I was shooting a macro and decided to experiement with an

overexposure. I got a fairly satisfying result! Thoughts?

Hi Jim,

 

Thanks so much for your comment on my photo The Tree! I really like your infra-red / b&w landscapes, especially this one. I find a lot of character in dead/bare trees also. Great work!

I was originally going to do this as a color, but at the last minute

decided to black & white it; to my pleasant surprise, it worked. Any

thoughts would be helpful!

One of the first shots with my new 70mm F/2.8! Wonderful lens. I

think I may have erred by narrowing the DOF too much, and the amount

of foreground blur is a little distracting. But, I will still happy

with the detail in the eye!

Any comments would be welcome

Jiri, this is a great picture. The colors are bold and the sky is very dramatic. I like the tilted angle and think it adds strongly to the composition.

 

Your fashion folio is really striking. I like your sense of style and the atmosphere of your images.

 

Take care, MQ

A shot in the church on Michigan avenue last summer. On reflection I

would have placed her in the bottom right or left corners.

A second in a series of pictures of the wonderful Disney Concert

Hall. Previously, I have tried to capture it from afar, but here is

an investigation of the building from a more intimate perspective.

Your comments would be very appreciated! Thanks! MQ

Hi Tuhin,

 

Lovely shot... very dramatic and striking. Have you considered removing the telephone pole and lines in the background, because its the only thing that distracts from your main subject!

 

Take care, MQ

Hi Juan,

 

Nice shot! Its a beautiful, but also difficult building to photograph because there are SO many possibilites! I went with trying to get an overall shot of it, but I like how you've captured its spirit by finding one of its unique details! Thats why I like Frank Gehry!

 

Have a great day, MQ

Umair, your portfolio is nothing short of breathtaking. You can almost smell/feel/taste pakistan in your shots. I especially like this picture because of way you have posed your subjects! Such character in their serious, young, faces. Are the green hats that color originally, or did you colorize them?

 

Thanks! MQ

James, thank you for kind comments.

 

Actually, the top two structures in the upper-middle portion of the image are part of the building! The one that sticks out in the upper left is the one I should have removed!

 

Thanks again for your comments. --MQ

It is a beautiful building, and I shot it from multiple angles. I

used a very wide 15-30mm Sigma lens to go wide enough to capture it.

The thing which is hard is not to get the streetlamps in! On

reflection, I think I may revise the image by removing the buildings

in the background on the top & middle left side.

Would appreciate any feedback.

I liked this picture in color, but I shot the next one in black and

white and thought it worked much better. Would appreciate any

comments!

More macro of flowers. I like the colors on this, and how they get

stringer as you get to the center of the picture.

Simple reason... no lighter fluid! I would have preferred to have it lit!

Its an amazing feeling to discover the joys of directed lighting.

The third of my recent forays. Hope u enjoy!

Beautiful. The layering, macro and light work very well, and the off-center composition is just right. The elaborate border/framing is uneccesary in my opinion... the image speaks for itself.

Simple capture of a lilly. Altered in photoshop slightly to darken

lines and remove a petal of another plant to give a solid black

background

With regard to Doug's comment : Thats why the title is called "The Glass Ceiling"

This is an incredible shot. Sir, I looked at your portfolio and your talent is an inspiration!

Exquisite.

The image, although beautiful, looks like it was cutout from the original and placed in a black background. Softening the edges usually makes it appear less like an insertion

The composition is good, though I think it would work better in black and white and slightly higher contrast.
