    classy shot and wonderful composition.

     

    Thomas, when you finally enroll in a GED program don't forget to take some art appreciation classes.

    Very lovely moment, indeed. The flash fill looks OK but I think you have a one stop underexposure for the general light reading -- the skin tones don't look right, too dark.

    David, I don't know why you this is not your best photograph (OK, maybe it's not sharpest & maybe the light isn't that dramatic) but this photograph has a wonderful climate, it's very well composed and it has that bearable lightness of being :0)

    I guess anything makes one happy when one's five and it doesn't rain. Good thing you digged this out, David -- it's a lovely photograph.
  1. It's not overexposed and it's well composed -- that lady in a funky hat on the left is effectively counterbalancing (she's closer to you and takes more space in a frame) the three-some effect as Tim put it :0)I believe this one is best of the two snow storm shots you've posted. Also, you got so many characters here ...
  2. These snowflakes look more like little snowballs! Do you remember the exposure time? I like these snow-covered tables(?) on the left and people seem to actually enjoy the snow, at least the group on the right. Really nice shot and I love that lady with the ocelot-like spotted collar and the gentleman right behind her. Where did you get such a storm at this time of the year?
  3. great composition, Fabio and you got that really nice background fabric there -- I really like it! The only thing that I don't like is that the boy looks posed, which is fine, but if you asked him to pose, maybe you could have waited for a better facial expression. As is he looks bored as if he were saying "get over with that shot already."

    Ivan! where have you been for so long -- it seems you spent almost a year in the woods, hiking, meditating? I thought you gave up on taking photographs entirely. Well, I hope everything is OK and am certainly glad to see you back!

     

    Almost forgot -- very nice tones and concept in this shot. Maybe a tad more space above, like one step back would make it perfect.

    what is an inevitable state of half life? Diane Arbus defined herself precisely then; and so were many others, don't get me started. If Nour's only purpose in making this composite was to amuse us or himself (which is your definition of art, Peter) I gather he won't mind if I put his smoking man (or perhaps a naked woman) in front of the Dome of the Rock and wait till it gets best documentary photograph.

    Eugene, yes! Escapism: habitual diversion of the mind to purely imaginative activity or entertainment as an escape from reality or routine Escapism, as in Hollywood & Disneyland. Since this image was made in Morocco, and since, it seems, it no longer matters where what was made, you're right on Vuk, globoculture of escapism defines this image perfectly.

    Put aside the technical fluency, and the weirdness of it, there's not much to this image to hold my interest and I don't understand the purpose of this exercise. The composition per se is awkward -- everything there looks superimposed and overwhelming with heavy walls competing with each other, distractingly; with strange perspectives and that necesserily kitschy patch of the sky as to make a point ... what's the point, I ask? Is the cigarette smoker a point? Is this an ad for Camels? I am lost. What's wrong with photographing life as is? Since when do we call Matrix reality a travel photography? It is a mistake to call it photography in the first place. Nour, I hope you won't take this personally, I know you won't, you're a very capable photographer.
