After sometime away, I´m back.
Here´s my comments to this week gallery. By the way, it has some very nice photos. Compliments for all the photographers in there.
Charles Dias
Valery Firsov - Horsewoman
I like very much the motion effect and the dynamic look it creates, very nice. Colors are nice too but I think some some white balance correction would be nice in order to get the whites really whites, it´s something magenta in my screen. I´m afraid that tree trunk in front of the horsewoman didn't´t work for me just as the cut in the tip of the hose´s nose, sorry.
D.L. Shipman - Stilt House Englewood 2007
Very nice BW infrared shot. It´s lovely and perfectly converted. You pinpointed the contrast balance. Composition is very nice, well balanced. I dare to say this photo would be perfect for an architectural magazine or book cover.
Howard Leigh - Hardknott Pas
This photo remembers me Highlander movie locations. I think you should crop that tip of sky on the top and the tip of road on the bottom, it´s just distractive elements. Some color saturation, contrast and white balance correction would be nice too to allow all the shades of green to come alive. I dare to say you also should clone out that cars down the road with some delicate cloning tool work, it´s something distractive too.
Trevor Cunningham - landslide
I think this photos should have some color saturation, contrast and white balance correction to get colors more interesting. I´m not sure about that "lying L" shape of the slope and the flash line of trees, it´s configuring a weird composition line.
R. Blakely - Where's that Garter?
Funny photo for private use of the couple but it doesn´t´t get my attention.
Linda Buttstead - TRUST
If you get some drastic cropping here to get rid of all the black/red stuff and leave just the hand and the dog´s head, you get a nice image for a greeting card with a strong sentimental appeal.
Emily L. Ferguson - Cranberry Bog Storage Shed
Very nice that old yellow schools bus and its reflection on the water surface. I think you should concentrate this image just on this because all there rest is distraction. Crop it and work colors to get a very nice image.
Don Draper - Autumn view
Very nice mix of backlit and fall leaves, classical one. I like the colors and specially the way you got a perfect exposure. For some people that blurred green leaves on the foreground (right side) could be something distractive, but it´s not a problem for me. I think some color correction to get a gold tone would be nice.
