Jim Snarski - Nice Catch
A beautiful bird, of a species unknown to me. Is it a juvenile
bird? Anyhow, I like the picture, although the void background makes
me think of stuffed birds on display against a white wall. But the
posture is lively, and the piece of food makes it even better.
Laurenz Bobke - Who's that?
Some kind of spider, counting the legs. A good example of how good a
small-sensor camera can be for close-ups, with its great depth-of-
field. A DSLR would have difficulty in getting the whole pod this
sharp.
Gregory david Stempel - The Harbor No. 3
Dramatic light, and a lively sky, but the image is too dark on my
monitor (supposed to be calibrated). Just noticed that Charles didn´t
like that gull; I do. It gives some feeling of serendipity to the
whole thing.
Herschel Mair - Aria
Absolutely beautiful! She looks happy and unposed, yet the
composition looks deliberate, and very good. Very competently
executed high-key, too.
Lea Murphy - Rachel and Joshie just before bedtime
A nice, drowsy couple. The lighting is possibly just a little harsh
for such a subject; would be better suited for a forceful male
portrait, but it is very well balanced. And the composition is
pleasing.
Guy Glorieux - Dark clouds over London
I just said that Gregory´s cloud image was too dark; I feel this one
is too light... (I´m grumpy tonight). And I don´t recognize London
at all (haven´t been there for several years). Anyhow, I like the
almost sci-fi look of the scene. If only it had been somewhat more
dramatic.. (Just opened it in PS, made a duplicate layer, and
changed its blending mode to "multiply". A step in the right
direction; more careful work would have improved things even more).
Don Roberts - Kentai Bridge
A beautiful and intriguing piece of construction, indeed! And a good
angle to shoot it from, with lots of depth and texture. Good scan
from what must be a rather difficult negative.

Emily L. Ferguson - Fall is coming
Funny, was out shooting lillies-of-the-valley here the other day;
they are exactly at this stage here too. My complaint here is that
the image is quite a bit too busy for my simple taste: too much
included, too many sunspots. I would get down on the ground (well, I
did!), and concentrate on just a few of these beautifully wilted
leaves, plus one or two stems with the red berries - and some blue
sky behind to make the leaves look slightly transparent. But I do
have lots of shots like this one myself, from when I wasn´t dressed
to crawl on the ground....
Trevor Cunningham - glow
Last week a curtain, this one looks like some wallpaper lit by a
window with some bird droppings.... Nice texture, expertly exposed,
but I find last week´s abstract more intriguing.
