I have no idea what it says; perhaps it doesn't really matter. One interesting this about this shot is that the perspective that it is shot at matches the decreasing number of vertical letters on the blue. In other words, the white on blue letters as a foursome make a triangle that mimics the perspective of the shot. > Dan Mitchell - Wedding Cake A sweet picture. I like the expression on the groom's face. The whole frame is a bit busy, and the lights above the couple's head are distracting, but for a street grab shot it is cute. > Bob McCulloch - High Falls Kind of a small photograph, so it is hard to see the details. Perhaps you can make it slightly larger next time. The panorama crop means that your short edge is rather, well, short. It is a pretty enough scene, but it looks like exposure of the water may be blown out near the bottom. Mid-day is a difficult time to take pictures. If you had the equipment, you could have used an ND filter and smoothed the water out with a long exposure. > Klaus Knuth - The flowering plant breaks through the rock. Certainly a cliche, but in this case, a pretty one. I like the lighting here, where the center of interest is lit by a spotlight. > Jan Faul - Water and Sand There are similarities in this photograph to the last photograph Jan/Art submitted, so it draws comparisons, adding some interest. As an individual photograph, however, there is not much interest here. This photograph, like the last one, is also about a vehicle jutting in to the photograph of a house facade shot square to the camera. The boat, in this case, is much more a part of the picture (that the previous car was); it aggressively forces the view to notice it, as it is also lighter than the rest of the photo. Perhaps, as a series, he may be onto something. I guess we'll have to see his next submission to find out. > Andrew Davidhazy - Silo A bold geometric study with three large triangles, and many small ones. It is minimalistic and abstract. The technical details of how it was made are useful in an academic way, but certainly not necessary to the photograph. However, even though the border can now be generated in software, it is nice to hear that it is natural to the process. Andrew
