On Sat, Apr 26, 2014 the PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated. On display at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html :
Bob McCulloch - Fungus
This is more like a catalogue photo of this fungus. And I'd like more information about it. . . name, edibility, etc.
Art Faul - Main Street, Corinth, MS
If that's not a temporary facade on that middle building, the owners should be arrested for disturbing the peace. Or for something. The photo is a good document of the old and . . . and what? I like the shadows from the sun on the horizon.
Yoram Gelman - Snow Stroll
I guess John Palcewski is right about the foreground, but I did nothing to the color. She was dressed that way (hah, kids these days!). I was just so suffused in the idea of all that snow that I didn't really try to improve the image.
John Palcewski wrote: No question this conveys wintery snow, but then the foreground competes with the apparent subject of child, adult and dog, making this excessively busy. Also, I don't quite see the aesthetic point of putting a purple tint on the child and leaving the rest of the image black, gray, and white.
Herschel Mair - Ungie in the backyard
Interesting technique description and subject. The blue of her overalls seems over saturated, to me. But her tattoo matches her spunky attitude. Don't see any dress, though -- nor even any shirt!
John Palcewski - Leaf
Nice color and context, but I always find it hard to like when the center of attention is in the center of the image. And in this case the slanted bar at upper right ends in the corner of the frame -- that's a stopper for me. Both of these things make the image have no motion. The reflection spot at lower left could be used, but in playing around with various droppings I could not do anything. . . .I would move the leaf!
Don Roberts - Redtail
Nice image of a hawk, framed by the branches. I especially enjoy seeing the spots of brown feathers in that pattern on the underside. I know the feet are rarely seen, so I don't mind not seeing them. But the top of its head is covered up; that's a bummer.
