The PhotoForum gallery is on the web at <http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html>. Morley Roberts -- Sea Furniture -- This is one of those pictures I don't think I'd ever have taken, which is kinda neat when I look at it. The boat doesn't seem to be moving, but is sure pumping pretty hard (and engine exhaust coming out, too). That corner of the boat seems to be filled with floating things of various sorts, and stuff to connect them together. The big long ones look like radar reflectors at the top; so they're presumably intended to float with that part sticking up from the water, so there's probably an extension of the shaft and a weight below the white floats? Anyway, it's an interesting look at a bit of working nautical stuff I don't usually get to see. I don't know what any of the three things in your "additional details" mean, would you explain? Eric Grace -- Dew In The Morning -- nice curvy leaves, nice greens and purpose, and some dew droplets; maybe not enough of those. D.L. Shipman -- Parrots are such fascinating birds. Even this relatively muted one has a *really* bright red tail. The highlight at the top of the trunk at the left edge of the frame is troubling -- maybe an unsuccessful fix for a much brighter highlight? I love the view of the feathers all down the side of the neck and wing. Jim Snarski -- Flying Flower -- Looks overexposed, undersaturated, and perhaps a bit oversharpened to me. And couldn't the butterfly have chosen a flower that goes better with orange? :-) Marilyn Dalrymple -- The 'Albert Schuster Hall,' Lancaster, CA. -- I dunno that it's a very interesting hall, but you know, this photo of it has some interest. I like how the windows produce patches of light on the walls and floor. And it looks like a spacious and *useful* room. For this kind of work I'd *strongly* suggest either leveling the camera carefully or correcting in photoshop afterwards; especially at the left edge where there's a perfect visual alignment check present, you can't afford to have things out of true (might need perspective correction). Your friend sounds like a fascinating man. Tim Mulholland -- Trillium -- And on a 6x7, even? Nice work! Looks like the white petals and yellow fiddly bits and the leaf that's probably the fourth petal are *all* sharp at once. The lighting shows the texture and shape of the petals nicely, too. Andrew Davidhazy -- Spill -- Okay, I'm a sucker for high-speed photos! The shape made by the spilling water is beautiful, and the lighting brings it out nicely. Thanks to everyone participating in the gallery this week! -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
