Part of a series on planting rice:Color and Black and White.

Any comments welcome.

Love the consistent style and theme of this documentary photo and most of all they go well together a series. None of them are like I'm a superstar better than the others shots. The series has a mysterious and ominous aura it.

Any comments welcome.Part of a series of photos.

I like shots under the hot midday sun done in grey. I tried this once on a shot of street workers in sand. For me the grey out is kind of visually analogous to the way intense sun like this makes you squint and not see clearly.

Beautiful colors and simple composition!

Any comments are welcome.Part of aseries.

Beautiful composition with the mist balanced by snow on the other side and the many tones of wet pavement.

Cool juxtaposition. Seen things like this out of the corner before, so I can appreciate it.

Beautiful composition. Beautiful light. Beautiful shadows.

Absolutely beautiful! The colors alone are superb!

Beautiful colors, light, and close crop. This one really stood out from all the others for me.

Does makes me feel very uneasy. Reminds me of photos of bodies piled up at Auschwitz. A reminder of mortality. The graininess is effective. The head in the upper left corner that's looking straight out and the one to the left leaning on it seem to make the composition as center points.

Any comments welcome.

Beautiful composition. Love blasts of light from windows like this!

Love the horizontals in this one. The tiny little vertical wire and the huge undulating hump of that yellow whale, also cool.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't what he was trying to get you to do.

 

I find it interesting that everyone always gives you such low ratings. Composition is said lie in subtracting away the inessential and you do this wonderfully and consistently in every piece, leaving the viewer with a raw, elemental juxtaposition of colored surfaces.

 

I find this approach and the consistent way you apply it refreshing, so I almost always give it a 7. Nobody ever seems to explain their 3's and 4's. I suppose this means they just don't understand what you are trying to do.

Beautiful composition. The silver of the fish goes well with the bluish greys of the clouds.

Steam as a transparent surface or medium. Beautiful color!

Love the mystery in this one.

Beautiful reflection, color, and mystery! You can barely make out what's happening (which adds themystery) but it looks like they are standing, faceing a Japanese style gate that towers before them.

Probably a beautiful photo, certainly in the tumbnail version. Probably just needs a higher resolution scan.

Beautiful! Probably even more beautiful if you'd gotten a little closer, but as it stands I kind of like the door with its film of rain drops.

 

The more muted colors, especially the

yellow is a nice variation on

the previous brighter yellows and the sack has

a lot more texture and less specular reflection

than the plastic did.

 

Like the way the folds and the cropping conceal

the text partially. Your experimenting with

different materials like this is inspiring.

Beautiful! I envy your ability to subtract away all but the beautiful core of a scene.

Beautiful detail you've captured here.
