This image, with the subtle light and nice curving form, really takes wildlife photography into the realm of Fine Art, Carl. I disagree with another critique that the image is too dark. To the contrary... as it is, the image portrays a mysterious creature in a mysterious place, not unlike some early 18th-century paintings depicting the fauna of unknown territories. Great composition. Peace. -
Great composition and color. Though the image might serve better with a slightly thinner border.

This is superb

Another fantastic macro. Gods, what a monster! -
Thanks for the kind words Matthew. I too have fallen in love with the whole Olympic region. And yes, we'll miss ol' Dave at the House o' Reps. He is one of a kind. Peace.

One of the best dragonfly portraits I've seen anywhere. -
all the elements that make this a great macro are present- DOF, focus, cooperative subject. Nice work!
-
Very nice abstraction and optical illusion. Well done! -
Beautiful organic abstraction. Nice work!

The violet and yellow hues compliment each other. I love this photo. Great work.

Color and line make this image. Kandinsky would be proud.

I love this image, but what's with the black border around it all? Those borders detract from the real image, as do the "frames" that some photo.net users place around their images for presentation- they look like a picture of a poster. Isolate the vertical image and be proud, man. No kidding. Hey, I only rate photos I like. Peace.

I like this. -
Crop a bit off the bottom out-of-focus area and this becomes an even better image. Nice work. It would be nice to have a color representation of this image, too. Peace. -

The butterfly wing scale images come from the same specimen- a painted lady butterfly. Thanks for the feedback all.

Adirondack chair in Minnesota skyline. Nice.

Got to love it! -
Very strong image- good composition and beautiful tones. We must have had the same Navajo guide in MV.

Serge, this is a fantastic image just as it is. It conveys the vastness of the natural world and our place in it. Cropped, it says something else. Peace.

Thanks for the kind words Michael. I am only an amateur photomicroscopist and still learning how to get good images with a microscope. However, first thing you should do if you want to try these techniques is to get yourself a decent microscope with good objective lenses, and a camera adapter. There is not room here to get technical, so I will recommend a Kodak publication, Photography Through the Microscope, available through Edmund Scientific and elsewhere. I think this is the best publication of its kind, and it should enable you to get good photomicrographs. Once you have the equipment and the know-how, you can get as creative as you want. My favorite images appear at first to be something theyre not. I strive to be less clinical with my photomicrographs and, rather, look to artforms in the microscopic world that make the viewer want to investigate the image.
Slot Canyon Grays

Antelope Canyon is most commonly seen in full color, with a bright
spectrum of hues. However, I think the luxuriant textures of this
slot canyon might be brought out better in grayscale. I'd like to
know what you think.
