...for your kind words.  It was definitely an unplanned moment, but so far, one of my better portraits, I think.

Any comments would be gratefully accepted.

...it might even have been worth a BROKEN toe!

Great shot, great colors well framed.

The image conveys a sense of the impending storm and the loneliness it sometimes brings. I like the lighting and the contrast and texture in the image.

Great work!

I appreciate the compliment!

Comments, suggestions and honest critiques welcome!

Very good job with the post processing. I like the gritty, sullen feel of this image. The colors are great. 

 

Just curious, is this the same plant that figured prominently on a Pink Floyd Album Cover in the 1980's? 

...but I think it would have more impact if you adjusted the exposure and bumped the color just a little. 

 

I took the liberty of tweaking those just a little to show what I mean.

...sharp, well lit, with a great feel to it. 

I love the colors and the sense of fluid motion it conveys.

 

I can't help wondering, though if it's all "real" or if it's "enhanced". Either way, it's a great image and very well done.

I think your adjustments and the image itself are "spot on". And while possibly not "right" in every situation, it certainly works in this case.

 

Keep up the good work.

The color "bump" gives it the feel of a hand-painted post card from the 20's or 30's.

 

The only suggestion I can offer is that this shot would look so much more authentic if the power lines can be eliminated.

 

Either way, it's a great shot

A very expressive shot...but the curb should go. :-)

I've been to Rothenburg and seen this house many times, but never thought to shoot it like this. This is one of the best shots I've ever seen of the city. It truly conveys the feel of that wonderful city.

I'm jealous that you got to go aboard...it's been a lifelong dream of mine.

 

Nice shot, by the way.

a lovely model, well lit and framed wnderfully. The texture of the skin is great. Very nice image.

Trying to bring out the lines and angles...any helpful critiques would

be appreciated

That's about all I can say...WoW!

 

Great shot!

and you capture the feel of the beach very well.

 

The only criticism I have is that the model's head seems "odd"...I'm not sure exactly what it is, but the combination of her hair, the distortion of the wider angle lens and the jutting chin make her head look too large for her body....not that I could do any better, just thought it might be helpful.

 

BTW, I think you have a great portfolio - vibrant colors and well framed, interesting subjects. You definitely hav "the eye".

but I'm definitely not the most "subtle" guy, Samrat...other than the obvious "there's a painting as the central focus of the image", I can't think of any other reason to title it as you have.

 

Sorry.

What great colors. This image really shows what can be done with macro photography.

The lighting is wonderful, the model's expression is great and the subtle nudity makes this a wonderful image.

...that I know what this is...but I'm not 100% sure.

 

Even if I'm wrong, though, this is a truly unique view of an "everyday" object. Wonderful perspective.

I'm guessing Stewie only lays there when it's most inconvenient for you? :-)

 

Cute picture

I posted a similar shot to my portfolio. Thought you might be interested. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2304260&size=lg
