I like the patterns that corn is making; it would have been good to be a little sharper. The horizon is tilted a bit, and the lone tree in the center makes a rather uneasy subject. > Bob Talbot - Light Box A very strong graphic, excellent composition and the fuzzy red background works well. I don't really have a clue what I'm looking at, except perhaps some interesting distorted reflections of pieces of metal. It could be a commercial piece, or an abstract. But it doesn't matter, this is very nicely done. > Robert G. Earnest - Reba A nice portrait. Mid-speech is a difficult pose for a portrait. This is a video grab? The image as a whole looks a bit like it was worked in photoshop: her face looks almost too smooth, her eyes a bit too intense, and something's funny about the depth of field, but it could just be me. It is quite possible that her face *is* smooth, her eyes *are* intense, and the DOF is what it is. Maybe you just tweaked the saturation. > Dan Mitchell - Harbor & Dock A good scene, but the foreground distraction of the shadow keeps forcing me to look at it. I think my eye is just looking for a subject, and the iron moor and the shadow become them. > John Palcewski - Run I don't get it. A previous commenter (sorry, I don't recall who it was), said that it should be in landscape so she has a frame to run into; I think that's a perceptive comment. But the picture isn't technically executed very well, and there's no interesting subject, her face is in shadow, and it's a very tight crop so we get no scenery. I mean, all photographs don't have to have deep meaning, but it should have meant something to you, and I don't get that feeling at all. I get the feeling you're just ogling her and it's a little creepy. > Michael Hughes - Dean Clough Mills Halifax Ok, but this is a photographic mailing list, and, besides probably being a photo of the artist's rendering, I don't see much relevancy. > Christopher Strevens - hungarian lake Well, you certainly have a flair for the surreal. You say "It is an oxbow lake", but there's only a little bit of water in the photo. Your viewpoint is intriguing, though, pointed square at the chair opposite you. I keep asking myself, is someone supposed to be there? was someone there who just left? What in particular made you shoot this photo, from this position, and want us to see it?
