michael_elenko Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 <p>Thanks Javier for the compliment. I wish I could have squeezed the man’s feet into the frame. If I stepped back another inch, it would have been the last inch travelled by my feet (and tush) as traffic was zooming by that closely behind me.<br /> <br /> My favorites this week:<br /> <br /> Javier, I like the first one. The look the woman gave you is priceless. Is she getting her fortune read?<br /> <br /> George C. That is one poignant portrait. Well crafted indeed.<br /> <br /> Doug R, your family looks great. I’m sure you have to move fast to keep up with them. I also like Circular Perspective--nice idea, great textures, and that magenta color rocks.<br /> <br /> Robert C, unleashed you are taking things up a level I see. I like them all and they are all different. The Philly in Fog looks like it is out of Time After Time. <br /> I can see being back with the in-laws in Philadelphia later in 2010. We will have to hit the streets and parks a few times. I’m sure Haig can arrange some appointments to bring him there too.<br /> <br /> Peter Barnes, that’s some “defective” lens. The detail, accuracy, and color is stunning. I think I’ll pack mine for tomorrow as you have inspired me.<br /> <br /> Manuel R, I like the Wall, especially the content. With some more post processing the drama of the lighting could be brought out strongly.<br /> <br /> Beerbrain/Ronny Perry, yeah I like the first two, So American. One day Javier and I are going to show up at your doorstep begging to be taken around to your haunts.<br /> <br /> Tony Evans, They are all classic shots. I’m not thrilled about the frames. . .but the art is spot on.<br /> <br /> Sigmar Dau, the second one is clever and subtle. The color adds so much.<br /> <br /> Robert Buck, the Milky Way with Andromeda visible is impressive. I have to travel 4 hours to hit that degree of darkness.<br /> <br /> Hin, the K-X with the DA 40mm is quite the alien-looking kit. I would think it attracts quite a bit of attention out there in public.<br /> <br /> ME</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htarragon Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 <p>My faves:<br> Javier - #1 - it's the girl on the left - sweet- and the joy of pic #2<br> Jeremiah - #1 is the most adorable child (who already knows how to pose), # 2 is mighty cute & #3 is beautiful - true portraits, all<br> Sean - #1 is pulling me out there - the feeling of the vastness goes right inside me<br> Doug #2 has a classic feel to it Is that film?<br> Michael - You've caught the delicacy of the light beautifully and #3 is very touching<br> Robert - #s 1&2 are out of a victorian ghost story - #1 is scary, truly an apparition. #3 is -can I say it? - the picture of serenity.<br> Peter - the church looks like it was dropped from heaven and still glowing - great job of stitching I couldn't tell at all<br> Manuel - subtle colors well composed - better than that but I'm running out of adjectives.<br> Garry - Watch that first step, it's a doozy! Interesting interplay of colors. I think there's a site of architectural goofs.<br> Ronny -p The car is morphing into its surroundings.<br> Tony - It;'s really hard to judge the pictures separately from the frames - together they are fabulous. When do you go online with your services?<br> Andrew - Stop kicking yourself, #1 is very dramatic as is. The blank sky emphasizes a proud and fierce bird. As for raptor #2, he's probably hell on seeds. You're right about the colors on #2<br> Timothy - it was worth it<br> Jemal - Yes it is.<br> Sigmar - The shadows make it a full squadron. I like the way you pull the abstract intop reality and vice versa.<br> Robert B #2 is awe-inspiring and # 3 is perfectly caught.<br> Timothy - Yeah!</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_wyatt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 <p>Just one from me, I have a bunch from a motorsport meet I just covered (with some nice Nikon gear, and a Nikon D2X), but no time to edit them as I am off to Vietnam tomorrow. This one is with a K10D, Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
