Sorry I forgot to initialize that option. I am not interested in ratings, I can't cash it anywhere ;). I prefer to hear critique and your thoughts on the image and any way to improve it.

Thanks.

An old phaeton at the Livery at the ghost town of Bodie, California.

Remains of a car at a ghost town in California. I used selective

focusing to isolate the chrome grill.

Well conceived and shot. Original and I like this one.

Well conceived and exposed black&white photo. I am inspired.

Beautiful work. I love the composition, lighting and expression of the subject.

Very interesting framing and shot. I think for the sequence to be meaningful, the middle shot should be to the left and the left one in the middle. Great work.

A lonesome Nevada desert under some overbearing storm clouds.

Soft light bathe the calcium carbonate pinnacles of ancient Lake

Searles in Southern California. These formations are also known as

the Cathedral City. Pano cropped from a 4x5 transparency.

Great shot Buck. Reminds me of the Galen Rowell shot of the same place. What a tribute!

There are some merits in the composition but quite mediocre in the end like a poorly finished digital art. I think there is a lot of disparity in the density of dust from foreground to background. They seem to be overly manipulated and doesn't convey natural distance attenuation well. It feels like some of the dust is added with a airbrush or un-naturally enhanced.

Shot on TMax100, Tritoned in PhotoShop.

Thank you Joel, I noticed it too. Seems like a misaligned scanner head. I will have to rescan this one.

Shot as the first rays of light hit the Tufa formations at Mono Lake,

California. A mistekenly left on 81B filter rendered the image warmer

and slightly under exposed.

A very good example of a pinhole shot. Now, how did you get it to be sharp? I have the same camera, I have not managed to get anything relatively sharp with it yet.

What a beautiful lush place this is. And very well captured. Hope one day I get the chance to photograph Sikkim and the Himalayan foothills.

Another photograph that I really like.

Beautiful body of work here. I like the Polaroid transfers and amongst them this is my favorite. Fantastic.

That's a beautiful shot.

A great candid shot. But I don't understand the statement about them being able to ignore the camera. This gent is looking straight at it, isn't he?

This sculpture is pretty cool. Wish the DOF was shallow enough to isolate it from the busy background.

To echo Peter's words, it IS one heck of a pool. And it looks like a.............GUITAR. :)

I was invited by a friend to shoot the Bradbury Building last

weekend. This architectural gem of warm sandstone and cast-iron

filigree was a visual splendour, bathed in soft light from the glass

ceiling. Built in 1893 in downtown Los Angeles by mining tycoon Louis

Bradbury, it has been featured in quite a number of films like Blade

Runner, D.O.A,, Double Indemnity etc. In Blade Runner, there was a

very moody shot of the interior as a young Darryl Hannah enters the

building while the blimp could be seen through the atrium glass

ceiling overhead. When I got to the 4th floor, I remembered the

hallway and the unique design of the cast iron work. Anyway, I was

too overwhelmed to have done the place justice and will have to go

back to shoot again, with more care, another day. This was my first

serious attempt at architectural photography with LF and I think I

did badly.

 

Shot in Large Format with Schneider 80mm SS lens. F/22 @ 1 second.

Simanta, you have captured a beautiful moment in the most appropriate palette. It's solitude to the brim.

It's a good attempt in capturing a solemn mood, even though the caption says End of Winter. Sorry about the Cokin ND grad mishap. It did not turn out to be a happy accident. Perhaps you can selectively color correct the magenta cast in the sky and show a little less of the sky. The image is very nice otherwise. I like the limited palette of the bottom half a lot.
