My comments on this weeks Gallery Exhibits (http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html). Never done this before, so bear with me! ;-) Lea Murphy: Lauren Murphy one day before leaving for her senior year of college A nice warm portrait, probably difficult to capture by anyone other than her mother. It tells me a lot (I think!) about what Lauren is like as a person, which is what a good portrait should do. Emily L. Ferguson: Yesterday we went fishing Not sure about this. This idea is nice, but perhaps there are one too many fish present? If it were me I would have cheated a bit and done a little pre-arranging. Also I would have added just a tad more contrast to the image, and maybe gone a bit sloser to get rid of the apce at the top (or perhaps add some space at the bottom?). Qkano: Caz Cute happy snap, timed perfectly Renate Volz: After the Rain Pretty nature shot, been done a zillion times but for a reason, Shots like these are beautiful to look at. Interesting composition. Sue Butler: untitled Nice shot, too bad about the boring background. Maybe a bit dull (or perhaps unfortunate light angle?), I think action sports like photography benefit from a little boost in contrast. Per Ofverbeck: Gingko Leaves Not sure about this. There isn't enough there to put the leaves into context. It might make a nice illustration for a botany textbook. Judith Curiel: Passion Flower Interesting. At first glance it looked like a weird Turkey. Love the colours. Elson T. Elizaga: Newlyweds This is OK, probably something that the newlweds would like to have. Timothy A. Holmes: Global Flyer It looks like it was taken at 10,000 feet. I can't tell that it was at an airshow. Was this just a special test flight for the benefit of the show? Bob Sull:Who called this meeting? I hate bees. This might look better in a larger version, but in the small size it doesn't look particularly sharp, and I think flower pics like this should be really really sharp (did I just quote a rule?). Steve Shapiro: Leica B The subject is interesting, but this isn't the best catalogue photo I've seen. -dan c.
