  1. No no no no, don't edit out the lightpost. I would have either centered it or brought it farther to a side if I had taken the shot. La Tour Eiffel, c'est un motif tres tres cliche, and you have evoked a refreshing break 'ere.

    It's interesting to see ratings below 4 for this picture; it reinforces my belief that we are all conditioned to think of a woman's picture as nice no matter how average the execution was.
    I like the shadows and face details without harshness; the skin tones are good (it's hard to tell with Photo.net's behind-the-scenes reprocessing when this is correct).
    I don't understand the title...

    Hi T.C.: I saw the thumbnail and it looked good; once I got to the page I knew something was missing. Unfortunately, there are a couple of tricks and pitfalls (a few still elude me) that one has to be aware of prior to posting. I still have a problem with my pictures not looking like they are prior to uploading to Photo.net; I don't know what or how much automated processing they do but it usually renders them a bit flat, unsharp and with noise. That's point one.
    Point two, I think this call for higher contrast; I've attached a sample of what I mean. Cheers.

    Very well processed! Personally, I wouldn't have chopped off the right elbow/hand, but it's overall good. Was this really taken with the 28-80 lens? You must have a very good copy of it. How did you process this to B&W (other than just "desaturate")?

    I agree...as a photograph, this is not a photograph, it's more like something made with Bryce 3D or other virtual landscape generating program. It is pleasing, but it doesn't even have a context or background. It is hard to rate this or even critique it; this qualifies more as graphic art rather than photography, in my opinion.
    As art itself, it's a pleasing scene.
  2. You have the right idea here, but judging from the ratings, the idea is not thoroughly appreciated around 'ere. Like they say in the Broadway world, "you gotta have a gimmick", like this picture here.
    Unfortunately it's not the photography and idea that counts, but how much processing you've used! Try the idea above. Again, this is not a criticism at you, but others.

  3. Pas encore! Je crois...digo, creo que hubiera sido mejor si hubieses esperado que las nubes estuvieran del lado izquierdo, y el cielo despejado alrededor de la punta de la torre. Buena enmarcación.
  4. I like this a lot. It works in ways beyond abstract. How did you process this? Given the lighting conditions, either the bark was very dark or the sky very hazy (or you filtered that out).
    Nice sense of texture; on that note, the motion of the bark cracks from the bottom corner is a really nice effect.
    What lens did you use? I also own a 10D, so I'm curious for this effect, I can only guess, but I don't know how tall this is.

    I like this, but there's something missing: if this is meant to elevate the subject (person and activity), although hard given the clothing, the shadows should be brought out a bit more, that and more saturation.
    Otherwise, why don't you try this in B&W? I'm sure it will have a better impact with your subject.

    The light conditions are a challenge with a digital camera due to its chroma range. Nice composition. Perhaps bringing out the shadows a bit as well as slightly correcting the cast of the fog and it would be an "aaaaah"some pic.

    I think that it would benefit of getting the highlights brought out, and the shadows are flat. There's also two "Your text here" which wouldn't be too evident if the post were within the 800 pixel max guideline for the long side.

    I'd also crop a bit more off the left.

  5. No, the floor is fine, since it creates a better perspective impact; the top would be better without the uncomfortable narrow space left at the edge, and it's a shame the picture is small here because it's hard to see the "begging".
    Yet, this is beautiful.
  6. I see that this is full-frame; if you're after anchoring the edges, I'd move the tube so that it falls on a corner, so that the eye is lead by the perspective, not for balance waiting to be resolved.

    If you're after tonality, I'd put the center of the bright light at the highest tone zone (I'm sure that won't be hard) and bring out the contrast of the bricks.

    If you're after a barroque-like sense of nonresolution, I'd leave it as is.
