It looks quite good. As though you've stumbled upon it, while walking in the woods. Here in UK they are carved into the tree and after a while the tree bark starts to try and heal the incision. Over time it "envelopes" the carving and it looks as though it is a ghostly part of the tree. They are called tree spirits here and can be found wherever carvers have been in the woods. Some frighten the crap out of you if you're surprised by them!

Has the background been manipulated? If not, it's a really striking picture.

Nice picture the dark background sends the viewer straight to the eyes and keeps them there.

See what I mean about too much work! On film... a doddle.

After 20 years on film, my first digi pic at a wedding. But too much

work after the event for me! Film much easier!

Lighting a bit too strong on one side but I really am looking for fault now! Nice picture, the sort you would'nt get fed of hanging on your wall even if the dog was not yours.

Distortion....so what. Imagine you exhibited the print. Would you expect a viewer to say,"Nice picture, shame about the distortion" or "Nice picture, shame it was'nt taken with a Canon, Minolta, Pentax, $500 lens, $1000 lens"

You can go on forever chasing equipment and the perfect picture. If a National Geographic Photographer produces the perfect picture, it's either only perfect to some, ( you may not like it) or credit is given to his/her armoury of expensive gear. pictures should speak for themselves and this one does. Spend the money on travelling to wherever you took it and take some more!

Nice! I like this one.

Fabulous picture. Real pro quality. The catchlight in the eyes draws the attention immediately to the face. Not so sure about the hand on the head making the elbow a bit prominant but still a cracking picture.

Nice. The sort of picture you can hang on the wall and never quite get fed up of looking at.

Not enough detail in the background. Dropped off into a black hole. Ansell Adams- rest peacefully it will soon pass.

There's no life in it. just an average image of no more than black and blue. Too much blue makes a picture too cold to be pleasing.

August 17, 2003

Boring.

If it was hanging on the wall say, 30"x40" it's the sort of picture that would really wick you off after a couple of days. Overdone!

If it was'nt for the fact the building is'nt straight, the viewer would think it was two seperate pictures.

August 17, 2003

Lots of nothing

August 17, 2003

Just another flower picture!

Palace of Winds - has the wind blown it over?

August 17, 2003

Not much to say really apart from the water on the face has made it look plastic.

Hair (with respect to the model) does not appear clean.

Sorry, does'nt do much for me. The main subject (presumably the boy?) is lost and overall the picture is confusing. There is too much going on and attention is lost. The missing bench on the right is annoying as balance is lost. Does'nt work as an upright either!
