I like the dream-like effect, nice.

I like the way you balanced the natural and artificial lights! Well done.

A nice picture with cool colours! I like it very much. Maybe cropping the left and bottom 15% would further improve the composition (there is not much detail in the shadowy part anyway)?

This picture was taken in the Taranaki Pioneer Village (North Island

of NZ). I used a circular polariser filter only. There were no other

mods in Adobe Photoshop except I added a frame and copyright message.

Please have a look in my New Zealand folder and tell me what you

think.

Jay, this is a very good portrait! I like the composition, the expression on the subject's face and the texture of his skin and beard. The reason I did not rate it 7 is that the subject's left eye should have been in focus, in my opinion. Where did you take the picture?

Congratulations! I know that you used a long telephoto lens, but I am curious if the bird noticed you? Maybe you could crop a little on the right.

This is a friend of mine who I used to work with in Dublin. Arnaud

loves playing on his guitar, obviously. The handprinted 10"x8" B&W

image was scanned and then sepia-toned in Adobe Photoshop.

Your opinion/comment is appreciated!

This image is my attempt to show the essense of tranquil Ireland. What

do you think?

The B&W picture I printed was scanned in and I did the yellow toning in Potoshop. Since publishing this picture, I sepia toned the original print using Photospeed chemicals.

What a stunning, peaceful picture. Congratulations!

This picture of Karl was taken in a studio with two flash lights: one

with a softbox in front of the model (45 degree), and a second spot

positioned behind him to highlight the smoke.

 

Please critique.

I took this picture while I was on holidays in Nerja, Costa del Sol,

Spain. The parrot was saying "hello" to me in Spanish (Hola!). I used

Photoshop only to add a frame and a copyright message.

 

Please critique this picture.

I do not think the duck is in focus. It might be a camera shake?

I find the printing quite flat: it would be nice to see more contrast (especially in the sky). Nice composition, though.

This picture was taken on a nice summer day in Dingle town, which is

in County Kerry, Ireland.

 

The shape of the house (pub and B&B) reminded me the famous Absolut

Vodka ads that were running few years ago. If you do not know them,

these ads featured well-known city and landscapes. Somewhere in the

picture, the careful viewer could always spot the distinct contour of

the Absolut Vodka bottle. I liked them because they were funny.

 

Comments are welcome!

Some people do not like Cokin filters. I used a graduate +2 blue

filter here (because I did not have a circular polariser at that

time), and I think it actually improved the image. It was a cloudy

day.

 

What do you think?

This is a Dublin street image showing an inner-city railway bridge

with a Guinness ad as well as the crawling traffic, which is quite

typical at around 6pm. Hence the title...

 

Please rate. Thanks.

Spot-on exposition, great composition. Excellent macro work!

She is friend of mine I used to work with. Please let me know how you

like this half-portrait I shot in the studio? Thanks, Peter

I like the softness of the infiltrating lights and the patterns of the

structure. What do you think?

Jason, thanks for your comment.

Besides the UV filter, I used a +2 blue graduate filter (mainly, because I did not have a circular polariser with me), but that should effect the top 20% of the image only. I did not change the colour balance in Photoshop.
