Fine art on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html includes: > Qkano - Crab Spider Which? Crab or spider? Srinivasa Rao Regeti - Town of Warrenton Faux sepia effect gives a warm feel to this pleasant little image. I kind of like looking at if but if I try to analyse why I can't see why I should. I get a small sensation of to leaning left a little: I suspect because of the camera being tilted up to take the shot (convergence) and the shop doorway being aligned with the right edge of the frame. It's not unpleasant though. Herschel Mair - Camel trader in Oman Nice portrait: I don't mind he's not looking at the camera. Certainly has a look of "character" about him. Emily L. Ferguson - No fish Fun silhoette. Think it works as it is but still suspect it would have been far more powerful with just the fisherman. I like the aerial perspective given by the haze. Rich Mason - Forest Sorry, can't comment on this, it's not a real forest :o) OK, yup, well taken. I was looking on the beach at Brighton only the other week and there sure are a lot of interesting patterns to be found (discovered?) in the sand. A very effective abstract all the same. Looks more like tendons than trees though. Laurenz Bobke - Luxor Sunrise Maybe it was like that (hazy) but it looks a bit too hazy (washed out?) for me. Heck, it was Velvia as well, I would have expected that to exaggerate any contrast there and certainly enhance the saturation. I feel I'm deprived of seeing the ground for no good reason, maybe there was something there you needed to exclude. If I could move the baloon I would place it higher and left. Sorry, it's not growing on me. Brian van den Broek - A Pillar of Society OPA? OK, maybe it is but so what? Patterns in sand are god's art and the photographer just records them :o) It's cropped, straightened etc in Picassa. Do I like the picture enough to hang it on the wall? No. Err, OK, it still seems to lack something though. Texture in the stone? Contrast? Or is it the point of focus which seens to be higher up than the scultpture's face. Terry L. Mair - Early morning Timp As shown I'm getting little out of this. The interest is in the far mountains but at the size shown I can barely make out any detail. It's all a bit too symmetrical and predicatable for me to really like it. Sure, it's OK, but I'm looking for images to rave about. Pini Vollach - Hands Focus seems soft on the baby's face which is where I would expect it to be. The woman's shirt is pin-sharp. The subject matter - fine by me - but apart from it saying "this is a baby having a drink" it's not giving me any other associations - unlike last's week's image. Christopher Strevens - Judy I'm left speechless. The edge-effects are interesting, makes it look like the emulsion was applied with a paint scraper.. It's a rendered image (?). > There are 3 photographs (by Polly, Shipman and Talbot) OOOPS! Looks like I broke the rules (having sent in my next pic before the first appeared in the gallery). Sorry Andy, I blame the NHS! Bob
