Love this one! If her left breast was not overexposed i would give a 7.

I love the different contrasts.

I do not make potos as nice as you do but want to add something anyway. I think the pose works great. A very very small remark: her hair. I can see a little of her long hair, maybe you can make it more visible? But without showing the lines in the background.

hmmm, not sure if it is working. I only see a big pile of rust, oh wait there is a skier too...

 

Seriously, I think the skier is too small. And will be hardly seen by anyone. Also the dark trees in the background do not realy help. Nice jump though!

I think the rocks in the front makes this photo special. Otherwise it would be one out of many. Now it is unique, and I like it!

I like this one too, the thrown up snow with the sun in it looks great. The curve it makes is a nice line to follow. Good timing. I find the photo a bit too blue to my taste, but not sure how to change that. Maybe a UV filter would have helped there, or more likley a 81B-, 81C- or 81E-type warming filters. But I have never used those, so I am not sure. Keep shooting,

Good action shot! The sun in the snow around the skier is great. Try to get rid of the dark corners.

I like the composition, very well done. But the photo is very grainy, I think that is distracting a bit.

Stephan Funke; the way I changed the levels, I did not trow away any information. I still can see all the details in the darker areas. So I guess it is more a difference in monitor settings.

Great photo, love it. beautifull composed. However on my monitor it looks a bit flat. I took the liberty to make a simple and small level corrections. What do you think about this correction?

I am not sure why but this photo is really fantastic. Thanks for posting! I love it.

Wilson, You managed to add something to the very interresting architecture of Piet Blom. My compliments! I have walked many times below these houses but I have never spotted this shot, great.

What kind of steam engine is this? It is not a locomotive, right?

It really looks like this one was made in 1890 or so. I was wondering about that until I saw the color version. Nice!

Satyen,It was not my intention to hurt your feelings by beeing blunt, my appoligies for that.

isnt it normally pretty unclear in a landscape photo?

No, I do not agree with that. For example in ribon of fire the subject is pretty clear: the light of the sun on the clouds, enforced by the reflection in the lake

I think it was a good idea to use the 3 areas (water,houses,sky) but for me the number of houses shown distracts from the good point, the refelections in the window.

To show my point of showing the subject, I croped your photo a bit, to try to show what I mean.

The reflection of the sun in the windows is nice, but overall, to be blunt, I find the photo a bit boring. It took some time to find out why you took this photo. It was for the reflections, right? My advise is to better show what your subject is.

I like the concept of the colors, but I do not get the focus. Is this on purpose?

I like the portrait. Small remarks; the white areas in the background are distracting, maybe an even thighter crop would improve the photo ( so that the back pack thingy below his chin is gone)

The photo would be better if you would leave out the volyball net. It does not add anything to the sunset in my point of view.

 

I do like the clouds and light though.

Rajib, If I am honest, I think that the highlights are a bit too harsh. Maybe if you redo the scan you can lower the exposure 1/3 stop. There might be some extra details in your slide.

 

If you would have used a small fill in flash, the hands would have some detail, but my feeling is that the photo would be better without the hands at all.

Great shot, great model. Only one minor remark, change the background behind her head to some thing less distrubing, it would make the photo perfect.

Beautiful portait! I like how the man is looking at you, I like the dark background while still seeing what it is. One question, where you close (in distance) to the people? I think the hand of the woman looks too large. Maybe a longer lens and thus more distance, would prevent this. If the room is large enough for that, you should try it.

my feeling is different than most, I am more in the same direction of Jacques. To me this photo says: depression, do not know where to go, all directions are dead ends. With the head of the person slight downwards and the dark clothes makes the effect stronger; like the person feels stuck in life...

 

A great photo. I just hope this not autobiographic (auto-photo-graphic?)

Before I rate, can some one please explain to me what is so excelent about this picture, why are there are so many 7's given? I do not want to be negative, but I guess I miss the point of this photo. Yes the perspective is really difference, like the view from an insect. So that would probably be a 6 for orginality. About asthistics, the dark spot in the left top really bothers me. Same for the smaller one in the center top. Also the blade of gras on the right top makes it less than perfect. Resulting in a 4 or 5...

 

I am more than happy to learn, with good arguments, if I am wrong here.

the pole in the foreground is distracting. Secondly the photo could be a bit more interesting if we could see where she is looking at or if she would look into the camera.
