Stefan?

(I hope the English students are telling something about the photo)

This is an excellent street photograph; my first impression was that it was posed, for there are certain things about the body language that don't make sense, but if it's true that this is unposed, this is was a priceless opportunity well executed.

Howard, another great portrait. I like how you aligned it diagonally from top left to bottom right.

The cropping and the framing makes this even more effective. Very well executed.

This picture is underrated. I think the composition is excellent, the tonality is beyond any reproach, and every single crevice catches your attention (some people call that "distracting", I call it enriching).

And they tell me at work that I love my camera too much. This one's interesting.

This is wonderful. Tu as trouve un arbre avec un oeil que nous avons l'as montre d'une facon tres speciale. Bien fait.

Nice capture.

Thank you, Craig. This was a candid photograph; no staging or anything like that. I asked my friend if she would mind if I took a few pictures of her so that I could test my "new" lens (it's 60+ years old) that I had just bought; as she pondered, I took the picture. She agreed, of course. I thought this was the best of the roll, and the most natural.

This is very good. It has a certain quality where the softness adds to the character of the picture. All elements are incredibly well framed in the picture, and the shadows here very well work against the soft highlights. The composition is so good I would have thought it is staged, but I cannot believe so. I like it a lot.

Original angle for a well-known bridge. I long to visit Prague once again...

I see Ramon, but you gave this one a 6/6, which is indeed blurry, so I think you mean that you don't like depth-of-field effects, at least in this picture?

Thanks Howard, very much. This is one of my pride and joys, and the picture that conviced me that sharpness isn't everything; a near-60-year-old lens can outperform the latest technology.

I obviously like to hear positive feedback, but also would like to hear what does not work about this picture; a rating followed by a comment is the best critique I can have, so thank you all that have done so so far.

Beautiful light, exquisite tone. You can almost touch it. Well done!

Very nice placement of the subject, and great tones. I agree with Jack, though, it's a shame that the cars are in the shot, but it does give the picture a sense of spontaneity.

This one stood out. Bravo.

Esta me parece mejor y mas creativa. Hay mas elementos en juego, y, sin tratar de cansar las palabras, mas juego entre los elementos.

Me parece genial. Me pregunto si seria mejor que hubiera mas espacio entre el marco mismo de la "fotografia" y los elementos, y entre pintor/pintura y "modelo".

Sigue.

O bandeja en retrato? Mmmm...
Me gusta, un poco Daliesco. Pero le hace falta algo, francamente no se que es. Quiza es la culpa del monitor, con sinceridad, pues mucho se pierde en la frialdad de estos computadores.
