I've done very little abstract work, so I thought I'd give it a go.

This is a shot of a wake created by a whale-watching tour boat in

Maine. I had other ideas for the shot at the time of exposure, but the

resulting shot never seemed interesting enough to work with.

 

Eventually I decided it might be neat to play with its abstract

possibilities. I converted it to B/W, messing with color channels to

get a good contrast, and then applied a solarization filter. Now I

sort of like it. :-)

 

Please let me know what you think.

 

Thanks!

Amid the myriad leading lines in this photo I hope there is a good

composition in this photo. Any and all suggestions are most appreciated.

Beautiful.

Very very nice!

There's a lot of blank and boring sky in the picture. Try a tighter crop. Very nice concept and execution, though!

Beautiful. Creepy. Seriously cool.

I would have called it "Martini Glass." :-) Very nice work!

I really wish the left tower wasn't cut off. Great shot, though!

I've tried a number of times to get something like this at a hot air balloon launch. I've never been happy with what I came away with. Your shot is wonderful in its simplicity. The curves contrast with the straight lines, the white contrasts with the dark red.

 

A couple of things I'd try:

1. Try increasing the saturation on the reds and brightening up the whites.

2. Rotate the crop counter-clockwise so that the lower draped fabric hangs vertically.

 

Love the shot. Keep on shooting!

I'd appreciate comments on any aspects of this image. I did soften it

quite a bit and I'm unsure if that is helping or hurting the overall shot.

I dunno... It looks more like what snails have nightmares about! He looks trapped. ;-) Just kidding. I really like the light through the leaves. It would have been nice to have the back end of the snail illuminated a bit more, though I can see how that would have been difficult. Neat shot all 'round.

Very nice. I would like it more if the focal plane had been parallel with the faces of the gears.

I particularly like the "window" looking in.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The lighting couldn't be better. The pose, fantastic.

Incredible light work. The pose is a little contrived, but everything comes together very well. Bravo!

Very nice.

Very very nice. I would have liked the lighting to be slightly softer, but a fantastic image nonetheless.

I took this shot for an entry into a photo competition where the theme

is "Opposites." I thought the "fire and ice" thing worked for the

competition entry, but I'm curious what people think of the shot

standing on its own.

 

Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated.

Just when you thought you've seen all the cute kitty pictures you'll ever need to see, someone posts a wonderful shot like this. Very nice indeed.

I really haven't done much in the way of nature shooting. This little

guy was really jittery and just wouldn't hold still. That, coupled

with the slow shutter speed due to the cloudy day, made me glad I

wasn't shooting film. Out of almost two dozen shots, this is one of

only a couple that didn't go to the trash bin.

 

Thank you for any and all comments or suggestions.

Just looking for general comments about this, my first attempt at a

studio shot. It's a composite of two photos: The habanero itself and a

4th of July sparkler.

You're absolutely right about the color correction. I've learned A LOT over the past year or so and have been meaning to re-visit this photo and fix it up right. Thanks for your version -- it'll give me something to go by.

After a couple of years developing my skills, I've decided to go back

and see some of the shots I'd taken when I first got into photography.

I took this shot during a Maine vacation back in 2001. I re-cropped

and performed some minor corrections.

Not having done much macro photography, I'm looking for any input I

can get. The original exposure was of the entire flower, but I thought

this cropped version worked better. Thank you for any and all comments

or suggestions.

Nice shot. Would be more interesting if you could see more of the door.
