Super, par excellent Simon!  The lines, diagonals, and the rough cut.  Three major sections of this image. I like the hued color treatment a lot.

Well done.

I can learn a lot from your photography Charles.  I love this -- love its starkness and the subject matter.  Black & Red.  Well done.

Spectacular!   I will now have to search for that boat.

Color, exposure perfect.  Thanks for the inspiration.   -Ken

ISO 400 because it was "dark".  Highest ISO with cleanest image I could use and still a large print (18x12 inches minimal).  Hand held (no tripod, 5 miles into the hike)

For sure -- crop it tighter like you did Jeff.  Disconcerting as heck having her feet cut off.

Your pretty much exactly correct about this location Jeff. Thanks for the comments.  I believe at times the waves & swells were larger that morning.

Simply superb Dave.

I've been to Davenport a few times so thanks for the location "tip."  Just excellent -- all the color and long exposure and the care you took for this shot.

(also, I am gonna guess your camera's clock is an hour off)

"Suites"? as in rooms?  Confused....

I like this image a LOT! As someone who also takes a lot of ship photos this one is excellent.
A few minor gripes: the image as posted and in the portfolio is really small -- esp. considering the large subject matter and detail most likely present. It's all missed in these teeny tiny posted images. And yes, I too feel I have to lean as the "ship is listing" due to the dark shadow at the bow.
Fine composition, nice night light, and wonderful exposure and a deserved POW. Just... why so small?

I too think this is an EXCELLENT photo rendered superbly in a square format (film used here is square?). The digital frame is bizarre indeed but the muted color and not-so-sharp image is appealing (don't know what Alex meant by "over sharpened..." what?).

Nice pose -- nice subject matter perfectly composed -- well done.

In the thumbnail size I thought this was San Francisco c. 1917 and wondered -- how'd you take this photo? Seriously.

Excellent Ron. Wonderful.

Critique Request please -- the fog layer was perfect -- no bright sunny

motes peeking through! Douglas Fir dominated forest 1300' above Olema,

Calif. along the San Andreas rift zone.

I love this photo with a couple minor reservations:

* It's too small to be really appreciated online (only 600 px high); even Facebook allows for 720 px. I still fail to see the reason to post this tiny.
* Too bad the EXIF is stripped (but it is a 10 sec. exposure)
* it's borderless, so the impact is way too simple; it needs "setting off"

Regardless, being a dweeb I have to mention this. I cannot tell this is taken in a rain downpour. I love the greens and the composition and the perfect exposure. Printed large this would be a beautiful, tight landscape to hang on the wall.

Bravo Marc!

Rather fantastic John, in both main senses of the word.

I like this a lot and you rendered it well. Certain types of overt manipulations lead to a better, final product.

I like this a lot -- colorful -- intentionally motion-blurry works with the odd, old brick background.

Which race is this though?

THIS is excellent.  Nice demo.  Bravo man!

Excellent Alex -- love the tone, the technique, the veil and smile.  Nice focus on the eyes.  Bravo!

Their feet are cut off -- distracting. Also, just an OK use of selective coloration.

A very nicely composed photo Sunil. Good exposure, color, & contrast. You did your best to find a setting & composition that suit you and the oft-shot image of the GGB and SF in background.  Very cool.

Excellent B&W rendering/conversion Tim. Nice shadow angles and the steam coming from the chimney.  Minimal flare doesn't bother me either.

Looks cold!  Looks old.

Reminds me a LOT of Cygnus X-1 and the cover of the  Joy Division album.

Nice black & white only image.

Title?  Border?

Otherwise this is excellent.

Wow!  Having trekked to the top of Taranaki this is one excellent view. Nicely done Tomek.  Excellent. I've a few here:

I love the texture you added to this boxed in view of the city. It works very well and makes for a stunning photo Pierre.  Nice!  Love the colors too, of course.
