Cagayan River:I like all the information this photograph has in it. I see so many opportunities for more photographs included in this one image. I'd take a vertical that includes just the jumping boys and splash in the river and close ups of the textures and soft colors of the buildings in the background. I would have tried a tighter horizontal, too. Cropped just above the boys' heads and below the boat. If forces my attention to the action taking place. What a great opportunity to be where this is happening. Peeter Vissak
Sir Liverleaf of Hazelwood: Delicate and graceful. The two blossoms and their stems remind me of ballet dancers. Renate Volz
Butterfly: Beautiful colors. Everything "butterfly" is in focus. Great job. Pablo Coronel
Humming Bird: It took me a minute to find the hummingbird. What an unusual sculpture. This photograph of it is well framed and composed. The space in the lower right hand corner bothers me a little. my eye keeps being drawn to the empty space, but I'm not sure what could be done about it. Maybe if you tilted your camera diagonally just a touch - up in the upper-right hand corner and down in the lower left hand corner so the framing isn't so tight in those areas? Paul Mahder
G: I'm gong to have to study this one some more. I think I'm trying to make too much out of the image and I'm having a hard time appreciating just what is there. Very original, though. Herschel Mair
veggie and rosewater seller: This is an unusual scene for me - something I never run into in my small, protected life here in the United States. For me the image is a little too busy, but that's my take on it. I'd have cropped closer to the figure and tried to blur the background by using a larger aperture.. However, your cropping tells the story of where this man lives and what he has to deal with on a daily basis. Roger Eichhorn
Family Dinner: Nice close up of the red bird. I like the dark background. Good framing and cropping. The red bird has that "caught in the act " look on its face. Emily L. Ferguson
Darn bottle won't break!: A nice slice of life moment caught with a camera. I find the space above the lady a little distracting and would like to see it cropped, but the viewer can tell exactly what is happening by her _expression_ and the expressions of those watching her. Trevor Cunningham
Anatomy of Flamenco 2: Dense as I am - I need a little more information to tell what is going on in this photograph. Is it part of a series? I'm sure more information could be seen if I were looking at the original photograph. Thank you to all who shared their work and to Andy and staff for hanging
the show. I learn a lot from this
gallery.
