This is a shot taken along the Great Ocean Road in southern Austrlia -

just past Angelsea - thank you for your comments

Francesc, I love the saturation in this shot as well as the gentle sloping foliage. However, I wonder if it would not strengthen the impact of the wonderful colors and details if the sky were cropped down about 30%? Just a suggestion. Nice shot!

 

Steve

you might crop it tighter on just the red building?

you might get rid of the red spot in the upper left

great shot

Filter problems with vinetting (I can't spell the word)

I love this shot!!! I wish i could take "people" shots like this... My favorite thing about the shot is the litte girl in the middle peering around her friend lookin gright at the camera. You might soften the sharpness of the front girl a little and sharpen the middle girl's stare... wow, great catch though!

I like the colors, but you might try a ND.6 or similar filter to texture the chnge in the sky as it moves towards the top- just a thought- good job though

Please let me know what you think.

 

Thanks,

Steve

I took this shot infront of one of the flower vendors on the Rue

Claire in Paris. Fall 2001. Please let me knwo what you think and

offer feedback.

 

Thank you,

Steve

Beautiful shot- I love yuor portfolio. Great color in your "color" folder.

 

Steve

Love the saturation. My only thought is that the background is too "in between."By that I mean that it is not sharp and not thrown out of focus enough... one or the other might make the shot pop more-- I don't know, just my thought.

 

Steve

As i am sitting about 1/4 mile from the Chapel right now, about to graduate and leave this great place, I really appreciate you work capturing the beauty of our campus... nice shot.

 

Steve

Mark,

 

I keep finding great shots and clicking on the photographer's portfolio, only to find that I am, again, looking at your photos... kudos for your great talent.

 

Excellent color saturation-- and no Velvia!

Steve

Love the shot- wish the sky was a little lighter or had a cloud or two- I love the angle though!

 

Steve

Cris,

 

Great site about Kite photography. I am jelous of your talent and creativity with the kites and camera. Your shots are truly stunning- please keep posting them for us to enjoy.

 

Steve

Great imagination- this shot really shows teh playfulness of the child while exploiting the amazing colors- bravo!

 

Steve

I love the colors that are beginning to develop. I bet the colors become even more spectacular over the next hour. Do you have any shots from that time?

 

Steve

I really like the light that is falling on the rock to the bottom right. It loos like the zoom you are usign is causing the flares in the middle. Great shot though.

Steve

Hey, I love the long exposure, but the image looks liek it could have used a little longer to lighten up the surrounding area. This might be due to the scanner? I have the same scanner- did this darken the shot up? I love the movement of the water- nice.

Steve

CLaire,

 

Good to see someone finally shooting yacht racing. If you are interested in continuing to shoot boats, you might loot at sharon green's ultimate sailing site: (http://www.ultimatesailing.com/cal_01.html) She uses alot of great compositions. Obviously, she also uses helocopters- which is a different game altogether... but, for example there is a great shot from the lee quarter (behind and down wind) when boats are reaching with spinnakers... I really like this shot in your portfolio. Keep the yachting pics coming.

 

Steve

I like this shot, but agree with the previous comments. Additionally, I would like it even more if the three elements (coconut, sea, mountains and sky) were arrainged differently. The cocnut obscures the cliffs- maybe this is what you intended.

 

Steve

Nice, I love the gondoliers and I love venice.

Hey,

Nice shot-- the delicate colors are amazing.

Steve

Posterize in photoshop to enhance saturation of colors. Please let me

know what you think.

 

Thanks,

Steve
