shot ever taken in the world. Too good to talk about.

She is a beautiful lady, I would like to see more of her, the hair, which is nicely speckled with grey, her shoulders, a belonging, etc. Nice tones in the black and white photo. I understand you're trying to show the surroundings, but just a little more Otha. Best regards Emma.

This was one photo in a number of photos for a six member (nightclubbing) band. The photos used were ones with just a white background and lots of texture detail in the clothing. This individual shot only used the top half. I used the dark lighting added in Photoshop for showing on Photo.net page and to hide the stomach (which again was not shown in the clients photos.

With a description another idea which keeps the tonal qualities of the skin.

You can play with it from photoshop 6 as a jpeg. Emma

Sorry, I guess I have a larger monitor and it looks large to me. I'll put one in my folder to look at in larger size. Sorry again .

Great lighting. Skin tone is great. Very good capture of this model. 10/8. Only 8 because not totally original, but the 10 on look makes up for it.

This photo has great appeal. It's soft, matching the cozy blanket. The close crop is perfect, only the eyes and mouth really in focus. Could not be any better. I don't even care what film, what camera.

But a great shot for a disposable camera.

. . take a seat to enjoy it. This cropping is perfect. It makes you feel as if you're already sitting in the chair leaning back enjoying the view. Did I forget to say this is funny and creative? It is.

Nicely done. I would rather like to see the birds feet a little more, less cropping on the bottom. But it focuses you in on the singing heads without it. Thanks for showing your pictures.

I would like to see their faces a bit more but I like the motion captured here.

The colors are interesting.

Especially with the gun on the shoulder the way it is cropped.

Nice colors. Nice. Your photo friend Em

Printed on #2 paper, matt finish, for use in newspaper tabloid for band. I really used only head shot of this but I

thought I'd show whole body here problems and all. In photoshop I sharpened once, and put in softspotlight

with default settings to hide big stomach. This guy was quite tall and had double chin in normal portrait shot so I

bent him forward to hide alot of chin and again didn't use bottom half of pho

The roof tops created quite a variety of tones and nice of you to capture it for everyone to see. Dreamy. and it reminds me of the movie Mary Poppins, the part where they dance on the roof tops of England.

And not just because we had 9 vw's in my family.

The groundcover is beautiful, the cropping looks as if the bugs are coming at the viewer, the lighting on the windshields gives it an extra ghostly feel. The rust bothers me cause how could anyone let this happen to their bug. Completely bothered, but rating completely perfect. 9/9 . . .Thank you for showing. Emma B.

First, I appreciate your shot using motion and lighting as Art. I also like a portrait to tell a story and show the character of the person . I don't think this photo tells me anything about the subject, so that may be why you say people don't like it as a portrait. But I still like it and it caught my eye. Thank you for showing.

 

Just like it is. Dramatic photo.

You can't always get what you want but that is alway bad. I rated it high again, except for the slight blur. But the picture captures an eagle in a pose that shows how flexible those wings really are, all curved in to catch the air. I loved seeing this picture and that you caught it just as it is.

The photo is very sharp and the colors are so real, not overly adjusted.

I like all your shots they look like they should be in a travel brochure.

All your photos . . .completely unexpected viewing. Capturing everyday stuff, but making it look like art, that's a talent. Thanks for showing.

This one caught my eye. The shawdows created by the body are fine art in my opinion, and I also like the grain, rather makes it like sneaking a peek through a sheer curtain.

 

From: Emma, I couldn't agree with you more about Pictures telling a story. Having worked in newspaper and then in advertising, my motto or test (professionally) is that the photo or art should stand alone, without copy, and tell the story or have some purpose. You are right, this photo doesn't pass your test or mine. Just a stupid first attempt at self portrait playing with the light at a window blind. Thank you for the welcome back. Thank you for your comment.

Nice movement coming at you on this photo.

Its got strength.
