Richard Cooper Matthew Brady Great portrait shot. Would like to know more details. Is this man a photographer or an assistant? Amish or just likes beards? Is he famous that we should know him? Is he a friend, relation, or other? Your photo quality is sharp and bright. Even though there is a shadow on the subject's face, I do not find it distracting. Well balanced in the subject's placement. I like this one as a portrait. Greg Fraser Rain on Buckshot Lake I am a truly a "cloudy day depressive" person so shooting rain would only make me suicidal! Had the sun been shining, though, I would have enjoyed this image more as boats and water are some of my favorite things. I really like how the boat and the buoy (?) balance each other so there is not a bunch of empty water on the right. Would like to see more of the sky, but only if the clouds were gone. Dan Mitchell A Coil of Wire Very little light contrast, must have been a cloudy day here, too. As a composition, though, I find it very pleasing. Can't say why except I like old barns and buildings that look like barns. Even though the subject is surrounded by aged things, the greenery on the right adds a life as though the coil is still usable in some sort of capacity. I do like the contrast in colors and textures between the roof and the old slats that make up the side of the building. A nice work of art. Speaking of art, my property scape-ing is almost complete for this summer, so I'll have more time now to contribute. Though the pictures were few this week, I like them each for their own special reasons. Well done Richard, Greg and Dan! Shyrell Melara Photography http://yadtel.net/~jmelara/index.html
