I usually don't play around too much in Photoshop (other than

curves, levels and sharpness), but I made an exception with this

one. Comments?

A typical Hollywood-action-movie shot. This could easily have been a still from a "Die Hard" type of movie. As a film promo it works just fine.

A wideangle version of another of my photos (shot with a 180mm).

Comments?

This is one of more than 40 shots of the same subject. Great light

and a great photo opportunity. Comments?

A single shot. Didn't expect much, but here it is. I like it. Anyone?

A strong graphic image. Well done!

I agree that the plastic bag in the lower right-hand corner is distracting, but it's a great, visually interesting self-portrait. Perhaps a tiny bit more contrast?

Nice, but I think it would have been even better if the face had been completely hidden. Showing only the nose and mouth is a bit distracting. Also, the arm appears a bit large, compared to the face. I guess it's taken with a wide angle lens? Try a similar shot with a slightly longer lens, and turn the face away from the camera (or raise the arm slightly).

Nice shot, but I think that a wider view would be even better. And perhaps the girls shouldn't be looking directly into the camera? Walking across the frame could prove to be a better solution.

Nice, but I think your other portrait (1317826) is even better (although I don't like the blur in the eye).

Very surrealistic. I like it.

Great strong colors. I'm not usually thrilled by such "art" filters (or whatever you've done), but I like this shot, as well as your entire "Hoosier Hysteria" folder.

Thank you for your feedback. Personally, I believe this is one image where the rule of thirds don't apply. If a subject (like this) depends on symmetry for effect, I believe a central position is preferable. Still, thinking about it, you may be right. I'll try to crop a few different versions from the original file and see how it works out.

 

Finally, the image is not rotated (the window is!).

This is one of several Hale-Bopp photos taken in March and April

1997. Hale-Bopp was one of the great comets of the 20th century.
