David Small -- Contrasts -- Surprisingly interesting. The shadow of
the branches looks three-dimensional!
Jim Snarski -- Egret Flight -- Very nice! The light lets me see the
layers of feathers making up most of the wing (and how little of the
wing is anything permanent!) The body getting all scrunched up into
aerodynamic form is kind of amusing. And in addition to the light
showing through the wings, the solid parts are lit so I can see them
clearly too.
Walter Mayes -- My Empire -- Okay, it IS an eagle. Nice sunset. Nice
use of near-silhouette.
Pini Vollach -- Lotus Girl -- She's sad, or at least very solemn. I
read it as sad because of the kinked stem near her hand, but that's
probably total nonsense (lots of other kinks in the stem, I doubt she
cares). Kind of shocking to see exotic (for me here) water flowers
lying on land.
Laurenz Bobke -- Freedom! -- The fence looks very dense and strong, but
the leaves are at least able to reach out!
John Palcewski -- Don't Bother Coming Back -- I haven't gone to read
the story, so I'm not getting the photo title (I presume that's why). I
like the narrow band of bright sun on the curved curtains, anyway!
Michael Hughes -- Surprise! -- Perfect timing on Mrs. Jerrold, looks
like. That looks like probably full-frame, and if I were the editor I'd
crop it considerably -- but I was trained to send full-frame to the
publication and let them worry about crop, since the page layout often
made a difference to what crop was really best overall (not just for the
picture in isolation).
Emily Ferguson -- late winter sunset -- I know that lovely soft glow on
the bottom of the clouds! I also know that crooked horizon, and try to
avoid it.
Rob Miracle -- Drenched -- Nice save; people set out to get this kind of
look deliberately sometimes too, so that makes it more credible :-).
That's sitting on the ground by a big motorcycle, right? Definitely
wet, all around!
Elson T. Elizaga -- Father and Son -- Your son's focus on your sketching
is intense! It's a very nice picture of the two of you.
