Converging and diverging lines. Great graphic and composition.

Really beautiful...suspended reality. Stopped motion. Lovely bokeh.

You nailed this one Javier. From the angle of her back and the crossed arms under her head all the way to the blank space in front of her.

it looks like it is becoming part of the landscape. it has character now. beautiful image.

thanks so much for the useful critique...there is no backlighting. i only had my sb-600 to light the dancer from approximately 45ft away.

 

This image is OK, but it is missing something. I am not sure I

captured what I had in my minds eye. I was tucked away in the corner

of the balcony, but did not have access to the main floor or a better

perch in the balcony. Too far to really blur background. What would

make it better?

Frame cropped from the sides to eliminate play room toys and junk. Cropped to 8x10 for printing. There is a kid sized table in front of him. and little room behind me to back up or move in. it is a small room.

This little guy was visiting with his father and grandmother. He was

fascinated by the camera and "posed" for me. This is the quick

result. Handheld with window light only.

I can viscerally experience the sensation of the moving train. the lighting and dusk light add additional credibility to the composition. Well done.

Get it? The light is in the right place. Well executed, creative....

I was actually just changing the set and testing the lighting when

her wandered into the frame. We were all pleased with the results

and decided to let me have a got with it. Tell me what you think!

does the close crop work?

This was my first "model shoot". My co-worker wants to get into some

modeling. We tried a few of these. What next? What can help this

image?

Looking for ideas. I have a couple of these in B/W and a few in

color. Wondering which suits subject best. I am starting a series of

them since I seem to keep eating at them now. TIA

top rate work. this may be one of the nicest images i have seen and rated recently.

the reflections really do add to the image. nice soft lighting and great composition. winning shot.

the blurred shape of the battle ship in the harbor and the distant era of the revolution. the belt buckle is a nice symbol for the true birthplace of the revolution - in men's souls. great geometry and symbolism.

what an interesting combination of these elements in your photograph. i am truly intrigued by the swirling staircase that bisects the wall with two windows (light) and ends just above the landing. Compositionally I would say this is perfect. Beautiful.

I was using my strobe with an umbrella and had everything pre-checked

before I hit the shutter. What could I do to eliminate that shadow by

the elbow (in camera)? 45 Deg at approx 8.5 ft above them. 300WS at

1/2 power - D70s with radio trigger

It is one of those colors that can excite the spirit. What a glorious colorful and spunky composition. Frame filling joy!

Terrific candid, Jeanne.

Looking forward to hearing what you like about this candid. She was

one of a few children waiting for a parent visit Friday before

Mothers' Day. Mom never showed. The social worker said she seldom

smiles. AF 28-70 f/2.8 and 3600HS flash set for fill. f/5.6 and

1/60sec

The comments are really helpful. Thanks to all who have shared. That is what this is all about for me.

Is this too dark or would it benefit from slight brightening of the

entire image? Is it distracting that the lowest petal is off the

frame? Is it competition-worthy?

beautiful images, Howard. I was thumbing through one of your presentations. the stories that accompany these are priceless. thanks for sharing.
