Yep, "wow" pretty much sums it up.

Hello Sabrina, at first your age puzzled me. Then I clicked on you name and it all made sense. Kathleen is 10 years old and she loves cat's like I think you might. I'll let he know about you and show her your picture.

I love this picture. And that's in spite of the fact that I would not normally like the coloration of the sky. It's really a great photo, IMO.

I think this is a very interesting photograph, it really caught my eye. I do wish it was submited in a larger frame size, it's to small, IMHO.

What have I done right with this photograph?

What did I do wrong and how can I how could I change what's wrong?

 

IF YOU RATE IT A 4 OR LESS PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS

ON THE ABOVE QUESTIONS!!!

He's waiting for the white rubber disk that's on the curb at the bottom of the picture, to pop up into the air.

I cropped this photo, but did I do it right?

I was sitting in my living room when she suddenly looked at me from outside with the glasses on. I RAN for the camera.

While I like her expression I'm not sure about how over exposed the lake water and sky is behind her. Does this fact ruin this photo?. Or has it become an issue because I simply pointed out something you wouldn't have noticed. Well?

I agree with ben chase, this is a wonderfull photograph.

I knew this was velvia with out even looking at your stats, very colorific and sharp. I love this pic, you've taken the ordinary and made something special out of it, that takes talent.

Someday I hope to create images this good, congrats and well done.

This is a gorgious sunset.

Hmm, I see artistic vision in play, but somehow to my eye it just doesn't quite work. Needs more lighting, IMHO.

I really like this photo. If you had not composed and exposed it the way you have done, I wouldn't care for it. A good example of how talent makes it happen, congrats to you.

Constructive criticism? Oh please, it's the I was only trying to help, defense. To Construct implies to build or create. The other folks that left comments served up their advise alittle differently. Review their comments for a lesson in constructive criticism. And these are people that have posted photographs, which you oddly have not done.

I can take critism, just not the unjustified hatefull kind. I offer criticism and praise on a daily basis. Which makes me wonder if this is more about your disagreeing with one or more critique's I've done on this site. And this is your way of teaching me a lesson, to set me straight.

 

Portraits are about a relationship between the subject and the artist. Photographers coax, direct and employ different techniques to create a certain visible temperament in the portrait. This appears as pose, eye contact, gesture and that ephemeral quality of emotion.

 

I very much agree with Mr. Ort. Wonderfull picture.

Jason this is well thought out and it show's. Very nice. Of course she makes this picture.I don't blame you for requesting honest comments, I was recently blessed with less then ernest comments.

Giving her the flowers worked very well indeed. This is a very nice portrait, well done!

Interesting film choice, I just tried a roll of agfa xps160 portrait film for a client friend, very nice stuff.

Wow, now that's detail, just look at here skin texture. I would like to see her full face, otherwise very nice indeed.

Pretty kitty. Interesting eye's.

Well part of the art in photography is knowing when to press the shutter, because the the moment is right, and when not to because the moment is not right. You are the director in charge of center stage. Likely this moment hold's more value to you, because you experienced it. Just my 2 cents.

Cropping,...well um. I find the background draws my attention to much. Maybe if were shot at a different angle, one that brings her closer and better defined. Just my 2 cents.

Splendid, what a treat to the eye's. I knew this had to be Provia.

A like this.
