Like I said - you’re a cynic Emily: Bob Sull - Lorain Lighthouse
An awful lot of big negative spaces here. They are not an asset to the image.
Everybody else calls it “negative space” as it is a design feature. If this was done for a commercial client, they would have space to drop some type into. Yoram Gelman - Inactive Chair at former Scranton Lace Factory, Scranton, Pennsylvania
It's a nice bentwood chair, the palette is lovely, the darkness is well managed, but there's no reason to include Lace Factory, or Scranton for that matter, in the title, as none of that appears in the image.
The Title? You pick up the name of the factory and blast him about that? I have to say, that’s really petty. David Dyer-Bennet - Snow lace
Miserable dirty end of winter snow, kinda, sorta lacy. It would probably have taken a whole day of checking out every spot of nearly melted snow in a 2 mile square area to find the one which actually could be construed to be lacy. And then to get it backlit with a nice, cold late sunset light - now that would have been something to shoot.
Yeah, the snow is always dirtier on the other side of the fence. John Palcewski - Musician
Many vital and strong things here - the proud roman nose and well contrasted profile, the eternal street musician's red mother-of-pearl piano accordian, the look of concentration in the face, the stretched hand. How many who viewed the gallery this week noticed the strongest item down at the bottom.
The greatest? I agree it’s better than yours, but the greatest? It’s not my favorite. My favorite is the one with all that unneeded space.
I guess I will have to not locate any of my shots in the gallery in the future unless they include a sign with the name of the town on it.
