Photo slightly tilted and might have been more dynamic had sloping sidewalk been retained. Arm kind of covers action. I want to move to Europe but probably could not afford it! David Small- Salute Initially was drawn to image. I now find caption and photo compete. No indication this is above street level. Salute? hmmmm ... more like "lower the boom of that crane a bit, mate!" forced interpretation of image fails to move me. Jeff Spirer- Sacrifice I don't know ... am not getting a message but pattern is nevertheless nice to look at and could do so for a long time. Peeter Vissak - Cold yes but too busy in background ... competition to frozen branches too great for my "taste". Ernst-Ulrich Schafer Among more successful photos taken out of windshields methinks. Nice touch the ligh from lighhouse happened to shine towards car. Greg Fraser- Coffee House Also great sense of "place" ... almost rivaling Christiane's knack for dealing with this genre. On close examination the young lady in the distance is not really gazing admiringly at the photographer but rather contemplating the menaing of life itself. King/Arthur- In/Out/Beside kind of confusing and disconnected to anything I can make sense of - which may tell more about me than the photograph. Alan Zinn- Greeters, Toronto cool ... Christopher Strevens- Waiting for the Bus The blurry hand spoils what might have been an effective "street photo". Emily L. Ferguson- Sculpting the ice This reminds me of those images where you are asked to find out what it is all about or to find a hidden message within. Found it _real_ hard to find the sculptor. But then you were actually seeking help/advice re: lighting ... I think the little on-camera flash really does not work so well in such situations. A much larger light source would have helped methinks. Maybe available light? ... maybe with a little fill from the flash?? Andrew Davidhazy- Figure Probably trying too hard to make something happen out of something that should have been put to rest a long time before digital adjustments were attempted. Still, I find it kind of easy on the eyes ... maybe it should have been cropped at the hips ... but then it would not be what it is. Oh, well, back to the studio! asta, andy
