This is taken after a full day of riding at Alpine Meadows, so I'm

obvoulsly stoked and tired at the same time. I think this portrait

captires the moment quite well..

Couldn't get rid of the second stone.. Does this work as is?

I see a little disbalance though between the face and the overall geometry. Wonder how this would look like if the guy was looking away down the corridor.

 

Also the pose seems a bit tense and unnatural, but maybe it's good here.

Comments/suggestions appreciated. TIA!

For some reason this shot gets three times more hits than all others

in my portfolio. Why is it so?

I'd like to get a better view of the light strip there, the foreground seems unnecessary to me.

I can't seem to get this image to look anywhere as nice as some of

the photos here. Is it just my camera, or I need to digitally

process it somehow? I did the unsharp mask and levels, don't really

know what else I can do.

Was it worth the effort? :)

Impressions, suggestions, comments are very welcome. Thanks!

Is it too "geometrical"? Does it capture the vastness of the space

for you?

I took maybe 50 shots of this place within a couple of hours I've

been there - from different vistas, with different camera settings...

 

Please look at the other image in the same folder, and advise on what

you would do there and which one of my photos do you like better?

Is stuff like this worth doing? (see the other red macro in the same

folder).

 

BTW, guess what is it? I'll post the right answer later..

 

Not altered in any way - just scaled to 640x480.

Could I do better with this model/light? I tried taking another shot

from the ground level, but hopelessly screwed up exposure on that

one..

A very good moment, but I think there's something with either composition or contrast or DOF that prevents me from really enjoying it. "Old man" doesn't stick out and is not separate enough from the background is the best way I can put it in words.

out of focus and shaky, but I still like it
