Oh God, It´s Friday.... ;-)
Just a few comments before rummaging for a contribution for tomorrow...
BTW, thanks to those who commented on my image last week! Much
appreciated.
The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated SEP 30
2006. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/
gallery.html include:
Emily L. Ferguson - Sloop Providence
Easily the best one you´ve shown here so far, Emily - and that´s
quite a high level to surpass! Reminds me of Paul Strand´s New
England work (although he seems to have stayed ashore...).
Guy Glorieux - 2006_09_27
Last week I grunted a bit about lack of contrast in Guy´s
contribution: This one is perfect! Good light, good sky, excellent
composition.
Tim Mulholland - Hanging Lake
Beautiful, should probably be seen far bigger. Like other reviewers,
I am disturbed by the overexposed top cliffs, only I´m not convinced
that cropping them out would work; the treetops and sky is
important. I´ve shot a few landscapes myself, and I´m well aware of
this type of problems.
Jeff Spirer - An Attachment
Well, Jeff´s images have a tendency of making you spill your tea
(meant as a positive comment; I don´t think Jeff is out to promote
our complacency...). A strange couple indeed, only somehow I don´t
find them, after all, half as revolting that they´re probably trying
hard to look. Photographically excellent, of course.
Marilyn Dalrymple -
The Eye of Mother Earth... Lovely! Only, while in Photoshop, you
might have toned down the bottom left shrubs and the sky just a
little, to concentrate on the deep blue water and the mirroring of
sky and cliffs. Otherwise, it is perfect!
D.L. Shipman - Englewood beach spring evening 2006
A nice panorama; again, one would have liked to see it real BIG!
Charles wanted a B/W conversion; I like the muted pastel colours a
lot. Would probably work well eiter way, but then it would have been
2 different images with very different moods.
Dan Mitchell - Remains of the day
Interesting scene. Would have preferred the hawk´s head and legs
slightly darker, just as the sunlit grass. Again, I have to disagree
with Charles (sorry, Charles, no offence meant! :-) ): if one would
crop away the surroundings and the feathers that remain of his
dinner, it would be just a bird portrait; now it´s a "scene from
Nature".
