Due to various problems with mail at RIT these words from Marilyn may not have made it on the list so at the risk of possibly you all receiving this twice it was decided to send them forward. Cheers, ADavidhazy - for PhotoForum Greg Fraser Double-mega- multi-millionaire: I'm a little lost where the title is concerned, but I like the photograph. The red and blue colors are striking and the photo is nicely designed. My eye goes from the red wall, to the overhanging "arm," to the trees and image on the tan wall, then back to the red wall. Interesting. Lea Murphy Angel: Very nice exposure - great tones from white to black, and I can see the texture of the dog's fur. Cute expression on the dog's face. I even like the lines of the floor planks. A very nice photograph and I'm sure Angel's owner wanted a copy. Museki Abe Autumn Color 2: I like the soft, quiet feel of this photograph, but my eyes don't rest anywhere. It seems to need a point of interest - but again - I think this photograph is wonderful for your Haiku site, Museki. It would lend itself to being expressed in poetry nicely. Don Roberts Garden Spider: An interesting web. I've never seen the zig-zag design of one before. Just to add interest, you may try printing this photograph diagonally, so the web goes from the upper left hand corner to the lower right, hand corner, for instance. (I'd try this just for the heck of it.) David Small Hells Kitchen N.Y.C. This photograph has a lot of mood and you did capture that "gritty" feel. I spent a long time looking at the young girl, wondering what she was thinking and why she was by herself sitting in the dark. I think this makes a successful photograph - when it gets the viewers involved and contemplating the photo's subject, it's a good image. Pini Vollach reflection: The most fascinating part of the photograph to me is the design in the water's upper half (the green shadows and reflections.) I find the lower 1/3 or 1/2 of the photograph a little distracting. If this were my photograph I'd work with the portion from the tree, trunk, across the top of the debris in the lower half of the photograph to the right hand and upper edges. This portion has a beautiful "Monet-like", soft painterly quality to it. Thank you to all who shared there work ands to Andy and staff for hanging the gallery. I enjoyed the show very much.
