Comments on Friday Photographs
Andrew Davidhazy
Battered but not Beaten…
My daughter, who paints animals professionally - if you're interested see http://www.sarahspetportraits.co.uk - would love this! My only thought was the image seemed somewhat low w.r.t. colour saturation, and the background seems similarly lacking? Otherwise, fine!
Bob McCulloch
Highland Overlook
Perhaps it's just me - but in seascape images I prefer to see something of the horizon; here it appears to be cropped out. I feel the foreground lacks interest, though the boat is framed nicely.
John Palcewski
Feeling
Nice observation. Reminds me of a famous poster from the 1970s, though the tennis player is scratching her naked rear! See http://tinyurl.com/nunhu5k
Bob Sull
Thanksgiving
Snowy scenes are very difficult to get right. Get the snow right, the subjects are often too dark, as here; get the subjects right and the snow "blows out"! As a photo to accompany the storyline this is otherwise fine; but does it work as a standalone? For me, I fear it doesn't!
Art Faul
Indian Head
I like this image, though on a variety of fronts. The reflections, the medium format B&W film usage, the recording of a common service. I like the use of the window frame to separate what are apparently 2 distinct halves of the store, with the right hand reflection overpowering the inside of the store questioning what in fact is the reality observed by the viewer. Hope that makes sense!

NOTICE: There is a new series exhibition in Gallery-10. Photographs by Randy Little on Children of Beijing. See it at http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-10/index.html
Last week the counter read 9570 and when this collection was installed the counter read 9660
Enqueued for future installation: none - contributions welcome!
To participate in this activity find instructions at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-sub.html
Send your contributions early and anything you can do to prepare the photographs so they do not require additional adjustment would be much appreciated. Especially keeping them near 1000 pix in longest dimension and 200Kb in maximum size. Large images that run off the edges of average monitors are a pain. Larger is not always better!
Please take an extra minute to abide by this request but if you have doubts about how to prepare images just send them anyway and the capable gallery staff will adjust them for exhibition.
Did you know you could have a series exhibition? Learn all about it on the instructions page mentioned above.
