Lovely, perhaps best in the folder. And thanks for not just taking a photo of the freaking sky and water, that gets so boring! This old tree was a good piece for the foreground.

Gorgeous. Perhaps slightly dark in the upper half of the frame, but the colors! Wow! Was this taken outside Chiang Mai at the Summer Retreat for the Royal Family?

upload shots small enough for someone to see them on the monitor at one time. jeez!

upload smaller shots.

bad lighting. bad composition.

Great shot, even though I don't like the halo around her, that obvious manipulation can't kill my enthusiasm for the photo. Really nice work.

Can't seem to figure out why you took this shot. Nice b and w developing work, but the tilt of the camera downwards and the flat water... not an exciting result.

I think this is probably the best in the folder. Nice shot, for sure. Couldn't agree more about the hideous border, though. Why not use a black border next time?

The haze makes this seem like a grayscale scan rather than B and W.

boring shot.

The spelling is "bearings" i think. another great shot!

Ken, shots like this really show your mastery. This is excellent. Thank you for sharing your photos with the rest of us.

Fun shot! Composition and DOF choices look spot-on!

Really nice shot. Exposure is great, not too light, which I think most people would've done.

brown paper bag?

very clean and simple, but with lots of room up top for advertising copy...

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great great great great shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like this. like how you in general seem to find good shots in ordinary situations, but approach and present them in fresh ways. You have the vision!

Best shot in the folder, very very interesting. Like your approach. Also, must have been hard to take without overexposing the highlights, good job on avoiding that!

i can see what you were trying. But you needed to get down, even kneel on the ground to put the sky, not the water behind the sign. Also, eliminate all of the black whatever (breakwater?) at the bottom of the shot, and _please_ do not center your horizon line in the composition.

your best photo. it still has a lot of problems, but at least you have tried to do something interesting, to show the silhouette of this building against a sunset sky.

the great thing is i can give you low ratings without being untrue to myself as an artist. you truly are posting nothing but crap. hello, these photos were taken in a _zoo_ and you didn't even make an effort at good composition! I'm afraid that to tell you what is wrong with your photos would take me more time than i feel like giving you, but just a quick few

1. this photo is not in focus

2. this photo is overexposed

3. this photo has terrible composition. the two kangaroos are overlapping, but are not in a similiar pose. therefore legs of the one are blocked which looks unnatural. also los of the tail of the foreground kangaroo is terrible. the setting around the kangaroos is bad (of course, it's a zoo) so you need to use a long lense to isolate. also, when trying to shoot wildlife, you will notice the masters usually find a contrasting background for their critter, here you have a grey backdrop for a grey animal. that doesn't work at all!

 

love the shot, except there is something weird with the scan, i think. the sky looks a little strange... but composition esp. is lovely.

too soft for my tastes. my eye is too busy searching for a place with exact focus in the image to see it as a whole.

very interesting approach
