The skintones are probably due to the emulsion used (Agfa).

As to the money, most of us didn't want it. It was forced upon us by politicians who wanted more control over the economy...

There seems to be something weird on the top of the frame. Edge of the negative/slide maybe?

Excellent. You happened upon an ideal way to shoot the wide open plains, and the right conditions to enable that shot to be made.

Works great. Many may say it's too symetrical but it isn't.

I have been trying to capture something like this for over a year, but could never find the right setting :(

It seems just a bit soft. Can't tell whether is is because of the resizing or the filter (or a combination of both).

very poor picture.

nice pose, but a bit overexposed and needs sharpening

the scan is already better than the print. There was so much water in the air, it fogs everything :(

The blue in the right corner is probably a scanner artifact. It is not there in the original (thought it does show up on several other scans from the same roll in the same place, on no other rolls though).

The picture was taken mid-afternoon, sun to the side if I remember correctly.

2 scans were made, one positive (slide) to yield the sky and the other negative (print) to give the building. The two were carefully merged in Photoshop.

Lucky shot that worked out better than expected, but what do you

think?

Overexposed.

well done. Apart from the one small ripple it's hard to see what is going on, and that is obviously as designed.

would have liked a bit more detail in the flowers. As it is it looks like a mottled yellow carpet.

I'd love to, but I took the highest viewpoint in the area (a berm on the side of the road) to get even this much. I might crop of the bottom, but that would leave a weird aspect ratio.

You lost a bit too much detail in the flowers and the veil to make this shot really work. On the other hand, the composition is very nice.

good use of wideangle distortion in the foreground to tighten the framing of the main subject.

well lit, with exactly the right mood projected by the gloomy sky.

Great lighting, especially with the reflections.

Had to race to catch the setting sun behind the cloudformations. Made

it just in time.

Interesting use of grain and light. Looks somewhat out of focus, which is not to my liking.

A bit fuzzy, like it was taken through a dirty window. Very nice pose, the bird just seems to be showing of its catch to the camera, proud of a job well-done.

 

Pulling the subject further left would leave the moon too far to the right. The darn thing goes straight up, so waiting for a better moment was not an option either :)

Nice dogs...

Looks like one hot dog. The green carpet spilling over the porch on the right is a slight distraction, maybe crop that away at the post.

I'd have preferred the sun a bit lower in the sky, and somewhat smaller (iow, shorter exposure).

As it is, the bright sun overpowers the silhouette somewhat. Still a very nice picture.
