The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated OCT 13 2007. Authors with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include: Agreed. I find the relatively higher-contrast of the figures in the lower-left corner distracting. The lighter area down there pulls my eyes there and distracts from his face and the guitar.Roy Miller - Doc Watson As a few others have commented, I am sorry that this was not sharper. I like his position within the frame. Very nice composition. I like the contrast with the high-key IR background. Nice detail that the horse's nose stands out from the fence. Especially like the white line across the top of the fence separating it from the darkness of the animal.Rene M Hales - Horse Dreaming I just loved the look in this horse's eyes. There seemed to be a dreaminess there that got me. Agreed.D.L. Shipman - Looking out my back door Nice IR work. Are you using film or a digital camera? You certainly nailed the white vegetation and I like your sky. I think perhaps the image lacks a focal point for me. Robert Read - You captured such a moment of joy. I love the child's reach for the bubbles. Makes me want to go blow some bubbles myself and enjoy pure abandon. Christopher Strevens - Blue Ball Very interesting subject for a still life. The composition is unique and I agree with others - thoughtful. Very careful placement of the bowl to block the light and the near-perfect centering of the catchlight on the marble in the bowl. It's a picket of corn; maybe like the guards guarding the prisoners working in the field in "Cool Hand Luke"? Don't have anything to say in the way of criticism. I just like the picture.Linda Buttstead - Braidentown Train Depot There are lines leading us into the image. The green hedge does not work for me, but not sure what you could have done. Don't know if it would have worked to take a few steps in and shoot much the same shot sort of past the hedge. Marilyn Dalrymple -Spooky find. I like the idea that your find may lead to a story. Congratulations on your recent writing successes. That is great. Emily L. Ferguson - Guardian Fence This picture certainly engendered a lot of conversation. I like this shot. It seems like the pumpkins are prisoners to the corn. I think I would like it even better, though it may take it to far, to crop the sky out from the top. Sorry if it's not kosher to re-use someone's post. I'm supposed to be studying biology right now and figuring out how to make graphs in excel. That made looking at photos especially important right this minute. Even though I never comment I really enjoy looking at the photos and reading what you all say. Keep meaning to be involved, keep being busy. Pasha |
