Perfectly captioned! I like the tonal varience, the lighting that creates the 3 dimentional form and the simplicity in how you created this effect.

I sincerely hope that common subjects captured creatively and that good calendar art continues to be enjoyed by the buying public in my neck of the woods for a few more years anyway. My chosen style of image capturing has been evaluated by some other photographers as common. The last time by a photographer whos own choice of style consisted of images of mud caked nubile nude women rolling around on a bare floor

 

Please dont read any holier than thou tone in that description. That photographers images were technically good if not excellent photographs and Ive never had a problem with mud caked nubile nude women rolling around on my studio floor or rather I wouldnt have if they ever would. The gentleman photographer did express surprise when he found out that I was marketing "common" (read: selling for real dollars) images of loons, frogs, dragon flies, sunsets etc etc Not Ansel Adams level of ability or income but it does keep me interested and out of serious trouble. I get the impression that radical, innovative, way-out-there-creative just doesnt necessarily provide any financial assistance to the calling. Certainly it can, but probably not often.

Bobby, youve got the ability, talent, equipment, portfolio and desire. Now just get the marketing nut cracked and you will never look back.

Bobby, I suppose that if I were to invest the time, I too could find fault and could then go out of my way to pontificate negatively on your striking photograph. But I'm too impressed with it's powerful visual impact to try to detract from your exceptional capture!!!

7/7 out of 7/7 is the minimum that I can give it.

Arturo, A full bodied saturation of colour and form. Well lit with smooth modulation. One small comment, maybe reducing the "sky" a little would balance the composition and maximise the visual impact.

Angel, I like the way the mass of the light tone of the glass of coffee visually anchors the composition centrally (while still adhering to the 1/3 rule for those who are 1/3 rule obsessed). The feeling this shot generates (for me) is either getting ready for a day of shopping and shooting or a rest after a full day of the same.

Charo,

 

Considering the comments and reviews relating to your photo that was chosen for the Photograph of the week on Photo.Net, I'm not one looking to attempt at correcting perfection but would like to offer a humble suggestion.

 

What do you think of adding an additional colour overlay to the right side of the "Blue & Yellow" photo to make it "Blue & Yellow & Blue" as it were? Do you think that by duplicating the cyan tone on the right side of the frame it helps to balance the composition?

 

It it just a suggestion and not to be taken as a negative criticism.

 

Regards, G.

"Wow!" was my first impression. Great depth pulls the viewer deep into the image. The strong contrast between the bright snow and the tree and rocks eases off into the receeding distance of the mountains. A brush painting style in photography. Good work David!
