looking down at Drake's Estero: Nicely framed and composed, I‘d enjoy this image more if there were something that gave me some idea of how high up you were and the size of the area photographed – like a figure on the beach or on the side of the slope (although I get the feeling it may have been too steep and/or too high up to have someone sit there safely). Ashley Simmons: The item in the right
hand third of the picture (a door frame or part of a wall?) is a little
distracting and takes away from the mood of the low light photograph because
that particular item is well lit. Other than that, I like the feel and the
mood of the image.
John Retallack: What a fascinating story and
inspiring couple. I’d love to sit down and talk to them. There is
information visually and written, which makes this a very interesting
photograph. It makes me want to know more about the couple and their
project and looks as if they have done an amazing job of creating their
museum. I’m wondering if I’d like the photograph more if you had backed up
and included all of their legs and feet, giving the photograph more
depth?

Survivor: A well done photograph. Upon viewing the photograph I felt a tickling sensation on my neck, although I avoid harming any insect, I’m not particularly fond of spiders (I still don’t squish if I see one, however). After reading your description of the image, however, I was thinking, poor little spider; what a trooper. I’d have to say this is a very affective and effective photograph. untidy:I can relate to this, Christopher, and it doesn’t necessarily mean the scene is “untidy”. I think creative people sometimes have their minds going in so many directions, minor things – like tidiness – get lost in the shuffle. Most of the time I’d rather have the companionship of a creative person than a tidy person. Bob

Sunrise over Brooklyn: Magnificent colors! This is an image that is exciting because of the beautiful colors and scene, but at the same time it’s relaxing because of the beauty. Michael

Holding the gate for Spring: The image and the title are poetic, but the flowers need to be emphasized just a little more. Trevor

grenadine: I’ve had pomegranate trees so I recognized this immediately. I like this photograph; black and white is perfect, it’s unusual enough to grab my interest and it’s well done – especially the lighting. Thank you to all who submitted their work to
the gallery, and to Andy and staff’s dedication to hanging the show. I
enjoyed it.
