My honest thoughts on this week's bunch of images. John Mason Staging Lane, Eastside Raceway, 21 March 2004 - I like this, except for what looks like perhaps the photographer's finger in the bottom left corner making a blur. Good use of black and white. Nice use of a square frame. Don Roberts Sure and Certain Hope - Well, for a graveyard scene, this is a nice shot. Good tonal range, nice use of colour, well framed. I think the title is fine. Dan Mitchell Lynn Ferry - This one does nothing for me, sorry. I don't like the positioning of the people, nor the boat. It's also a bit too small. Overall, just a poor snapshot. Peeter Vissak 6 o'clock drink - Another nice square format image. It's a shame I can't see just a bit more detail in the dog's head, but nice shot with a great mood and colour. Pini Vollach Farm - Certainly, this is an interesting image, also with nice colour. Just a bit too confusing though, it might have been better without the bottom right pallets. The open and rusted sawblade makes me wonder if the rest of the sawmill has disintegrated, or just what it's doing in that position. It seems too high and with no platform. WRGill - I find the colours a bit strange, but interesting. The moon just seems out of place, not unrealistically, but uninterestingly. I would have placed it more to the right, perhaps eclipsed by the hills. Christopher Strevens Street - Ok, the effect is nice, but the trucks and that pole ruin the scene. Might have been nice with people instead of a garbage truck. Jim Davis Backlight on White Bird - thanks for the nice comments on this one. It is lovely now with spring here to get some fresh green in images. Bob Talbot Flamingo - Weird and wonderful image Bob. Not my style though :-) Andrew Davidhazy - Lovely girl well posed. I find it interesting that although the backlight seems even on both sides of the head, her face shows classic 45 degree lighting. Perhaps lit by a large reflective surface? I'm so glad the reviews and gallery submissions have picked up. I look forward to the gallery each week. -- Need a brighter headlight the safe way?
