New York is just going down the drain. Great picture.

I'd paint out the watch, it is distracting.

it bugs me that the C of Caution is cut off but I guess that was part of the point.

Much like the recent photographs comming from Cuba, I think India's

decaying colonail buildings provide a wealth of photographic

opportunities.

very nice job

You might think about taking a bit more off the bottom of this image. I find there is a bit too much gray rock.

I would take a bit more off the bottom of the image.

I think I would have lowered the angle of the camera a bit more to try and shorten the distance between the rock in and the reflected mountain tops. I find the space between the reflected mountains and the rock is a bit dead. Just the same you have a very nice depth of field. You might want to think about how you could crop the picture of the left and right borders.

I like the different colored lights in the doors. But the forground of the photo seems a bit dark to me.

Fantastic Title

Fantastic crop, especially the zipper in the upper right corner.

I think a recrop could really improve this picture. I would take up the lower edge of the picture to be right under the boat. And the left edge of the picture to just before the base of the stairs. As it stands I think the picture suffers from too much empty space.

I just love it.

This looks like the cover of a magazine. I find both the idea expressed and the aesthetics wonderful. Was it taken in a studio?

This is a nice picture. The ambiance of the environment comes across very clearly. It feels like you are in a resturant with a woman who is casually listening to what you are saying but thinking about something else. As a technical point you may ask yourself what makes the right edge of the picture special? Why end the photograph at that particular place? I'd suggest that you could bring the right edge of the picture in a bit. Maybe right after the third red light.

This is a nice picture but the forground is a bit too dark. It might have been a good oppourtunity for a graded neutral density filter.

February 14, 2003

It's a nice picture. I wonder if it would improve if you rotated it a bit to straighten the horizon.

How about "Motherhood Rejected" for a title.

Another great texture contrast. It reminds me of when my dog used to get thistles caught in her nose.

The contrast of textures is excellent. If feels like the vase might get tickled. It's sort of erotic.

The background isn't working for me. I find it too industrial or sterile like a hospital room. There is a shadow in the foreground, which is unexplained and distracting. Also, and I'm nitpicking, I think you could have had a touch more light on the dark side of the cylinder, but I might be wrong about that.

It's quite a risk not to have the horizon horizontal in a picture. For this photograph I think you should have tried a more standard, horizontal composition.

Too bad you didn't center the top of the glass stack in the frame.

What is the picture about? It can't be about the individuals becasue they are blury. So maybe its about the crowd, but the crowd doesn't really seem to be placed in any particular way in the frame. So maybe it's about the event, but that's not either because you can't tell what the event is. This picture doesn't have a clear subject.
