Got eye level with the water (as close as I could without being in the water)

and shot. Thought the sky and water sort of mimicked each other.

Hugh thank you for your comment. I took out the slide and I do have more detail in the trees. I do need more, actually any, photoshop training. I am not even sure that I did the border on this correctly, but we all have to start somewhere. Thank you for the border idea. And your photos are looking great.

I like this as one of your mos subtle and perhaps best image that I have seen of yours. Unfortunately subtle usually means overlooked here. May not have the "Wow" factor, but I think it has the components and attention to detail that could make it a commercially succesful image.

Border makes it really pop. Thank you Hugh.

I just looked at Rene's photo. You evidently rated it frequently as well as viewed it frequently. It is humbling to look at such a photo. Excuse me while I go give aways my cameras.

Being relatively new to photo.net I was not familiar with Mr. Asmussen's work, so I checked it out and he has some great stuff. In the works of his that utilized angles his horizon lines appeared straight, so maybe you are on to a whole new concept here, then I thought maybe you could manipulate this photo so that the clouds remain horizontal and everything else at the diagonal? Might be interesting. Anyway I enjoy your postings. Your perspectives make me stop and think, but I have a lot to learn before I can even attempt what you make look simple.

Attractive girl, good lighting, but has a tower growing out of her head.

I adjusted the level and brightness/contrast any better?

Bernard,

This is gorgeous. Made me sit up and say wow. I don't want to analyze what it is just go with my instant reaction. Great.

November 21, 2003

Just one of millions but I like them

November 21, 2003

Thank you for the complement Bernard. Still a beginner with Photoshop. Started posting images before I read the book so I don't know how to fix just the sky yet. I am sure it would be simple for someone with your talent.

Too little of the peony is sharp. Looks like only the right edge. Also the image is too large to be viewed all at once.

I am glad to see you have posted a critique request. IMO in this format i had to geuss at what the whale's tail was before I saw your request. I am not sure that the shading on the rocks is correct, but perhaps someone better schooled than I in Photoshop will be able to better direct you. Love the photo. Like the cat more though.

Have some lens reflections that I am getting split reactions to on the printed

photograph. I sort of like them here because they don't seem overpowering to

me. Any thoughts?

Good light and composition. You could play with the cropping to see if there are parts that can be left out. IMO the strength of this photo is the color of the field the buildings and the clouds.

Very lonely and cold feeling to this photo. A beautiful place that gives the idea that you can only be in love with nature to be happy here. Great photo.

I Can't believe that this is the same photo I commented on two days ago. 100% improvement The eye now moves naturally to the windmill and the sun and clouds playing in the background is great. I don't even remember that from my first viewing. I have to improve my photoshop skills to half of what yours are. Great job. The rest of your folder is great also. You will get quite a bit of exposure on photo.net. I have noticed that on the photos I have viewed you did not request a critique. As a non-subscriber you can post 4 critiques in a seven day period and not more than 1 in a 24 hour period. You will get increased ratings and viewings by asking for a critique. Good Luck.

I am awestruck by the power and delicacy of this image. The background is incredible. Great job.

November 17, 2003

Very nice. The reflection in the store window adds, but I'm not sure about the 20% off signs above. I think the signs are okay for stopping the eyes from wandering off above, but I'd rather not be able to read it. Really just being picky about a very good photograph.

November 16, 2003

Good composition and mood. Looks like a great place to be.

The technical information is amazing, I don't shoot a digital camera yet, but that must all get recorded with the image? Really helpful in looking at ways to improve. I believe this is Somesville, ME and their wonderful bridge and reflecting pool. The reflections are working well. From the technical information I might have opted for a slower shutter speed and smaller aperture like in the f11 to f16 range to increase your depth of field. Nice composition.

November 16, 2003

Nice idea trying to go from a starkness to a dreamlike state. I think that the contrast from one into the other needs to be greater to fully get your idea across. Compositionally this is very nice and IMO the image would be nice either manipulated or unmanipulated.

Bernard, I noticed that you have recently joined photo.net. You will like it and it will frustrate you at the same time. It is important to know that there is only one full time employee of photo.net and everyone else here just loves showing their photographs and hopefully you can get some to share their knowledge. One of the things that people like when viewing a photo is to be able to see it all at once. You should try for file size around 100k or less and pixels 800 x 600 or less. If you use a MAC use the "save for web" feature or you blow out the ability to see the graphic of the windows users. On your photo I love the colors and composition, but wish that the building was a little more picturesque to go with the rest of the setting. Nice job.

There were too many people trying to take photographs of the waterfalls this

was beside, so I had to find a way to kill time. What do you think?

November 15, 2003

The composition is very nice, but the lanterns lead ny eye into the right hand side of the photo. the sun is very hot so my eyes don't want to look at it. Your other photo is good, but I don't think I can make a judgement on the filter differences because the light with only half the sun above the horizon is different from the light of the full sun here. Both pictures have good sky colors.
