Marilyn Dalrymple-Chinese Gardens
Good balance and color. Maybe a step back would not have cropped the
left edge as much.The branches top left and lower right on the outside
of the wall merge with potted plants inside the courtyard to give
impression of depth. Nice shot.
Trevor Cunningham - Kelly and dogs.
Lovely shot. Near IR always imparts a little mystery to a scene. Try
that shot with out Kelly and the dogs. They are very strong competition
for the scenery.
Emily L Ferguson - Abby , Whitby
Whitby Abby is an interesting site. The main ruins are large and
stark and brooding. The arches contain some nice detailed carvings. This
shot does not reflect either aspect. It is a record shot, of more
interest to the photographer than the viewer.
Valery Firsov - Photographers
Wonderful! How could any one not smile at this shot. The expressions
are precious. They would never have posed so naturally and relaxed. The
skin tones are lovely. You made the shot from the girls eye level.
Children and pets look more natural from their own altitude. Try holding
your hand up to to the image to block most of the dark doorway and let
the door jamb become the part of the frame. Cropping a little on the
left side of the subjects, also, would leave a nice vertical. No? Yes?
John Palcewski - City of comics
Interesting location. I've seen a million news and fruit stands but
the poster windows are unique. Colors are great. This looks as if it is
an early morning scene. That is the best time for streets in a great city.
Christopher Strevens - The family
This has the look of an aged C-41 image. Colors are still decent.
The comment is more than I needed to know. You do have the image. Due to
a structure fire I lost the images of loved ones unseen for over forty
years. Unseen for all those years but never forgotten. Never.
Greg Fraser- 3rd
Overcast days often result in these saturated colours. Would like to
see more images from this event. Clean composition. The eye enters from
the left and is led by the background crowd out to the right to, uh,
well. Anyway the eye enters from the left and is led by the leading edge
past turbines and under wing stores pods to, uh, well... There is just
no escape, here is your basic Hoser in all his glory. Note the pristine
foot gear, the fresh map in the hip pocket (to find the quickest route
out of town), an ample frontal stowage area (for the beverages) suitably
clothed in bright orange sartorial elegance and lastly, the glasses (for
the odd bit of bird watching). How aboot that , aye?
Now before anyone takes umbrage let me proudly state I was for many
years a certified, card carrying Hoser and was afforded all the
privileges and responsibilities there of. But alas, due to a cowardly
and unfair attack of the liver I am no longer able to hold up my end ...
of the bar.Oh, and by the way there are a lot of legs in this image
because there are a lot people many of whom have two. Oh, and by by the
way anyone who thinks aux tanks are phallic symbols needs a cold shower
or fresh batteries, depending.
