Oh Lord won't you let me to strike this ball

Great image. Really pleasing composition.

I like it a lot

You sure got a lot of mileage out of this shadow tennis series. This one might be the most interesting of the series in the way it seems to project through space.

Excelllent picture Michail! I like the strong contrast, sepia, composition, texture, and...everything!

Warm Regards,

Rosario.

Another great anti-aesthetic work. Kind regards.

Don't be shy my anonymous friend.

Please feel free to write your true opinion, whatever it is. This site suffers a lot from all kind of idiots that live only for good rates and opinions, not for getting any better photographers. And just to get that, they rate cruppy photos with 5/6/7 or write good comments for photos that are a disgrace to any descent photographic site. Believe or not this is the reason why i keep the option to receive anonymous critiques ON, if anonymity sets you free please go on, write what ever you feel about my photos. May i suggest to rate all my older photos with 2 or 3, you will feel much better, you will see.

Love,
Michalis

Dear friend, here you did really a great work. All is perfect, I'm really impressed by this little-big masterpice: bravissimo!!!

I really like this series of tennis shots - subject, shadow and a surface that looks as if it was painted by a 19th century master painter. The shadow of the tennis ball completes a wonderful symmetry. All the very best, and please don't let some comments get you all puffed up. Not good for your health and I want you to be healthy.

 

Keep on shooting,

 

 

very nice work here Michail...regards....David...and Michael, I've been on pn for 12 years...there will always be those people who are jealous of your work or who for instance, can't handle it when you give them  "5" rating and then go and trounce your work...pn used to show ratings alongside those that rated...i preferred it that way as you get to know the people who have some serious mental health issues...again, this is a very nice shot...

and Michail, you are right, and I am a beneficiary myself of good friends...it is better to get a fair review/critique than a lot of praise, although getting encouragement also helps...this should be more of a place to learn and improve...regards....David
