Yeah, the exposure is OK, but what is the subject of the photo?

Does that bunny want to go down the rabbit hole? LOL

The crane has got to go :) It also looks slightly tilted. Kind of a spooky image, but maybe that is apporpriate for a government building.

Move a lot closer to your subject and lose the distracting vertical elements in front. Expose for the sky and let the rocks silhouette stand out.

Interesting. It raises a lot of questions like what is casting the shadow on the lower right and what is the souce of the checkerboard pattern. I think there is a little too much negative space and the picture would be stronger without the black above her lips. The breast protruding under her arm looks strange.

The bright light at the top really hurt this shot. An study of lines like this needs to be perfectly aligned. It is slightly skewed. This place has the potential to make an interesting photograph.

The sun directly above the shot and the resulting flare destroyed the contrast in this scene. The panorama is interesting, but the light makes this image flat and dull.

Very nice. I keep thinking it might have been better taken a little bit to the left, but I really like the strong diagonal of light the way it is. Excellent.

A detail of the mosaic tile facade on Leland Stanford Memorial

Church. Perspective adjustment in photoshop was necessary

because I was handholding and pointing the camera upwards to

get this detail on the wall several feet overhead. For a slow

handheld exposure, this turned out OK. It was also my first

experience using the new Fuji Velvia 100F. This film is not as

saturated as the slower velvia, but this shot would have been

impossible handheld without the extra stop of speed. If my tripod

was 15 feet tall this shot could have been better and wouldn't

have demanded a perspective tweak in photoshop. Constructive

criticism is welcomed.

what is it?

I like this composition but think it would be stronger cropped square from the left removing most of moms belly

August 13, 2003

It is overeposed. The composition is interesting but gives the impression of looking through a reflection on glass. Are those real logs? The strong bands of concentric rings seem odd.

Nice image

August 13, 2003

The lower part out of focus detracts from an otherwise interesting image.

August 13, 2003

A bit too centered for my taste. The image would have been better with greater dof instead of letting most of the image become so devoid of detail that the expanse of pure yellow overtakes the image.

August 13, 2003

Most of this image strikes me as wasted space that distracts from your real subject

August 13, 2003

A technically difficult shot I know, but it is way to soft and low contrast. I like the composition a lot

August 13, 2003

Interesting lighting and social statement. I like it.

August 13, 2003

I like this cropped version much more. The people are in the right location and add a nice splash of color to an otherwise uniteresting image. Cropping out most of the ocean remaining above the rocks would further strengthen the composition.

August 13, 2003

Nice division into thirds but the composition is marred by a uninteresting sky

August 13, 2003

This is interesting but there is just too much going on in this photo. Is the subject the foreground plants, the ox, the women, the graveyard? It needs an obvious subject.
