Since I can never get anyone to give me titles, here goes... "Melting Monet", "The Streets Run Red", "A Carwash Gone Bad"...that's about all I got. Thanks for the go!

This one says a fair amount to me personally. Comments welcome and appreciated.

I found this in back of the old theatre building that I work next to in Marshall, TX.

This is a digital image, but the only things altered were to make it a B/W image and to

add the title at the bottom, in a font I designed.

Does this catch anyones fancy? It's an amusing image to me, and as a plus, it

makes a great desktop image. Should I upload along this line? Would the color

image be helpful? Your thoughts appreciated.

Jean- Thank you for leaving this one large. (if it was on purpose) The detail is captivating. The composition evenly favors both the water and the boat. IMO there's just as much to look at inside the boat, as out side.

-JK

It's rare to find a Skilled Photographer who is able to take his work lightly, I've enjoyed what I've seen in this presentation and what Ive browsed though on your website. Thanks for taking the time to share with us your enviable work. -I would agree that this one should be framed and hung on a wall in a very conspicuous manner.

-JK

Maybe it's just the way it turned out, but this foto has a nice hand colored feel to it. Nice shot by the way, works well in B/W too.

-JK

I understood the title thing right from the start. I guess some people just have trouble seeing the 'historical scenery' infused in the majority of your images. *shakes head in disbelief* It's kinda like reading a novel... and what's a novel without a mysterious title?

-my friend, sitting beside me says you should keep naming your pictures whatever you want, whether people can figure out what you mean or not -I would agree.

 

-Thanks, Joel K

Although I know you probably have know way of remaking this picture, I hope you don't think me too bold in suggesting a couple ways of improving what you've got. The first thing I would hint at would be to crop the extranious parts of the picture that suggest a modern time period, just to keep the feel of 'old worldly-ness. The other might not even be necessary, but it seems to be the slightest bit off kilter. IMHO, I don't think you would sacrifice any aesthetics in doing either of these suggestions, since (if you're like me) you probably would have done it at the time, had you been able to take the time and thought to do it. In looking at your more recent shots I see you have learned to excercise both of these skills, so don't think of this as a repremand, I think this is a good photo, and deserves to look like you took it yesterday, which wouldn't take all that much work. -JK

Nice wall print. -JK

Nice eye for the composition. I like how you can let the #29 do the contrast work for you too, makes a nice photo. -JK

Nice eye.

Does anyone else get the basic idea of abstract art? Please

comment. If it strikes you positively, say so. If it does not, say

so- but be nice. If you have nothing to say please, refrain from

giving bad ratings and no critique or suggestions for improvement!

-JK

What time was this original taken? Were there ambient street lights or is the light just natural? It's unusual that a color foto turns out this well when converted, even w/ PS. Real nice effect.

If I had any money I'd ask for print... thanks for the view anyway. -JK

Nice catalog or calender shot, IMHO... -JK

I haven't been getting any commentual feedback on the last two or three

photos I've submitted for critique, but since I have to write something to get my

photo in, here's some background. This is Derek Webb (Caedmons Call) and

Sandra McCracken, at a small little upstairs conference room at Letourneau

Univ. in Longview Tx. It was taken with a less than desirable sony Mavica,

handheld at about 1/6 to 1/8 sec. and had quite a bit of PS work done to bring

Sandra out of the Bkgd. But it's the memory that counts... for anyone who

reads this, comments are welcome; ratings are inevitable... -JK

Please let me know what you think, anybody... I don't want this to

be another one that ends up with no feedback. All I ask is that

you be constucvtive. Thanks -JK

The first thing I noticed about this photo was that there were no headlight trails. With all that fog, how did you get away with that, and did you try a T.Ex? I'd like to have a gander "if" you can get another one (ahem) I'm partial to long exposures. What was your shutter speed? Those cars must have been "creepin' yo".

 

I see that not too many people pay attention to your request for commentary... I too am one requestee of feedback that has been left to read

the numbers... thanks for the comment on the 'Benches' (&Rover) pic too. -JK

A number of people seem to like this one, just wondering what can be

improved upon?

Thank you for your time...

-JK

Nice tilt, looks kinda "lomo"-ish, it's not easy to get that kind of effect with a sofisticated camera. Well done... JK/ www1.lomography.com

Sorry to 'bother' you about the PS thing, but exactly how much did you have to fiddle with the original image? Does your D1 see an above average amount of IR, or did it take a bit of working? Thanks for the comments by the way... JK

Um, what do You think? This one sort of catches my eye when I look

through my folder; I've been thinking of submitting it for a while,

but it seems that no one responds to the ones I like. Please comment,

ratings are very secondary... Thanx

Thanx for the comment, John-

-The dark foreground is more a result of contrast, there was a little shadow because the sun was setting, but the contrast I chose just IMO brought out the benches from the concrete. I do like your idea of starting in the middle of the 1st bench, I'll have to see if that will compromise composition any...

I'm just looking for feedback... as always, feel free to comment. -

Joel

Any constructive thoughts welcomed and apreciated, so feel free

to comment. I like the extreme placement, but am not totally

happy with it...
