Thanks for your comments!

Lovely contrast between the foreground and the background. I like the hand on the coffee mug. Great shot!

This is a Palestinian village just outside the wall of Jerusalem.

Would a shallower depth of field or a longer exposure help? I get a bit lost between the background and the foreground.

To me this picture lacks a focus: it's not clear why the photographer found the scene interesting, or what he was trying to communicate. The pattern of chairs, while promising, is a bit vague and is undone by the background.

That was the thought -- to refer to nature while showing the city. It's interesting that both the city and nature are implicit in the shot.

 

Thanks for the comments!

 

Any idea why the aesthetics scores are consistently lower than the originality?

Comments? suggestions for improvement?

I was amazed by how many people sleep on Japanese trains.

I wonder what these Palestinian kids are up to now, five years after

the picture was taken. I wonder if I could take the same picture now.

 

Comments, critique?

 

Thanks!

I shot this on the street in Manhattan, but I suppose it could have

been in any city or town, any time in the last 100 years.

Snapped this in Kamakura, one of the ancient capitals of Japan.

Yes, the bottom part is a reflection off a tilted window. It only opened about 30 degrees, but that was enough for me to stick my head & camera out & take the shot. The gray line in the middle is the (out of focus) bottom of the window pane, which I used to cover up the street as much as possible.

Comments? Suggestions? Does the blown-out sky bother you?

This might be interesting in black and white. Might bring out the contrasty texture of the buildings. It's an interesting composition.

I really like the mood & the tones

It's a nice idea -- Could you have waited till the first dog got past the tree? (Or shot before he got there?)

I took this shot on a foggy morning at a friend's house. Comments?

Critique? (I don't do landscapes that much -- suggestions welcome!)

 

Thanks!

I like how his arm leads you away from the face, but the face draws you back. Good work!
