Thank you all who commented on my submission last week. I replied privately to most of you and appreciate all comments, positive or not.

Some thoughts on this week's exhibit.

           Trevor Cunningham - one rope

I would imagine that this image has a completely different look printed very large. I like the visual flow along all the blue boats up to the larger ships at the top. Well done, Trevor!

           John Palcewski - Ischia Ponte

I like the image, especially the inclusion of the birds which help break up the large expanse of sky. I'm not sure the vertical allignment of the boat and mountain is the strongest composition but it seems to work OK here.

           Jim Snarski - Birds of a Feather

A very nice, almost abstract composition, Jim. This is a view of the mass of geese we don't often see, but should. It gives the feeling of what it is like to see this.

           Don Roberts - Black Angel IR

A very creative use of a found tool. I like the way the trees both frame and hold, like arms, the statue. If it is the IR that gives those trees this look then it made a big difference.

           Mario Filipe Pires - Power, corruption & flowers

I'm not sure I fully understand the title but I like the image very much. The muted colors are very much like the result people get from hand coloring B&W photographs. The composition and lighing are well done.

           Christopher Strevens - Blue Danube

I'm not sure why you do not like your own submission this week, Christopher, it has a certain sense of an oncoming storm. I'm not sure if this portrays a physical storm or an emotional one but that is what I get from it.

           Emily L. Ferguson - Clear Day's End

Sometimes it is nice to see a photograph that is good because it is pretty. This one is very pretty. Yes, the composition and use of the silhouette of the trees supports the beauty of the sunset, in the end it is very nicely captured.

           Dan Mitchell - Fishing

This might be pictorial in feel but is certainly sharply focused and of good contrast and detail. It has held up well over the years, Dan. Thank you for sharing it.
