PT I like everything about it --the almost geometrical composition, grains, and monotone choice. Kudos!

July 23, 2006

PT, I really appreciate the the well thought two photo submissions to this folder. Both are well done. The one you uploaded here seems a bit unsharp. The idea is good and well composed.

July 23, 2006

Well seen and captured. The colors are punchy and the theme fit works really well for me.

July 23, 2006

PT, I am not sure about the theme but can think of one interpretation that might work. The composition I think is a bit busy. I would suggest shallower depth of focus if your equipment allows that. The monotone conversion is good.

July 23, 2006

PT, I am guessing that your main emphasis was on the signs for the theme. I am not quite sure I understand this. Need to think about it.

PT, it first the theme for me and I like the small piece of bark at the bottom right. Well seen.

Andrew, Thanks for your comment. I like the points you mention. The slope from left to right does make it asymmetric and may give a feeling of a strong tilt. I would like to redo this photograph. Yes, I was indeed living in the Boston area for some time, I have moved since the begining of this year.

Dear PT, I like your idea behind it. I thought the best way to accentuate what -- I think -- you were trying to show: the asymmetry in the partially fogged up window panes was to go monotone. I played around by correcting the perspective+cropping to get the following. What do you think?

July 13, 2006

PT, I like the reworked version as well.

July 11, 2006

PT this is a good idea. The only suggestion I have is whether you could have combined the two halves at the center.

Joe, thanks for your comment and suggestion for anither version. I like the idea, now I need to think about what you said about sharpening being acheived using controlled addition of noise.

July 6, 2006

Joe, thanks. I see what you are saying, I am in two minds about the nets. I will play around with it and try another shot at it.

comments are welcome.

This is a very well composed shot and the mystery adds to the photograph. The monotone conversion is splendid with nice tonal range. Thanks for sharing.

PT, I am bit late for the choco-party, but anyhow wanted to say this is a good idea and well implemented.The best part is the simplicity of it all. I had given some thought along these lines but had more crazy ideas.

PT, a nice abstract-ish interpretation of the theme. I think this photo would have benifited from a little more color, either yellow or maybe some red.

June 26, 2006

PT, good outside the box thinking on this one. Really like the effect you have achieved with the geels here.

June 26, 2006

PT this is an idea that is an immidiate themefit. However, this needs some work on two counts. Firstly, from what I can see this was shot in hard sunlight and it is incredibly hard to get it right. I recommend an ND filter to buy you a couple of stops. Secondly, the composition needs some work as it is very busy at the top.

June 24, 2006

I think this is a good idea and the only thing I would suggest is to make it asymmetrical by changing the viewpoint to add somthing more to the composition. Needless to say you have handled the exposure well considering that there was a huge dynamic range to manage.

June 24, 2006

Thanks for your comment. I agree that the composition needs to be tweaked and will work along the lines you suggested.

June 24, 2006

PT : Of the two that you have uploaded for the theme. I like this more for inexplicable reasons. Maybe it is the regular repetitive patterns and great lines.

June 24, 2006

PT I like this composition and the B/W interpretation of the theme. I like the lines and it works for me even tough at the top things seem a bit centered.
