    Chinaman's Hat

    I would like see to a vertical frame with the tree at the left edge framing the mountain. Your composition reminds me of traditional Chinese art - flat with many elements. Different than a western landscape.

    I like monochromatic and I like hardware and industrial stuff. It's in sharp focus. It needs something: a reflection, a piece of gum, graffiti. Or show what is nearby.

     

    Shady meal.

    I like it because the close figure at right frames the window, and the ceiling over the window curves back above the smaller figures. So there is form and space, rather than random shadows. Even with all that, the neon sign gives it character.

    Very creative and really seems transformed into a virtual landscape. My brain doesn't know what to do about the competing angles but my eye likes the corner-to-corner dynamics. Maybe try moving the center ridge forward so it hits the corners too.

    Steam Train

    Classic portrait of a train in its surroundings. The corral fence and distant mountains and big sky look like the old west. Train is too dark compared to background.
  1. So many allegorical meanings deserve consideration here. I see the strong style of the old masters whose subjects displayed a pious calmness in spite of their suffering. As for technical: (a) the light emphasizes the aloneness instead of providing comfort. (b) the bars are a heavy force in the scene and surround the model, but do not cover her or distract from her appearance

    Malo Sunset

    Just beautiful - nothing less. As for composition, I'm learning to decide what is the subject of my pictures. Here, if it's the sunset, then the mountain doesn't add anything nor the bottom foreground. Of course that purple mountain presiding over the landscape might be worthy of it's own picture...

    In addition to the drama of the vaulted church, you captured the air: cool, maybe some candle smoke, damp, old. And the highlights from the windows don't overpower.

    Snow leopard

    I always like the muted or sepia colors - this is nicely understated - it looks 3-dimensional due to the depth of field and the animal's markings - like a fine painting
  2. many elements came together beautifully - fish in the mouth - bird legs in motion - facing ocean - grey ocean color perfect background for darker bird colors - bit of shoreline gives a foreground - diffused light of overcast day perfect for subject - photographer lying on stomach in sand ???

     

    And I'm interested in what the Portra NC can do - I just started with it so I'll post samples when I can.

  3. tells it story as-is - i agree square crop looks good - but other changes are impossible - if sun was on distant building then it would not light door and window frame (sun can only shine one way) - if building was centered, again inside door & window frames with sunlight would not be visible (due to straight-on perspective)
