    Super Blood Moon,

    very good job. It was overcast where I live in Savannah, Georgia, USA so I didn't get to see it or take photos. I have seen other lunar eclipses and have been impressed with how red the moon looks and also how spherical, like a ball hanging in space.

    This photo has an almost dreamlike quality. The tones are beautiful and you did an excellent job of keeping shadow detail. I wish the EXIF data was still there so I could see what type of exposure setting you used.

    Len, Thank you for the comment. I sometimes post a photo every now and then on the Classic Manual Cameras forum. Those are ones done with old 8x10 or 5x7 view cameras, 4x5 inch format or 120 film format. That is usually in keeping with the theme of a thread. I suppose I should post more photos here. Maybe someday ...
  1. This is a very nicely done photo. It is one of those photos that seems to be telling a story, the way the woman is looking at the camera. I am just not sure what the story or intent of the photo is. The composition is very well done

    The more I look at it the more I think I may have been wrong. The reflection anchors the bowl. If the reflection and shadow were to be cloned out, the bowl would seem to be floating in air. Cropping the photo lessens the composition. The more I look at it the more I think it is fine just the way it originally was. (There is a streak of orange color at the very bottom right side of the photo that bothers me)

    Very nice and colorful. I like the background set up. The reflection on the glass top and the shadow running off to the left seem to take away from the over all effect in my opinion. Never the less, it is a very nice photo.
  2. A pretty model and lots of hair, one can't go wrong with that. What I really find intriguing is the perspective. The curve of her hip almost seems to reach her breast. Not much midriff from that angle. Very nice.

    Flower and Fly

    Sometimes I see shots of flowers; other times I see macro shots of insects. You did a good job of combining both. I like how you captured the subtle texture of the flower and the detail of the fly. Very good job.
  3. Very nice exposure and composition. I am impressed that you could get close enough to that crow even with a 200mm lens. Maybe close to a town they are more used to seeing people and aren't so skittish. Or is this a crop from the larger frame? It certainly looks very sharp.
  4. I also thought it was tilted down to the right but then thought it was the "Broadway Photography" patch that was drawing my eye down. If I cover that over with my finger the photo looks much better and less tilted.

    That is very sharp and well exposed. It may have been framed a bit tight for my taste but it may be all the more impressive for that.

    You have some wonderfully soft and smooth flesh tones, a beautiful photo. At first I thought you had forgotten to rotate the photo to the vertical until I saw the title. Good work..
