Here they are: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html Here I go: Emily L. Ferguson - The thing I like moist is the stained glass window feel I get from the intense blue and underexposed foreground. Its also neat how some of the lines lead up to the top of the flag while others lead to an apex higher and to the right. Interesting play and even though its just a bunch of lines, they are obviously the rigging of a ship and there can be no bad naval shots. Bob Talbot (Hide) - More blue. Gotta love that and the lovely blend of peaceful colors. The amount of blur and shake was minimal enough that I was interested in figuring out I was looking at. At first I wondered if 'hide' referred to the skin of an animal since the leaves atop the right hand brown splotch resemble the claws of some fierce predator hiding in the plants at the right. But having looked longer, I see a person sitting on a curb (perhaps) and hiding under a towel. Far less dramatic but my active imagination keeps turning the leaves into claws. I'm curious though about the blue squares. Are they the dividers of a multi-paned window? Achal Pashine (Baby Bird) - Just as I looked at this shot, the air conditioning vent blew some much needed fresh(er) air in my face. That mixed with the sunny scene gave me the feeling I was standing in my back yard on a sunny day. I like the way the foliage forms a diagonal line through the center of the image. This line parallels the bird's beak and it's legs. All these lines form an 'X' with the bird's torso. The fence boards at the right are soft enough and neutral enough to not distract me and at the same time sort of ground the bird. Lucky for you the closest board is too close and the next one too far to be in focus. Well, if it was my shot it would have been lucky but you may have planned it. I don't get much thrill from bird shots but I suppose the familiarity of the surroundings appeal to me with this one. Jim Davis (Fishing in the grass) - The light ain't warm and fuzzy but I don't care much. Maybe its the quality of light that I find interesting. It seems to be very cool and well suited to the beautiful plumage. The fine sticks and branches seem to fit the lighting and I like the way the bird's reflection touches the bird at the tail and feet. D.L. Shipman (Cloud and Palm) - Classic struggle of black and white, good and evil, pointy and puffy. In the background cirrus clouds hover watching the action unfolding on a time scale far slower than our own. Pure drama. John Warner (Morning after the gale, Cornwall) - Love the saturated colors of the luxuriously wet grass. I specially like the many shades of blue woven throughout the scene. Hey another blue image! It's on the leaves, in the water and the sky and concentrated into that bright blue thing (tarp perhaps) beside the grey building. Beautiful scenery too. I love how people cram themselves together anywhere beautiful like this. katherine e. boucher (waterreflect 2003) - This is so smooth it looks like that shiny wrapping paper. Again we've got lovely rich colors but the pattern is a little dull. Still, I love a good reflection. Andrew Davidhazy (Wasp on the loose) - I really like your technical shots. Not only does the wasp have to hit crossed laser beams to activate the shutter but the lighting on the wasp is great and because its on a solid black background I can easily highlight it in Photoshop and steal it to use in an image of my own. Now to up the challenge, get a shot of a bee meeting a .22 slug as it crosses the laser beams. Thanks once again to our contributors and all that crap.
