Fred Hecker - Wow. You gotta be proud of this one. I love the dark intensity and the classic painting look. I hope you were using a small camera because judging by the look on her face, I would say she shoved your camera down your throat after you took her picture. Outstanding. J Michael Sullivan - Another beautiful shot with the flat background, indirect lighting, monochromatic color scheme and the contrast between black branches and white snow. The only sore spot are the copyright and watermark which destroy the mood of the image. Pity. Hans Klemmer - Excellent location. The image looks like it could use some more dramatic lighting but I really like the way the water 'light' spills into the pool. Rob Miracle - Ahhhh...cloud topped mountain with golden sunlight pouring into the scene. A shame about the rusty roof bottom right although gestalt wise it does go with the mountain. Trevor Cunningham - Another great site with excellent contrast of the warm, flowing, ornage robe and the cold, rigid stone. I also like the way the simple, wooden frame of the opening tones down the complex carving and the wrinkles in the robe. Bob McCulloch - Extreme contrast like this makes it really tough to get any detail from the shadows but what really bothers me is that the color balance seems to be quite off. I wasn't at the parade but I'm assuming the dragon's teeth should be white yet they show C-2%, M-7% and Y-30%. The shadow on the dragon's mouth looks like the time of day is pretty close to noon so the light should be less yellow. Don Roberts - Love those old trains and the blue glow coming from the left and the way you shot what appears to be a corner. To me this adds a lot of drama to the shot. The slanted thing bottom left of the 'corner' also adds needed tension and movement to the composition. Sweet. Greg
