing in at least a tiny amount of detail. > Roderick Chen - bus stop Again, unfamiliarity takes its toll - I don't know what the dotted yellow line is for, or rather I can't tell whether it's just a line meaning "Give way" or similar, or whether it's a pedestrian crossing. But modulo all that, I like the effect of the mist. In a sense, comparing with Jeff's image it's very "unpunchy", yet effective. Sorry, that's all for the moment. Thanks to *all* who took part.
