On the street in Birmingham, Michigan

Great detail. I had to look to see what lens you used. Nice shot.

Very pretty, Ann. Nice composition and framing. Great DOF management as well.

The Chicago Water Tower is undoubtedly one of the world's most frequently

photographed buldings. However, I was taken by a view of the Water Tower in

shade juxtaposed against a modern skyscraper in sunlight. But maybe that's

just me.

A Classic Leica in Ones and Zeros

Beautiful and compelling photo. Apparetnly, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Thank you for rating my photo. I hope you do some more self portraits. You're a very pretty lady and a talented photographer.

The John Hancock Center as seen from sidewalk level on the east side of the building.

I think your framing and composition are excellent. But the lighting is too harsh for this lady. Her features are attractive but chiseled and angular. As is, it's a nice photograph, but it makes her appear harsh and aggressive. To make her beautiful and feminine, you need soft light and perhaps even a subtle gaussian blur. Nevetheless, there is no justification for a 1/1 or even a 3/3.

It would be greatly improved by shooting much earlier or much later in the day when the sun is just above the horizon and, hopefully, shielded just a bit by haze or thin clouds. Also, you should try to avoid things like that pole that appears above the hood. Pro shots of this kind of angle are taken with the camera attached to a rig. The rig consists of a long arm that extends out to about where you shot from. It's bolted to the frame of the car. A very long exposure with the car moving very slow yields a very nice blur and a razor sharp image. The rig is removed later in photoshop.

Great lighting. A difficult task given the hat. Very nice composition and framing. And a beautiful model. What more cold one ask? Good work.

A beautiful image, well captured. I admire the fact you've been able to preserve detail in the highlights. The dappled light on the leaf is gorgeous. Nice work.

From my recent wakeboarding series.

Beautiful photograph. I love the soft light and the gentle curves. Very nice.

From my wakeboarding series. Shot from the boat just before sunset.

Shot from the boat as part of a wakeboarding series.

September 27, 2004

Shot from the boat. Wakeboarding, which is something like a cross between surfing and

water skiing, has become very popular in Michigan.

September 25, 2004

Interesting shot. It's a very intriguing look at an unusual phenomena. Nice work.

September 25, 2004

Great shot. Well seen. It grabbed me immediately. I say 7/6.

September 21, 2004

From the wakeboarding series. On the way out.

September 21, 2004

Just off the wake board after a few very successful runs.

Nice light, well executed. All he needs is a little garlic and some butter :-).

Great composition. A unique way of looking at an architectural scene. The benches add a sense of power and direction, and the building is quite dramatic as well. Good work.
