I do believe this entire series, excluding the shot of this girl standing, desperatly needs some fill lighting, would take these shots from amature to WOW.

I really like this shot, however, I think your missing some fill light on the girl. I would really like to see some soft warm light to add a little more definition to the girl, your subject. As it is right now, she is a litle blan. Try using a gold light disc, this will offer just enough light, and if you place it right, you wont lose any of the main shadowing that makes this picture so great.

I like this shot, and I dont like this shot. Whoever wanted to see this in color, you need to

ditch your digi cam and get a REAL camera!! :) What I like is the composition, I dont mind

the tangled mess in the upper right corner, it dosnt draw my eye at all. I also like the

atmosphere, the grays fade nicely into the canyon with more contrast in the foreground.

What I dont like about this is that the atmosphere that I like was gained through photoshop

instead of carefull use of the zone system and a good spot meter.

I hired this guys boat to see the mekong delta. This scene is the reason I always travel with a

good mic and a minidisc recorder now. He sang some beautiful songs about the war and

about rural life, sometimes in english sometimes in vietnamise.

Please do not rate this photograph unless you have left critique. I am intrested in others

intrepetations and comments based on the quality of the photography, not in ratings based

on their liking of the subject matter.

Thank you.

Very goth! goth--gothic? Gothic woudl be relating to the germain middle ages and the surrounding architecture. This is far from goth. Maybe crepuscular or aphotic, but not gothic.

Great shot. I really enjoy the off center elements created by the visual path between the two forground trees.

The glare off the car hood really bothers me because it draws the eye away and makes the viewer ask why is there flare over there in the dark. then you realize that this is a highly modified image and it really takes away the feel. The visual elements just fall abart upon closer inspection of this image.
