I like this one a lot. To me the theme reside in the fact that those two light are a boy and a girl, maybe even Romeo & Juliet. This is what I get as a theme fit.

 

On the aesthetic side, I find the "Juliet" portion to be too much overexposed, but it kind of add to the feeling that it is inside of the house. For the rest, I like the composition very much as my eye keeps going from "Romeo" to "Juliet" and back to "Romeo"! Only nitpick is that I think that "Juliet" is a copy/paste of "Romeo" and even if the exposure was changed on it, I find they are too much alike.

Half hidden, half lighted. Yes, it is a little too literal. But then again, in a theme like this, everything could turn out to be conceptual. What was the concept of PT? It would be great if we could have each PT explaining their concept after a while.

I like the fit to the theme, even if to me, it is a little too direct of an approach. The inclusion of the ramp on the bottom is very good, and it breaks the line that otherwise could get a little too "simple" IMO. The toning is excellent and contribute to add a lot of atmosphere in this photo.

I like this one a lot Ashutosh. What keeps my eyes is the nice composition and the colors of your sky. Perfect exposure IMO as ye can clearly see every sections. Nice job on this one.

Ok, the theme does fit. But the big black line in the foreground is completely spoiling this photo for me. I really find it is a major distraction.

 

Also, on the composition, I think you could taken it so the red cars are not visible in the background, and so you have more space on the bottom. This would accentuate the triangle you can have with the white path.

The top sigh being nearly the only thing blurred in this photo, along with the rail on the lower left portion of the frame, works well for me. I agree that you had nice light. You could also have stopped and take some photo where the cars would be blurred because of their speed. I think it would be nice with the light you have here. BTW, PT, about that sign, are all those sign where you live 'blank' as this one? Where I live, there is usually something written on those sign along with these arrows.

I like your original the best. The grainy aspect is what catch my eye first. And I like the fact that the red foot of your model is not as much grainy as the rest. Very good subject, but I would have make it move more. I think it would look better if the head was seen equally everywhere in its movement, and maybe frozen with a small burst of flash.

The theme fit is present. That being cleared, I find the composition is not optimal. If possible, I think I would have climbed on the rear bumper of the truck, and shot wide angle from there. You would have gotten only the guy, with the trees and sky as a background. This would accentuate the apparent length of the 'mechanical arm' (don't know the right term in English) and thus accentuate the appearance of height.

Good feeling of height here. The colors are really good. I do agree that the moon is too close from the edge. But it is not the thing that bugs me the most with this photo. What bugs me is the fact that it is too much centered. The moon on the top edge and the lone tree in the bottom, both near the edge, are perfectly aligned and in the center. Because there is nothing else in this photo where the eye can go, that is not a good thing for this photo IMO. I don't find the little 'branch' on the right and the hill to be something where the eye can go. It is more a supportive element, as the nice gradation of colors in your sky.

Not too much similar to others. I would have upload it too. Anyways, at the end, there is not a lot of different alternatives available to show 'slow shutter'!

 

What I like in this one is the fact that it look almost like fireworks coming down. Only negative I find is that maybe the blur is a little too much pronounced. I would like to be able to see a little more clearly your background.

 

Overall, it fits the theme, but I think the aesthetic could be improved. But there is potential in the idea.

For me, this is a good theme fit. I was thinking about showing 'high', but with a different substance. Alcool maybe...! :)

 

To convey your theme better, I think you should have eaten more of it. Now, just 1 or 2 bites has been taken. No high from just this amount! But if you would have included references that a couple of those chocolate bars had been eaten, it would make you theme fit even better. Maybe a different angle, from lower on the side of the bar, and showing some tear down chocolate packaging in the background.

 

Aesthetically, I'm not sure about the shadow under the chocolate bar. It's curved nature does not match with the bar IMO.

My comment will be a bit aseptic, but I also think that you need a reference point to show that this is high. Right now, it is just a photo of the moon. Not much else to comment, maybe beside the fact that you should maybe try to remove the color noise.

Very nice one. I prefer the original versus the crop. The only thing that I like less, beside the fact that it is not mine, is the placement of walking guy versus the sign. I think that it could be improved by having the guy on the top left, of the sign on the top right. Now, they are simply too much in the same area.

I did play a little with this one to show you what I mean, how I see it. Hope you don't mind.

I do not really get the feeling of height here. To me, the crop should be tighter on the top, and have more space on the bottom. This would improve the feeling of height. It would also correct the fact that you slightly cropped the window. Either you show all of it, or you crop it much more.

 

Regarding the tint, I'm really not sure. I guess that you could have improved a little this aspect of your creation, maybe by doing some burning here and there.

Hum, Roger, seems like you broke your anonymity! Should log-in as PT when you reply on your own photo. But it's not a big deal.

 

I really like the look you achieved here. Just enough movement to guess it's a slow shutter, but not slow enough to give the 'classic' silky water effect.

 

The colors are really good also. I like the deepness and richness of it, specially on the vegetation on the top. Only the tree in the shadows I find distracting in this composition. It does, however, make the rock look less centered.

I do see that this is boats, and to me, it is easily recognizable.

 

I really like the abstract nature of it. Very nice color mix also. Finally, the composition is right as it should be, the layered portions being what I like most about it.

Very neat idea. I like that everything is B&W except the 'liquid' and the sign. On the other side, this very fact makes it look too much digital. Not that there is something wrong with this fact however. The texture of your liquid is not natural enough, and the distorted lines in the floor are maybe a little too much pronounced.

 

But I still like a lot the end result when I just look at the photo, not trying to analyse how it was done or how 'real' it look.

Some bubbles would be very good in this one! I tried to do some photo of my small fish, but too small they are to make something interesting. And they are even less collaborative than my cat! Not easy and ask for a lot of patience so good job on that PT.

 

I like the composition except for the green plant directly behind nemo. Maybe a little more green on the left and removing the plant on the top right would help. But overall, everything works well together, my suggestion being only some nitpicking.

Very nice one, but as others, the white corner is distracting me a lot. Your cropped version is better. I think I would like to see more of it. Wider and higher portion of grass would be welcome, to give a better sense of grandeur.

Ok, I had to try it lighter for myself. I did like Dominique version, but was not sure about the added sharpness and the little tweaking of the colors. For myself, I prefer it only lighter, with no other changes. All I did is to play with the levels (white slider to 190) and increase the contrast by +5, in Photoshop.

 

For my own tastes, this keeps the painting like feeling the best while allowing me to see more the 'details' of the photo.

This one I like a lot. Very nice abstract with a lot of qualities similar to a painting.

 

Nothing to comment on the technical aspect regarding the shutter speed, as I find it is perfect.

 

Only thing I find is that maybe it is a little dark, but I'm not sure if having it lighter would help it really.

Wow, those guys can stay still for a long time! I really like how they are placed. Kind of look like plunger, especially the right one. I guess they are plunging into dreamland! However, I don't really see it showing some hints of a slow shutter. I guess it is good in a sense, but it's maybe not the best subject for a motion less shot as slow shutter! The sharpness of this slow shutter shot is something you would like a lot in some night shot.

Same as Pnina here. The vegetation type suggest this is pretty low. I like the aesthetic of this photo but no theme fit. Your composition is excellent and I find that everything is in the right place.

Very well done PT. Seems you really like this theme! And I can understand it, with the good image you produce out of it.
