Another attempt to create "art" from something I don't really like,

barbed-wire. I think I like this perspective a bit more than my

previous barbed-wire view. Comments welcomed. Thanks!

In my monitor I'm seeing some colored horizontal bands in this image, especially visible over the tree on the right side. A scanner problem, perhaps?

Isn't that VR on your lens sweet? I'm assuming this photo was held-held at 1/40th. To make it a clearer image, I would still go with the tripod, lower the ISO and up the F stop for more depth of field. And don't be afraid to use some digital sharpening, if not already done. Most people tend to over do it, but here, more would help.

You could have called this "Hidden Island" ...

I remember 1970 - thanks for reminding me how old I am!

A classic view - nice clarity and contrast, nicely done.

January 16, 2004

Simple but Interesting - I would enjoy it a little bit larger, and I wonder how it would look with the levels brought up a touch?

January 16, 2004

A good image, but with either inadequate lighting on the subject or the levels are too low? You did manage to capture all the detail in the white, which is commendable.

This image has potential; what I don't care for here is the low lighting and general softness, and the color tone. Perhaps try it with the background further removed? The bright background and shadow completely distract my eye from the forground image.

If not for that nasty tangle of brush on the right, I'd bet this was a very nice shot. The building ans sky colors are very nice and it looks like good lighting.

Max, this has nice sharp petals, but the significant blur to the front of the flower stands in such contrast to the sharpness? It seems to give me the feeling that I'm too close to the flower and I need to put on my reading glasses...

I like this image - I like boats. I think you could bring the levels up just a smidge to give the dark shadows a litte more detail. And as I've mentioned elswhere your logo on the image is not working for me at all.

Ryan, This image in LARGE size is 5997 x 4141 pixels. Since my 20 inch monitor is displaying only 1280 x 1024 pixels, I would need about a 90 inch monitor to view your lovely plumerias. As it is, all I see are a few millimeters of leaf vein.

A small child wandering off into the blurry unknown - is it beautiful, or is it tragic? This image is rather plain looking, but is loaded with emotional possibilities. I'm torn on how to rate it, as I don't find it attractive, yet it is compelling...

January 15, 2004

Oh, you're making, me hungry, and it will be 6 more months before I have any of these again from the garden! Nicely done!

Verklaerte nacht=cloudy night, I believe? Disturbing image. I like it!

January 14, 2004

I would really love to see this image scaled down to a decent size - it looks like a good, interesting photo. It's just so large I cant see most of it on my screen. For my vertically oriented photos like this I scale them down to a height of 768 pixels before submitting them, and that seems to work well.

Nice perspective on "The Eye".

January 14, 2004

One wonders what were you thinking when you posted this? Perhaps you inadvertently uploaded the wrong file?

This is an actual view of a snow-covered hillside on a grey winter day in the pacific northwest. I removed the top of a power pole in the bottom center of the picture, and also some small grass clumps on the right side, and played with the levels and contrast a bit. Thanks - Cecil
