Since there seems to be a shortage of reviewers this week,rather than
complain about it I decided to get off my backside and hunt and peck.
Pini Vollach
Excellent study of tonality and composition. My only suggestion would be to
possibly boost the contrast a bit to give you a blacker black in the shadows.
I really like this photo.
Robin G.--ramos alone.
when it comes to landscape photography,lighting is everything. This is a
perfect example of that. Practiclly any other atmospheric conditions would
have made this shot a boring cliche. But the hazy mist yells solitude.
Museki Abe--Japanese Rose
Although I am a gardener usually when I see flower photographs my first
reaction is "Oh no not another flower picture" But when color form and
technical skill come together as in this one I say show me more.
Jim Davis--Intensity
Wouldn't it be wonderfull if we mere humans could focus as intently on what
we were doing as that bird. Your shot effectivly tell the story.
Jeff Spirer. Reminds me of my New York hunting ground.The young lady in the
lower right corner makes this shot. I have the feeling that there are many
good photos to be taken in this area. Well done.
Greg Stempel--Power
This is similar to Robin Ramoses photo. The lighting makes the picture. It
brings my mind to many scenes i have seen at dusk driving the interstates. A
powerfull photo.
Don Roberts--Gated comunity
The title is perfect. You have a good eye for the seeing the humor around us.
Too bad it wasn't pearly gates.
Dan Mitchell--Self portrait
Dan this is a very funny photo. Not you the surroundings. But I get dizzy if
i look at it too long.
Greg Fraser--Conquest
The color and composition is great but I can't connect the title to the
photo. I think if you left it off and let the viewer use his imagination it
would be a stronger shot. It has a medievil look about it.
Christopher Stevens
Chris I think I know what you were trying to accomplish.The composition of
reds, but whether it was the angle you took it at or the time of day
something is missing. I think you have to ask yourself what motivated you to
take it.
Jay Bjerkin--fitness
Good framing, but as with Christophers shot I have to ask, your reasoning in
taking the photo. Somrtime if you ask these questions it gives you a
direction and helps to develop a style.I like the photo.I just don't know in
what context to place it.
Brian Roberts
Last but not least. This is my pick for the week. Although obviously it's not
straight photography.It demonstrates the artistic talent of the photographer.
It reminds me of the buried Chinese army coming to the surface. As
representational painting declined with the advent of photography. So I
believe representational photography will decline with the advent of
digital.At least in art photography.
