The artwork that is the subject is interesting, but the photo isn't really

The person is a distraction. Had he been looking out onto the landscape it might work. Unless you were trying to capture the chimping photographer, then the landscape is distracting

Hurricane Isabel dislodged these bouys from the entrance of Rudy Inlet.

Forget the lighting and shadows for a minute, what in the blazes is that structure??? Only in Texas ...

Undeniably wondrous. This is so good I'm not sure if it inspires me to work even harder to learn acceptable portraiture, or depresses me enough to give it up altogether ....

The answer is quite simple ... I photochopped the heck out of it. This is a scan of an old photo. Whether because of its age or it was simply a poor print, the original scan had some pretty funky color things going on. I like the composition and the various competing elements (warship and quaint lights, people strolling down the boardwalk, the snow) ...so I was trying to salvage it with my meager photoshop skills. Things weren't going as well as I wanted, so out of frustration and boredom I started playing with the contrast controls. Next thing you know, I've got this image, which emphasized what I liked most about it.

No redeeming value at all from the perspective of photography or graphic art. Peddle your political tripe elsewhere please.

Horizon seems to have a decided tilt; but doesn't detract significantly from overall image.

Wonderful colors!

Love the hands. Well done overall

Focus

Would be good if the guy with the cigarette were in focus

Would be interesting if it was in focus

Yep, this is the Mountain we all remember. Saw Leslie West about 5 years ago - he can't weigh more than 165 lbs now. Glad he got healthy, but this is what I was visualizing as I was listening to him. Thanks for the wonderful shot.

At least the picture could have been cut straight

I'm really very jealous of your room.

Given this pose, I'd suggest that the model's legs would have been better positioned so the feet did not show. Her pose and expression are quite nice, and the black shoes against a white background are very distracting, pulling the viewer's eyes away from what I think should be the focal point of the image - her face.

Wonderful composition. Simple is good !!

As an exercise in color, the colors are too washed out. As an exercise in form, there are no readily apparent shapes or forms. The image gives no clue as to the subject or purpose of the photo.

A shot of just the water isn't really very interesting. Try including more of the surroundings, such as the opposite shore.

What is the theme of the picture? Other than all being firefighters, they seem to be just standing around. There doesn't appear to be anything which ties them together.

As the sign seems to be the focal point of the photo, rather than those carrying it or observing it, the photo seems to be more of a political statement in itself.

No, its not bad. All I'm saying is that as I can no longer recognize what this is a picture of, or what part of the image was manipulated, I think its more a work of graphic art than photography. As a work of graphic art, I like it...the colors, compositino and balance are quite nice. BTW, after thinking a bit more on this, I have edited my previous marks. Please don't take these comments wrong ... what you are doing is good and you should continue to explore it.
