I hope I'm not treading on any super-skateboarding photo pro's when I say this, but I think this is the most beautiful skateboarding photograph I've ever seen

Nicely done

Any Critiques would be appreciated

Thanks

Haven't posted in a long while; I'd appreciate some feedback

Thanks

I'm a bit Porsche mad; so mine's an unashamedly biased view...

Great photo, but it do agree with the foreground crop.

No, I didn't ask for the shot. I had my camera on the table, and she asked me for a shot. I took a stream of about 4 or five images, and they were all boring shots. So I sat back and waited. She was laughing at her friend outside when I shot this.

I used 1600 ISO, f2.8, 1/90 (on Aperture Priority - which i use most)

I emailed her the photo, and she seems quite happy with it.

I'd love whatever comments people can think of, all are welcome.

Thanks

Meteora, this particular monestary is a favourite amoung photographers. This is one photograph of the place that is out of the ordinary - I have a feeling this will stick in my mind for a while.

Congrats on an very atmospheric original photograph.

Great tones and expression captured as always. You kept me waiting for this new photo :)

I see what she means by 'looks fast', something to do with the slant of the eyes... The hair blowing back is a nice addition

I feel perhaps the framing doesn't give a lot of 'looking space' to

the flower, or is that just a portraiture foible influencing my

reading of it?

Also I'm still getting the hang of this awesome macro lens, so what

do you think of the Depth of field?

Thanks

I would ask a furthur question: Is pornography not art? You see, art is a broad, nebulous term - it cannot be pinned down... Guess it comes down to personal opinion.

I think this is a good photo. There is something about it which lifts it from mainstream porn I think...

I'm surprised at how closely some people look at these - then again, maybe a trained eye picks up some things very quickly.

I'm very impressed with the lighting, works well on the face and shoulder. I think its a very good photo.

Last one of a cat! promise!

Please drop me some opinions, critiques etc. I'm still learning as

always.

Thanks

I finally got my 10D, and this killer macro lens. While not the most

original photo of a cat, it is slightly less often seen no?

What do you think?

Probably thought I had food for him...

What do you think?

I don't know about it being too dark - maybe i'm just a sucker for shadows, cause i like the fringe backlighting on the cub's head...

I like this shot a lot, i think a fill flash would have made it textbook standard.

I don't find it dark at all, maybe check your screen brightness?

I like the non-conventional cropping (lots of headroom). Its refreshing seeing something that doesn't conform rigidly to the 2/3rd's mumbo-jumbo. It definitely works here, kind of gives the head space some electricity.

Ignoring the content for a moment; I feel this is an excellent piece of art: It makes people talk. It enflames emotion, goes against the grain of some people. Controversy is often good, like a democratic opposition-party for the mind.

As a footnote, is it really so wrong? It almost certainly was not exploitatively shot. We no longer live in a victorian society...
