Very good job! Perhaps some mild backlighting would help, but this photo has "the feeling"! Thatﾴs what makes portrait photography.

Is there anything you would improve?

Otherwise it is a dream to catch. I remember myself running after a deer in the morning mist.... I saw a deer on the field and jumped out of my car quickly. I got all wet and then my car was parked on a narrow road and somebody drove behind it. I ran to my car in order to move it away and felt utterly stupid. How do you explain what were you actually doing? Photography is real fun.

I am amazed. This is usual in Arizona, right?

I would give 10 gladly, but the backgrount tree is indeed a bit distracting. I bet these trees would both make a great subject each alone. Toning was good idea, although I am not a big fan of PS tricks.

When I think about photographing lonely trees, then this is what I have been looking for. Alas, I have not found it as you did... It would actually be nice, if the shadow was not cut, but that would change the composition dramatically.

Nothing else to say. The empty space on the left does not bother me at all.

At first when I looked at the thumbnail I did not notice the seagull at all. "Strange title," I thought. But the image jumped right into my eye. After I saw the seagull, my impression deepened even more. This is a heck of a picture! 10/10

Somebody said that the hand is distracting. Right. But think about it - if this hand was just like you "expect it to be", the image would not be so powerful. The twisted hand is one of the most intriguing parts of this image next to the face of this boy.

I suppose the white is from the morning dew, otherwise I'd think it's overexposed. The leaves at left add a lot to the comp. The more I look at it the more I like it.

Sorry for such an intriguing title from my side.

After I had rated the photo real low, I saw your name. Believe me, I have all the respect in the world towards you and your work and you are listed under "my friends" category, because most of your images are really great. But this one is... plastic. The red cap, the macho-cop glasses and the look on her face and the marble are all one huge drawback in my mind. The look on her face is the most irritating factor for me. Something is missing here. B/W would help too a bit, but not much. Sorry, if this sounds too harsh or so. Your other images are just great.

 

This is what I call photography. Everything from the life itself. Very good. The looks are so great, the situation is so real and yet comic. Missing legs disturb a bit, but this was not something that made me stop and look closer...

Eugenio, I have a question about this picture too. Could you e-mail me, since I could not find your e-mail on your page. My address is jyri@kus.tartu.ee

Hi Niloy,

I agree that it is UNREAL but it is beautiful. I am not sure about the lower left corner though. It does add certain kind of a dimension, but... well. Anyway, I think this is one of your best images. By the way, thank you for commenting on my pictures too!

I like the motion in the image.

Good composition. At least something artistic about a cliche object.

Nice shot. I think some lonely walker would have been actually better. But you can't wait every time. 8/8

It is so great! Like a real warrior. Did you get any other shots of this man? I believe the image would be much stronger if a) the head was not cut, b) it was black and white c)if it had a bit different angle or the man would have posed for you. As it is, the man on the background is a bit distracting, ruining the seriousness of the knight. Otherwise I'd give 10 for aesthetics - because you captured the expression so well. Alas, the cut head... So 9 for aesthetics and 8 for originality. Thanks for sharing!

Just a bit too much centered, otherwise very good.

Now to be honest I think the image is actually made perfect by the tree on the right. I was instantly drawn to it. This picture would be a bit boring without it. Dead tree really adds context in this case. I keep saying that the dead tree itself would be a marvelous object to shoot. Now, why do I have to live so far from that place...:)

The image is spectacular. Althoug it would be nice to see the original as it is too. On the left, there is a tree that seems a bit overkilled with the digital manip. Looks blurred or something. Otherwise you captured really great scene.

Very peaceful and nice. Soft tones and subtle colors make it in a way like a "retro" image.

By the way, thanks for rating one of my images too!

Very good. Frame it. Sell it. You name it.:)

...but did you rotate the image or was it just like that?

Good pic. Too long caption.

Although it has a bit too much features to be THE shot it definitely cauught my eye. Very good caption too. Congrats!
