And there's Melara trailing behind... Wrote this several days ago. Haven't had time to post. Sorry. Don Roberts - Tin Bales A striking combination of color and shine. Perhaps a close up on one bale would leave the viewer guessing. That's always fun. I have only one problem, the space in the lower right corner makes the stack look like it's about to fall over. I'm getting the urge to run up to it and prop it up. Good job. Herschel Mair - Omani Boatman I always love bright sunny photographs. his one has a good color balance with the blue water, green trim and red box all complimenting each other. There's just enough light on the man's face so we don't have to strain to see it. Sharp focus, great water reflections. Makes me feel peaceful. Lee Murphy - Rachel, 11 months Beautiful use of Rembrandt lighting. Nicely centered with just enough contrast. Lovely to look at. Terry L. Mair - Brendt Another great portrait. I like the way the subject is posed and the smile on his face is playful and attractive. In a sepia tone it might just look authentic. Do you do period photography on a regular basis? It looks like fun. Guy Gloriux - City Lights I like this fish eye effect. I like watching big cities all lit up at night as well. The clouds appear a little flat. Outside of that, another good picture this week. David Small I do like this one as well. The tree on the left and the people on the ground make a nice frame that makes the gates pop. That, along with the bright orange color. Mark Harris - Central Park Gates This one is a little dark around the group of people. Not an unpleasant picture, but I wonder if cropping out the arch on the left side and the solid black shadow on the bottom might frame the view in a little more interesting manner. Michael J. Mulley - County Fair, 1988 I don't see anything that would make me think this is a fair. It looks more like a lost and found love. It is also very dark in all the important places making it a little flat as well. Trevor Cunningham - Fishing Nets A fine example of black and white.Nice play of lights and darks. A pleasing combination of baskets and bricks. The title matches the subject matter. Chris Strevens - Flower Shop at Morden Another great color combination with the yellows, greens, and reds. I like the ragged edges and brush strokes. An artful effect. You continue to improve in your works in PS. Keep it up.
