I like this one best...;)...J

A field full of flowers and no color...:(...J

Where is the shadow coming from that is in her lap? Strange... but Yes I Would agree with Darko and add WHat warm tones and lovely expression...;)...J

 

Don't worry, some poeple don't get it and that's ok... I offer this to you(see photo), if you will forgive some posterization from an old 8x10 that I scanned recently, as proof that I 'get it'...;)...J

I can understand the stark lonely feel of this photo...thanx...;)...J

The angle seems to be off just alittle (ie Richards comment)Moving the shot to the left so that the foreground center rock is lined with the similar one in the background. Still; a beautiful shot...;...J

Thank you for the grain...;)...J

 

See above....;)...J

I would like to see the top of your head and the sliver of your shoe left out of your composition...;)...J

love the light, lines and shadows...;)...J

Thank you NP...all is wonderful here...diffused glow on face and arm only with slight cropping.

An intense gathering I gather...;)...J

I actually like the grain....;)...J

 

Third of my "Fry Street" images...this is Damian taking off...

Thank you for your time....;)...J

Thank you for capturing the entire arch but so much floor with too much doesn't work for me...may be another time of day...if you're facing n/ne I would suggest just as the crests the roof and falls into the room....maybe...;)...J

Beatles good, song fair, picture nice,

And the blues compliment the overall photo...

excellent smile makes up for no feet...;)...J

Really nice Portraits Joseph I love this style of b&w ...;)...J

This is the second of my "Fry Street" images. I also offer this as a

sample of Postmodern Photography...Do you concur? ...;)...J

All about curves. It is probably agood thing that I didn't do this one as I would have photoshoped a new background...;) Lovely...J

This is what I enjoy in Portraiture ...Very nice...;)...J

Each time I look at this portrait of young love I imagine that the

woman can't help but feel secure while embrace in this mans arms...

in addition; the gaze expressed by the man has the look of

confidant & Protector...

Thank you for your time ;)...J

But Kurt in the world of realism this is the definition of picturesque...Wonderful Image...;)...J

Thank You so much for your words. Although I humbly disagree about the efects...This poor photo went through a multitude of looks before ending as this, this unusual look...I have attached a sample...the large photo is the original and as you can see it is quite out of focus and not framed well at all...I was going to dismiss it and send it to the bottom of the digipile but the look on Xaviera's face kept haunting me, seemingly saying, "Use this one daddy". I looked at her mother for the ok to discard the photo but found no such permission in her face. The tonality and expression on the mothers face lent itself to the frame I then began to see the possibilities inside this throwaway...after some pain at sharpening then softening and playing with light and texture it wasn't until I ran accross the botttom middle frame that I new where this one had to go...So in other words; the texture and light and crop and every line is there at my behest. I love the way the eyes are pronounced and surreal~ lips are full~ the texture lines break up the heavy contrast and keep the high keys from blowing out. Again, Although I disagree, I thank you for your time to comment it is most useful even if it only serves to force me to articulate what is good about a particular piece...;)...J

Mother and daughter portrait that reminds me of Mona Lisa.

I found this photo thanx to Darko Kordovan's list of favorites, this photograph works on so many levels... curiosity of children, how much we like "things", learning,etc yes and colour and form as well...Really Good Job...;)...J
