Black and White. BTW, vultures are not killers; merely carrion consumers.

 

Mark:

great photo, great timing. It has a very painterly feel to it. Your Photshop work has done well by it. I would love to see the original transparency. Great job.

 

The colors are great, but color isn't everything. The light leaves a lot to be desired. Shooting this nearer to sunrise or sunset would add a whole lot of warmth.

 

You could have also tried to move in closer to the nearest petrified tree to provide greater near/fear persective and depth.

 

Good photograph otherwise.

Regardless of the exposure imbalance, this is a beautifully colorful and tranquil photograph. I love the positioning of the boats and the sheen on the water. Great work.

 

Beautiful capture of a much maligned mammal. I love these doggies. Perfect exposure, natural, pleasing colors, and nice sharpness. I'm not particular bugged by the in-camera crop of the body.

 

Beautiful photo and arrangement. Looks so "squishy" and saturated with water.

 

 

 

Great colors and perfect exposure. Often with photos of this type, I'm more interested in the mood they evoke rather than a definitive subject in the scene.

 

Good work. Is it Velvia?

 

Very neat photo, but I don't think the tremendous amount of black space filling the frame does anything for it. I would consider a crop. I also think there could be better detail in the person. Looks a little too dark/small.

You state "The sheet was as low as the model was comfortable with", yet a simple look at your folder shows her baring far more than this view. Why lie?

 

I have to agree with Hool and state that after looking at your folder, your photos do look a bit like cheap porn. Hopefully you got to sleep with the models.

 

 

 

A great and *original* composition of a place made almost 'boring' from the wealth of copycat photos made of it. You've done a great job with the difficult contrasts, but I would have liked to see the tree moved a bit more off-center.

 

Great work.

Hello Ron:

looks great, but a little soft. I suspect it's the scan job or the compression. I prefer your day in the park shot better though :)

 

Very nice composition and colors, but I would have liked to see maximum DOF (sharp from nearest foreground to infinity). Your DOF seems a little shallow. Very nice otherwise.
