Really nice mood in this one. Rough hewn and isolated.

Nice. Great light.

True grit. Keep it up!

This was a challenging shot in a dark cathedral where tripods weren't

allowed. However, I really like how it turned out. I'm particularly happy with

how the window areas became so white and provided a contrast to the

darkness. What do you think? Comments/ratings appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Really nice.

Nice play of tonality.

Nice! Very simple. But your horizon is going downhill. Straighten and it would make a nice poster.

Really nice.

This is my favorite from the series that I shot during the recent power outage

here in the city. I'd appreciate any comments/ratings on this and any others in

the folder. Please keep in mind that these were all shot hand-held, some in

near complete darkness. Thanks, Mark

I just checked out your version 2. Much better. Interesting pose, good DOF and wicked sharp. The bass is in a bit of an odd spot, maybe the saturation could be played down a bit, or I think it would look fine in BW. Nice shooting in difficult circumstances.

Like the picture! I think the framing is a bit heavy-handed though.

July 24, 2003

Nice!

Nice shot. I'd like to see Bob in a little less cluttered of a composition though.

Nice freeze frame! I'd like to see the bee more centered, and the stem is a bit distracting, but it has a nice DOF.

Close! I'd really like to see those mountains a bit clearer. Also, I think there's a bit too much sky going on. Cloudless days are tough that way. If you can get this shot again with some interesting cloud shapes... As well, the boat keeps pulling my eyes way to the right. I'd put it closer to the center or lose it entirely. Nice shot of a nice view. All above IMO, of course.

I really like this. It is simple, clean and enjoyable to look at. It also serves as a

reminder of all the beautiful stuff that happens around us on a daily basis.

Drop a tomato into the sink while washing it, and something like this might

happen. If only we could freeze time and look for a while...

Reminds me of that... is it Manet? Nice shot. Maybe could have been shot 1/2 stop down. Lost some detail in the dress. Nice pose though.

July 22, 2003

Needs a touch of sharpening. Nice otherwise.

July 22, 2003

Nice colors. A bit too horizontal. Is there more?

July 22, 2003

Very funny!

July 22, 2003

Good background, but maybe you should crop some of the lost foreground out. I'd keep the silo's though, they're nice.

July 21, 2003

A good shot. I'm thinking about the shapes of the logs relating to the shapes of the chimneys in the background. However, this one is an unfortunate victim of vast overexposure. You might try one like this perhaps 1 or so stops down to maintain detail.

Pretty good! My only criticism is that the coolness of your flash betrays it's origin. Next time you might try a warming filter over the flash and a diffuser to cut the sharpness of the shadows. Anyway, I was just in Yosemite myself, and you get points in my book for climbing to that spot. That place damn near killed me. Check out my folder, if you'd like. I'd appreciate some feedback from someone who knows the place.
