Wow, there's a lot going on here :)

 

I'm not certain, but would the right side of the photo be better if the second man wasn't there? To me the focus of the photo is surrounded by the feast behind the subjects on the left. If he wasn't there, would we see the feast travel off into infinity?

 

 

Then again, the man on the right does add something...I'm just not sure what it is.

 

Interesting photo none the less. :)

I would say there's probably a contrast issue with your scan. The colors seem really muted. I would recommend taking it into Photoshop and playing with the levels a bit to bring out the colors.

You should just purchase a Holga! :)

Horizon should be straight... And you should be closer to the ship. :)

Well it would be important to know how you metered this scene. What shutter speed and aperture did you use? I bet it's very over exposed because of the huge reflection you got from the glass. I see lens flare in the shot...

How did you capture such a great gradient in the water? Can (will? :) you provide any details on the shot? It's quite amazing.

Double-lens flare from the sun and from the reflection of the sun. Some people think flare is cliche, I'm not so sure.

 

Either way, the top part of the photo is very blah.

How did you do it? :) Pre-focus and wait?

The bottom most diver is my one real problem with this shot. The missing hand and the hidden torso are really distracting. It's tough to get people in motion.

I'm not really a fan of the motion in his arms and the club. It just looks out of place to me at it's current level. Either more motion or dead-stop. Though, I can see that with more motion, he'd probably be a bit blurry too.

Eric,

 

I'm confused by your comment. Did you or did you not make contrast adjustments?

The pink thing coming out of the ear is pretty distracting. I'm not certain the foreground element (noes) needs to be in focus all the time. For this subject, I don't think it works that well given how much of the dogs face is shaped by what is now out of focus.

The image doesn't seem very sharp. Could you apply the Unsharp Mask filter to it perhaps?

 

A good capture though; repetition of form done well.

I'm using a different technique for scanning my negatives. The results are quite a lot better than the first attempts.

 

Let me know what you think of this photo.

The cross-processing is great. It reminds me of an ice cave in a glacier; quite the visual treat.

The bottom of the glass/vase is missing and the top is difficult to see.

 

I agree with the extra branch/stalk bit. It's distracting.

 

I disagree with the DOF. I think more would be better. Not sure how much more though :)

Far too large of an upload. The border is maddening and it makes the presentation of the photo poor.

I agree with the previous poster that the CA should be fixed in a photo editing program.

Not as good as your other shot. If the wings are to have blur, I think they should have more blur than that. The

Amazing.
