A stone and bamboo fountain in Portland's Japanese Garden

This image was taken in Portland's Japanese Garden, where I spend many

hours.

Having recently returned from a photo project in western Tanzania villages, I have to tell you how meaningful I find this shot.

 

Other than some dodging of the trunk and the foreground in Lightroom

2.1, this is a straightforward image with no manipulation.

A 2-exposure HDRI, with one image overexposed one stop.

Both mood and captivating color.

A very interesting image, and I love the soft, subtle light. Where is it, by the way? Italia, I presume, but dov

Originally a color image, but I prefer this mark stark feel.

One of my older Italy images that does nothing for most of my

friends. But it continues to have great meaning to me. I would

appreciate your critique.

It helps to be able to type.

Nike, a stunning photograph!

Almost without exception, every one of these photos grabs my attention and makes me study it.

This is exciting, original work.

Unlike another poster here, I do like that shadow. It contributes to the interplay of light and darkness. Nice work, as usual.

Another outstanding self-portrait, this one a bit haunting but, as with all your work, immediately engaging. Well done.

What makes this shot for me is neither the lighting within the rooms nor the almost perfect symmetry of the building, but the slight glow of backlighting that models the structure and turns this from a well-composed snapshot into a true photograph.

This one grabbed and held me. I'd give it tens across the board. Quite apart from the craftsmanship and sense of a story waiting to be told, this photo shows me, just a week before I'm set to leave for Italy, the power that a panorama can have when it's used to make a thoughtful photograph, rather than just because the photographer happens to have this tool in his arsenal.
