D.L. Shipman: "Herons, Venice rookery" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/shipman.html
a very nice look into the world of the Blue Heron.......makes me want to go back to my first love, nature photography
David Small: "Attack Gull" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/small.html
this isn't nature photography as I understand it......to me, nature photography reveals some beauty or some truth about the world we live in........this is surrealism.......and as such is fairly successful........I don't care for the big blob above the bird........
Greg Fraser: "Sunflower" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/fraser.html
sometimes a black and white photo can provide a new perspective on a subject we think we know well......this shot does that.......my only objection is the bit of leaf at the bottom centre that pulls my eye out of the picture........
Peeter Vissak: "How syrreal is the World!" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/vissak.html
yep, surreal........lots to look at and think about in this shot........somewhat distracted by the flare and the white blob but they fit in with the definition of *surreal*..........
Bob Talbot: "St. Abbs Harbour" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/talbot.html
I like this shot with one reservation........the red thing pulls my eye right out of the picture........without it, it becomes a very nice panorama.........
Lea Murphy: "Loic" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/lmurphy.html
sweet......and timeless.......can't help looking into those eyes and wondering what life has in store for this innocent child........
Don Roberts: "Vase at Sunrise" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/roberts.html
good study in form, texture and color.......still lifes are not my thing as a rule but I like this one........
Jim Snarski: "The Violinist" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/snarski.html
my shot.......modesty forbids
Rand Flory: "The Flower" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/flory.html
another shot that one can look at for a long time developing all sorts of stories around.......I would have cropped out the little blob of color in the upper right........
Gregory david Stempel: "Night Light" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/stempel.html
this picture doesn't do anything for me.......technically fine but it doesn't elicit any interest
King/Arthur: "Close In" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/kingarthur.html
another shot that doesn't say much to me......distorted and out of focus.......if there's a point to this one it's lost on me.......
Jimmy Harris: "Tex-ASS" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/jharris.html
what a fun picture.......you don't suppose that good old boy is objectifying that girl's er, for lack of a better word, *object*, do you????......and man, they really need to get somebody in there to clean up the litter.........
