Gary Colnar, Regal Theater: A truky "Disneylandish" image. Not my cup of tea, normally, but this one has an Art Deco flavour I rather like.
Achal Paschine, Sunrise: One word: quiet. Want to be there...
Trevor Cunningham, Wadi Rum: A rum one alright... Very difficult to make it out at first. Did you use a red filter? A lighter one would have kept the sky lighter, and the image would have gained, I think.
Leslie Spurlock, Faith and Hope: What I really like about the two pics Les has shown, is the wonderful light and the general feeling of good old B/W photojournalism, almost Gene Smith-ish. What detracts are details that are visually unexplained, like the hairpins in last week´s image, and that scarf tie in this one. As others have said, keep on shootin´... You´re on the right track, sure.
Jim Davis, Success: Top notch job (1/2000th and be there...). Most wildlife photogs would be jealous abot this one.
Johnny Mason, "UFO": To me, looks more like a frying pan with goggles, but then I´m a firm non-believer in these matters.
Rubin Diehl, Wild Flower: Good composition. Would have been improved by softer light, I think.
Emily Ferguson, Jack came to visit: Well, old Jack Frost has been busy here in Sweden too... Like the curves, but I can imagine the scan lost lots of the glitter; this must be a scanner´s absolute nightmare...
Kostas Papatokas, Irony: Now, without the extensive discussion, I would probably never even have noticed that other photographer, and I still can´t se it as much of an irony, only a funny incident. Without the story, I´m afraid i just see another tourist snap among millions.
William Downey, C-47 Ghost: Golly, I thought it was a DC-3 (don´t kill me...). Anyhow, you sure succeded in getting a timeless feeling about it.
Andrew Davidhazy, Figure: Just found her older sister on the cover of Gruber´s Imaginary Photo Museum.. ;-) That one is a solarization by Man Ray, and Andy´s image also takes me back to the period of photo-graphics (Ray, Bayer, Hajek-halke). Not a bad company, really..
OK, that´s it. Just an answer to those wo asked about my contribution: the product (not) advertised was... water treatment expertise!
