Great work here -- you managed to design a scene that took me straight into your frame. Don't worry about the obvious zoom-work qualities of your photograph -- your shot is too good to fail under suggested accusations of voyeurism. It looks almost like an opening frame of a movie -- I am just waiting for this train to pass and the couple to start talking -- absolutely positively bizzare experience! BTW: Paul G. -- I think I just pee-ed in my panties laughing.

Interesting ... I think you got a great solarization effect but I wonder why pinhole gave you only a slight distortion here ... I comitted a few pinhole shots myself (I am not by any chance an expert) but my prints were incredibly distorted -- I loved that effect. I had no idea that a developer designed specifically for solarization exists -- I remember I just diluted my developer and used a stop bath in between. Anyway, you got a strong Halloween looking
image here!

An incredible image ... nothing to add ... nothing to change. The sleeping person should stay where he is -- in the shadow; when my eyes finally wondered upon his sleeping face I just sighed ... congratulations! -
Holy ... Alberta ... would you mind explaining that graduation(?)filter sandwich? I did not get it ...

No bubble ... no reason to get upset ... I thought we are talking like two professionals. Does your answer mean that only I can see the clusters of pixels as described above? -
It's most visible in the sky around the mid-part of the white tree, the top of the middle tree, the left side of the most left tree (sorry, don't know English names for the trees there), some weird grass-like looking black objects left of the most right tree (looking like added in PS), and in the very upper part of the sky. If you look at the large version of your image, you can see that pixels in these areas form a zig-zag sort of a pattern, easily visible. It's like clusters of pixels stuck to each other -- I had this problem after removing some scratches in the PS and was told that I can get rid of it during the compression. Since I am not an expert in PS, I haven't tried it yet.

It's very elegant and subtle but I can easily pin-point places where you gave this image an extensive make up. Print from this pic would be a total disaster.

Really great ... did you rate it 3200 or 1600? -
Fantastic exposure and light you caught here is awsome ... looking forward to more! -

Right moment, great characters and composition. It not the best quality but I guess you had no time for this -- did you zoom this? Where did you stand? Across the street or was it a plaza? Nobody there is looking at your camera -- are you invisible? Terrific job. BTW -- Are you sure that the bag next to your babushka did not contain beer she just sold to the youngsters?

I like the composition of this scene and a pleasant printing (printing is it?) but think that your title demands more than this photograph can deliver. Nice job.

"sometimes less is more" .... and sometimes it is too little. -
Well, it's boring Cynthia ... probably the weakest in your nice portofolio. -
Graet composition but printing is a tad too dark for me. -
Sometimes my brain tells me this is a good shot, sometimes it is my body (you know --jaw wide open & goose bumps, I still get them). This one works on both, intellectual and emotional level. Congratulations Ivan, this is great photography.

I know the excitment of posting a treasured photo here ... I just think that this one is not the best shot of firefighters in action and I did see too many of them lately (I'm from NYC). Don't get disapointed if this shot won't take a first prize and keep on shooting. It's always rewarding to get a better picture. Good luck.
-
That's your best composition so far. -
I wonder if you asked yourself if this is a picture of a croissant or the counter? If you ask yourself a question before releasing the shutter, you may start making better compositional choices for your photographs. That's a basic rule separating snapshots from photographs. Good luck.

I think Patrick likes dark printing which won't give you details on horses -- they would look phony considering the context. Besides, horses aren't really the central point here ... the picture would work without them. I like them here as a form and a shape, not as a detaild postcard type accuracy. That's the artistic choice and it has nothing to do with everything sharp & detailed Kodak moment you would like to see here. I agree that the "thing" behind the right horse is distracting and I would like to see the full shadow of it but that's the only criticism I have for this peaceful grazing. Good job, although I am not a sucker for dark prining.

She makes a difference here ...
