:> The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated APR 09 2005. :> Authors :> with work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html :> include: :> :> D.L. Shipman - HAR! Allegorical shot. A sort of cheeky parrot, I like the colours, nice shot! :> Achal Pashine - Spring #2 Another flower shot... :> Jim Snarski - Rite of Spring Flowers again :> Christopher Strevens - Conversation This sort of shot has had sales. :> Laurenz Bobke - Sunset over Loch Morlich That is a nice picturesque shot that adorns 19th century paintings and early photographs. We are, when we make a picture like this, merely copying and old master. Really we must keep up with the times and take modern things that typify today's world. This type of shot has its place, however. :> Steve Shapiro - Was that another try at the pot of gold? As every cloud has a silver lining then rainy days have their rainbow. It seems that not all is nasty, but when I look at the natural world, it has its beauty but this hides harsh reality. Even after the sun dies and eats the Earth our galaxy will crash with our galactic cluster into the giant galactic cluster of Virgo and in this gargantuan collision, which has already begun, everything will be destroyed even our illustrious star ship flying space people cannot survive and after, a long time after all matter will be destroyed in the giant fireball crunch at the end of the Universe. Our lives are so completely insignificant. Why was I born? And then the silver lining, the rainbow, a new Universe is born from the shredded remains of the old, a new Heaven and a new Earth. Jesus said that! :> Gary M. Thomas - A Corner of a Foreign Field that is Forever :> England We will all be Europeans soon! :> Don Roberts - Marshland The variety of habitats is amazing. Everywhere is similar bu different. :> Trevor Cunningham - at the lake Not seen such a dull, depressing, picture like this one for some time. It looks like it was very overexposed then over printed to give this dull effect. Try a higher contrast paper, and a better day with a few people around. :> Kostas Papakotas - Lower Mani at Dawn The power lines or telegraph cables spoiled that shot, I know they were there, but I have spent hours cloning out these intrusive lines on some of my shots, unless they form the subject of the shot. :> Deen Hameed - This looks like a small section of a much bigger frame with the background replaced by white. The encounter is interesting and looks like its between a senior teacher and a rather nervous schoolgirl in the fourth grade. It is quite an interesting shot. :> WRGill - Robinson Canyon "S" Curve Really quite abstract but could be improved by a detail removal tool. A simplifier like Buzz or a watercolour effect would suit, but best of all might be an oil effect so that only the main lines remain. Chris.
