Well, for me it's easier to say what I don't take to, that's everything being in a straight line - blocks, boat, tanker. It is a window on Japan - real Japan as opposed to history. > Per Ofverbeck - Tulips Well, it has the aura of being a classic indoor still-life but, as you said, much of the life has started to leave the flowers. I like the overall arrangement and lighting a lot but ... it would work better with fresher flowers :o) > Achal Pashine - >Lovely little girl, only it would be nice to see what she´s so intent >in doing! World of her own by the look of it. Indeed, a lovely shot. > Barnet - Gardener "Barnet Fair"? >Bob, this time I don´t get it! Either you have a purpose with the >highly obnoxious background, or you´re pulling our legs... Not leg pulling - it wasn't just a random snap and though the viewfinder I did compose the background elements. I have to agree the background is a bit too bright (although I did want it lighter than the subject ... not that light). If I ever do anything else with this (other than the PF gallery) I'll darken and blur it a little. > Christopher Strevens - Cook >Photoshopped images, but for some reason I rather like this one. It's not bad at all. > Pini Vollach - Windows Interesting idea, well seen and executed. > Rodney Benjamin - Good composition. A little harsh and contrasty. Well, I like it. Is it contrasty? Maybe - I'm happy with it as is ... > Steve Shapiro - Another one of . . . >Still, I have an issue with those burnt-out and blacked-out parts, Ditto. Frankly I find no subtlety in the textures or lighting, without which it bores me.
