orpheus

very sharp...nice perspective although either including the whole propellor or cropping it off more probably would've been more effective...

whoa weird...hehehe...guess it's one of those miniature parks; REALLY looked like a life-size "village" until i saw those large humanoid monsters trampling through it...hehehe...nice depth of view too btw...

William, if i only included the reflection, there would actually be less impact b/c the surrounding architecture helps to put the reflection in context...otherwise, it would just look like a reflection or worse yet...seeing through some bars with the sky as the background...In Vancouver, there's very few LARGE scale mirror structures which fit together so perfectly and is in such new condition...most of the window sets in the downtown area and other places contain either other buildings which don't allow for such a reflection, or are purposely made such that they don't produce an overall FLAT reflective surface, producing a picture like this.

 

As for Robin, I did consider shooting at it straight on but I didn't for two reasons: first, changing my position such that I have a "heads" on view doesn't capture all the clouds like this; to the left of the cloud reflection, there is only blue sky...this was the best angle to capture the most clouds. Secondly, if you look really carefully, the angle of the cloud formation is actually slanted in such a way that taking the picture from this particular angle actually "deslants" it giving a more unique flattening of the depth of the clouds...

Just trying out some sunset silhouette pictures...It's really too bad my scanner sucks...really couldn't rectify (even using Adobe Photoshop and CorelPaint) the contrast imbalance with the lower left...the actual picture is sharper and has less of a light to dark gradient from right to left...although the colour gradient is actually almost as shown...

Nice colour contrast with the background...as well as a sharp motion capture...

Hope you weren't afraid of heights and had good balance. 8) Nice perspective and depth of view, vibrant colours too, but i think the statue-thing at the end of the roof actually ruins the view more than helps with the composition.

Very nice lighting...

Nice swinging freeze-action photo...I love the "lost" looking expression on his face...

take a bow, u deserve it...i think this picture, like many have said, truly captures the moment...i can totally imagine this being on the front page of a newspaper...

Thought this turned out pretty amusing with the water droplets running down their apprehensive faces...the white background of photo.net washes out the light rays coming through the door unfortunately (coupled together with the poor scanner)...If you look at it with a black or darker background, it helps to improved the visual effects.

I'm not sure about what other ppl think, but it sure looks like a guy with a shotgun to me...or maybe a bazooka...hehehe

A little too much black for my personal taste...8)

Wow....nice action-stopper...esp. w/ the expression on the animal...too bad the angle couldn't get the expresssion on the man's face too...

Very distinct colours...from a quick glance, could've sworn it looked like an orange.

Wow, looks like one of those 1950's B&W movies screen capture...it isn't one is it? Heheheh

I'm really not sure what I make of this image...was there a special message u were trying to convey?

Reminds me of the teleporters from Star Trek...hehehe...nice exposure time...

A surprisingly engaging piece. Visually, the focus is on the meter in the background, but b/c the print is sideways, the mind tends to "ignore" it, giving way to the painfully obvious out-of-focus foreground valve, but b/c it's out of focus, the attention shifts back to the meter, and then back again...Interestingly enough, the moment you rotate the image (or your head) so that the numbers/words are horizontal and upright, the focus almost indefinitely stays with the meter...8)

Guess no one works at night...8) Wonderful exposure with a surprisingly still foreground...

A more balanced exposure would be nice...but taking direct sun photos is always quite challenging to get just the right amount in the foreground (something is definitely grammatically wrong in what i just wrote...)

Overly heavy on the shadow, personal taste...8) But otherwise, the stare is quite piercing...

A very interesting highlight amidst the darkness...

A surprising silhouette that one might not notice if we don't look carefully...8)

A very beautiful picture...altough i'm wondering whether a diffrent background colour would have enhanced the details of the flower...but then again, the consistency of colours gives the picture an overall mellow and serene tone.

Nice contrast, but perhaps lacking a little in the msg u are trying to convey (if any)...
