The juxtaposition of the Buddha (is it?) and the gas pump is intersting and cute. The bicycle on the back adds some depth to the shot. Well done.

I wouldn't have noticed the rotation if you didn't mention.

I like the pattern of leaves (altough broken on the right), and the pleasing gray tones: they almost look metallic.

Thanks for comments and suggestions for improvement.

Ray, Juan, JS,

thanks for your kind comments. I appreciate your encouragment.

This is from the second roll I've ever developed. Shot on a rainy day.

This is a chain to tie the boats to. Shot at sunset, with no filters

and no color correction in postprocessing.

 

Thanks for your ratings and/or comments.

What Jeff said. Good subject, a few technical imperfections.

You didn't need to sign this "in calce", as we say here in Italy. This is so obviously yours!

Good to see some new work, hope to find some time to look (and learn).

Feel free to express your rating and opinions, good or bad :)

Thank you for comments and suggestions. PLEASE VIEW LARGE :)

Interesting story and great shot here. I also think that this shot owes a lot to the pattern on the cover of the bed: one of the few parts which is not completely black or white.

Please feel free to express any critique about this!

It would be interesting to know how long did this exposure last to get such a still water. Also, did you use and filter here (blue maybe?) to get both the sea and sky so light? Beautiful shot indeed.

Beautiful composition, well seen. The colours and the light in general are maybe not as compelling as the design.

Beautiful colours as usual from you. Not sure about the long shadow of the tree crossing the sidewalk, in my eye it spoils a bit the quiet of the scene with some added tension (unless this was what you were after...).

Pernilla, IMHO is just a short way to say "in my humble opinion". Internet jargon to express that this is only my personal point of view, of a hobbist/amateur :)

 

I think this shot deserves all the attentions, since it's clever and stands out from the cliche images which we've been seeing (and producing, myself included!) on photo.net much too often. Brava!

There's so much tension in this shot. One of the best seen recently IMHO.

I think the composition is not compelling enough to draw the attention of the viewer.

Michele, se ricordo bene il gatto era di un colore grigio molto scuro, vicino al nero. Per quanto riguarda il contrasto, l'ho sicuramente accresciuto rispetto allo scan originale e sono contento cosi' soprattutto per i toni morbidi della texture nel legno.

Sergei,

 

thank you for your kind comment. Actually this is a stray cat, so I don't think he/she has an "official name". There're several stray cats in the small harbour of this village, and they particularly enjoy taking naps on top of the boats in the afternoon.

One of your best. I especially like the diagonal structure and the way it is functional to the contrast between the fast-paced, easy going woman on the left and the other sitting alone on the stairs.

I like the contrast between the way of life shown here.

Lovely shot. I just wish the people on the top left corner were less visible, in such a way that they do not distract the viewer from the painter and his canvas.

Stephen, Marc,

thanks for your feedback.

This is a small experiment of mine, and I somehow was afraid that this rotation would have been too extreme and "uncomfortable" to look at. But the response seems to be positive.

Kjeld, as specified in the Technical Details, this has been rotated. I chose this rotation to give some more dynamic to this shot.
