I like the range of greens (thalo to yellow-green)

This works well. Model's expression really does it.

You'll have to explain what these people are doing. Livng in North America, I immediately thought it was the Klu Klux Klan from the American South ( a bunch of evil racist white supremisists).

Composition and artistic elements are flawless.

I love the composition, but it would have worked better for me if everything was in focus (I know that would be difficult)

I like it, but I wonder if you have tried with other backgrounds besides white.

Nice. You may want to experiment with other colours subtley. Just an idea.

You to do more with this. It's a bit plan as is.

Very Striking. Something that can only be communicated in B&W. Strong contrast works well. So does that touch of Mona Lisa expression in the model.

Hidden colours brought out by cranking up the saturation selectively.

Taken in the alley way behind Future Bakery on Bloor for those of you

in Toronto.

Compostion and tonality capture the mood very well.

Done mostly in Picture Window Pro. Some high contrast and

postarization effects. If want to know more about the Afro Celts and

the instrument in the photo (a kora), go to www.afrocelts.org.

 

It was a handheld shot with a 300mm f5.6 lens. I'm surpised it wasn't

a mass of blur.

Shot on a dull day with Ilford SFX 200.

I was jostled about when I sanpped this one. I ended up liking the

angle and the boy on the curb. Manipulated almost to death in

Photoshop and Picture Window Pro. Suggestions and comments welcome.

The only thing that would have improved the impact of the image was something beyond your control. If the only woman facing into the camera was the one in red.

Scanned from a Delta 400 negative. Comments and Constructive critcism

welcomed. I'm attracted to oblique angeles - what can I say.

I gave it couple minutes in photoshop. Mostly working with the level (RGB, blue and green channels). Tweaking in hue/saturation. Obviously not finished, I hope it gets you the idea.

Composition is perfect. The sunrise/sunset colours are very good. The rest of the image is a flat. I would suggest adding saturation, maybe a little contrast.

There is nothing I can critcize about this. You've picked a wonderful setting. Composition is excellent. I see this as Adam before the creation of Eve.

I really love the the tonality of this picture and the soft luminousity. I have decided about the moon though. It's a a bit distracting, but if it was removed, the blance in picture would change. Hmmm.

I'd add a very little bit of colour and barely perceptible pattern to the background. Nice time piece - mid to late 80s? If it's recent, then it's well conceived.

 

Oh yeah, takes the guts out the SE30, put in a couple of bricks - makes a good boat anker.

The tail sticking out of its head takes away from a very original photograph for me. I think you could play with this one and come with a dozen interesting images

I agree with Joachim and Bora.

Get rid of the tree on the left. It ruins an otherwixe very good picture with good tonality, compositon and mood.

A tree like this defintely screams 'Take my picture'. Tonality conveys the mood for an overcast day well. You might have considered photographing from a different angle to lift it above the horizon a little more. I find the upper right foreground branches distracting. Keep at it.
