    At the gate

    I wouldn't CROP the hand out, I'd clone it out. I think cropping might affect the balance negatively for my taste :-). However, an excellent shot (and I *like* a smiling face :-D).
  1. Jane, what a great comment. I have never been able to figure out why beauty can't be found in all body parts (and in answer to if the sexes were reversed and this were male, MY rating would depend on the composition of the shot). Porn? One of these days I'm going to start posting links to porn so that some of some people can start to figure out the difference. Aesthetically, I'm gonna give this a 5 (I like a lot of your shots better). Originality? Also a 6 (lighting is good, shadows are interesting, positioning in the upper left corner is interesting...but mostly, that you saw beauty and had the courage to shoot it, where as most people would chicken out).

    Pedro, I love this! I always have looked for a shot like this, but never seem to find one. The colors loog good enough to eat (stir fried chairs :-D). The composition is also fantastic.
  2. Yeah!!!! I definitely like this one better than the B&W! I especially like the washed out color of the buckets and baskets, it really captures the reality of the scene (and one I see every copuple of days in Taiwan). Her FACE though, is fantastic!

    I completely disagree, I *think* I would much prefer this shot in color (seeing similar scenes 2-3 times a week for 10 years, lol). I think the color would bring out a vibrancy in the shot and give the woman with the wonderful face a more immediate context (just my opinion and what I woulda done, but I REALLY like the shot, even in black and white).

    What's with the low rating average? I like this shot (admitedly not an Ansel Adams, but for my taste this shot is very enjoyable). The first thing I see is a wet dog (and one who seems quite happy being wet), then my eye tries to focus on the woman out of focus in the background. It is an interesting contrast, eye drawn to the foreground, but wanting to see the background.

    What a fascinating shot! I like the selective focus (one of these lifetimes, I want to learn more about it, maybe not to do it, but just to understand how it is done :-)). I have a feeling that you've captured the personality very well.

    Composition -63-

    Great composition and feel to this, especially for those of us who haven't had lunch yet (and who are several thousand kilometers from a really good bakery). The details in the wood, the flour really make this image for me :-).

    Stuart, what exactly is "natural" about any "pose?" The vibrant colors in the pants contrasting with the dark greens is one thing. The lines and shadows of the nude is another. What I really liked was the color and the initial impact (I'm not very good at analyzing WHAT or WHY I like many shots, I just *do*, simple as that).

    I like all of your shots. I don't find many people whose work pulls me in and who I feel compelled to do a "rate folder." I'm especially fond of a couple of your black and whites, very good work :-).
