well done photo. I like its quiet and calm mood in combination with the golden-yellow shades of colors. Works very well.

Julie, this is a wonderful shot, like a carpet or a beach-towl soaked in color. By the way, where in Melbourne did you take it ? (I lived there before).

a truly stunning sight. Great photo, Geoff.

Great Photo, the colors and shades work very well together. At first glance it looks like waves in the water.

great photo, wonderful balance and color-mix

I agree with Brian, the ropes make it special. Great photo !

Thanks for the comments. In fact, the moment I took the photo, the lady was serving a customer. I took several shots, maybe some with better composition. However the lighting turned out much different already, changing the ambience of it all together. In any case I wanted to avoid the use of flash, which would have destroyed the effect.

Ira, no doubt, this is a wonderful shot. Because I like this great photo, I am adding my 2c and show you how I would have cropped it. Hope you don't mind. Also have adjusted the tones a bit.

Roy, I think this is a great shot. However, I think it just needs cropping. If you don't mind, I show you what I mean, it removes empty space. What do you think ?

What was interesting about this store was the antique feeling and the

light. My camera was still on the tripod, so tried to do without

flash.

Jason, this is a fantastic shot. The lighting contributes a lot to it. Very dramatic.

yes, it really looks like steps. I like the way the photo was taken, very special composition.

This look great. Where was this taken, Kari ? This landscape looks great, is it real ?

This shot was taken in the late afternoon. Seeing the wall with the

birds sitting on top I could not resist to take a photo, although the

sight is not very pretty, at most interesting and a bit movie-like.

My camera was still mounted on a tripod, so I went into hyper-focus

mode, which the birds didn't notice. Washed-out sky has been

exchanged with some Photoshop gradient gray. Need to get ND filter

first...

very nicely balanced. I wonder how this would look like in color, Paulo.

The neon advertising became a cinematic screen. Very original Dave !

Steve, you really managed to reveal the location in an inch wide section between the doors. Very orginal photo.

John, thanks for asking. Well I say "basic" because when I took this photo, I felt touched. It reminded me that no matter where you go, there are always certain human gestures and expressions which are independent of language, cultural background, life-style or definition of "family" - simple, common or just human. I can't think of a more suitable term right now.

 

Chuck, by the way, I have changed the title of the photo.

something basic.

The ship very dwarfted in the presence of the falls. Makes it a fantastic view, great photo.

changing location and computer I realized that this composition looks

much different than usual. Readjusted filters in Photoshop slightly

accordingly.

well, so far this sky-manipulated photo might be able to capture the

drama of this landscape somehow. However I will be revisiting the

place in end September 2001 and try to get a wide-angle photo with ND

filter, maybe it gets closer to the actual impression one has when

being there.

Great photo, I agree with Viorel about the cropping. I wonder how a color version of this view would have turned out. Myself, I have not yet developed my skills sufficiently that I would load a B&W film into my camera.

very interesting composition.

This is a great photo. If I may suggest some cropping: 5% left (wall or something), 10% top and 10% bottom. Raoul, calling the folder modestly "holiday snapshots" is pure understatement. There are many photographs which I wouldn't categorize that way...
