Hey dude - i'd love to go through these pictures with you in person sometime. Quick thoughts on this one -- i think the film you used was not balanced for the lighting here ... way too much blue. The varying verticals from the left and center columns is disconcerting. I think you were going for the dichotomy between the OR and the person on the right walking away ... but i think we're too far away (and the people are cutoff). Also, what does the composition, including the stuff on the left, the open doors and the general 'away from the action' add to the shot? what do you want that to say? Just stuff to think about :)

Nice, but i'd crop tighter
-
Interesting combination of colors .. but seems a bit altered. If not, nice work -
Don't breach your artistic integrity by going along with someone else on something when you don't feel that way yourself! ;) All i can say about this discrepancy is... every person has his or her expectations and preferences in photography. -
Very interesting shot: you've got a great eye. Printing and/or scanning could use some work (not too sharp and the tones seem a bit flat). -
Interesting scene, well composed and decently printed. I must ask: is this some metaphor that i'm not quite catching? Keep up the nice work -
I would argue that it was a quite effective choice -- i really like the square perspective to the bird and the tilted background certain gives a more 'natural' flight appearance. A very nice shot that is a nice step above your earlier shots of seagulls.. tis a shame you didn't get the whole bird in the shot. (ps -- did you notice the pattern of ratings you got on this one? look at the originality ratings.... steps). -
Some very nice shots you have -- the subtle coloring effects are fantastic! I don't know how exactly you did them, but it looks quite a lot like pastel handcoloring of silver prints: an art i admire but can't do worth a darn ;) Nice moment in this shot... but the shadows are a bit too deep for my taste. Beautiful nonetheless
-
Exposure seems quite off on this one -- the snow isn't white, the black is too dark. Way too much dirty snow taking up too much central space as well. Also, it feels tilted to the left a touch. Not your strongest.
-
i must admit the the composition is growing on me... a little. It still feels slightly haphazard .. like you didn't know exactly how you wanted to display the scene in the final image. The printing, however, is some of your best. Keep up the good work and post more! -
Reminds me of some famous pictures of Picasso on a beach. Good work, but a bit too tight compositionally.
-
This is an excellent portrait - The coat he is wearing detracts a bit .. a tad too commercial. But great work! VU is one of my favorites .. and i'm listening to VU+Nico right now ;) -
I've already communicated this to Dennis ... but i thought i'd also post here to save a bit of face ;) my original comment does remain valid, imo, when the picture is seen on its own. But once one sees the photo essay this shot is from (do go see it at dennis' site: dwho.com) it takes on a whole new meaning ... and becomes quite spectacular. More to you Dennis -- great work again!! (Sorry this comment is so late in coming!)

My favorite building and church in Russia (And i visited A LOT of them) and perhaps my most favorite location in the world. Did you get to go inside on the tour? Simply marvelous -- the history behind this cathedral is fascinating ... in fact there are 8 separate chapels that make up the whole of St. Basil's. Lovely!
-
slightly disturbing series -- but fantastically done! great,great work
-
Looks like a stunning pic from the thumbnail -- but is simply gargantuan from the actual upload! Please, please resize so we can see it properly. -
Congrats, Geert, on this being selected POW. I must agree with doug burgess'
comment of earlier, where he agrees that this is a great pic but not without fault -- i
don't think there is much that i could add to that. Great work, and congratulations
-
Very nice architecture folder - i particularly like those that contain curves (as opposed to straight lines). You've done great work with the curved shapes -- these images are much more appealing to me. good work -
-
I don't particularly like the busy background on the right hand side of the image. Of course, i don't know what the church looks like in person, so i most obviously cannot recommend how to recompose the shot from here, but rather can only suggest that more simplicity is called for imo. She is also too central. --- With a potentially powerful scene such as this, i think direct and simple can prove the most effective method for creating the mood you want. I think getting closer to the woman (if possible) would also help create a more definitive and substantial image.
-
I would much prefer to see a more interesting horizon for a pic of this nature. Of course there are other things i'd personally change : but thats wholly in the realm of artistic perspective and interpretation of the scene.
-
Good stuff - but i think the horizon is tiltling a bit to the left. Also, the flare/haze, primarily in the first few waves, annoys the heck out of me. Perhaps a bit of underexposure at time of exposure would have helped this a bit. Beautiful work all around
-
It's hard to pick one of your panoramas of my fine city as a favorite -- so i won't :) great work
-
I like this little series - very dreary due to the overcast and underexposure. Needs some work compositionally and in tones (dreary, but too dreary?) Still, good work
