Thanks in advance for comments!

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I think it's one of those cases where it's kind of ambiguous as to whether not it should be viewed in an abstract way. I.e., a little to real to be abstract and a little to abstract to be taken literally. I don't think I'd hang it on my wall either, but it was a fun exercise :-) Thanks again for the comments!

Nice idea - I particularly like the "drain" effect of the window shape.

Err... I mean lemonade from lemons! :-)

An attempt at making lemons from lemonade! Thanks in advance for

comments.

Quite beautiful... I can almost feel the air getting thing!

 

Very nice - I like the contrasting colors as well as the various vertical axes, all a little bit askew in a way that makes the photo lively - in keeping with the subject matter.

Nothing to add - ran across this while looking at Christmas lights.

This is really, really nice. Colors, composition, texture, humor - the whole nine yards. Great job.

Great shot. The isolation and grain really seem to contribute to the sensuous nature of this photo.

Very, very nice. The compositional elements bring a very nice movement to this photo. Attached FYI is a photo I recently took that is a different take on a similar idea, but not nearly as successful :-)

Thanks in advance for comments!

Nice shot, really like the gentle tones of this photo - they compliment the subject well.

Thanks in advance for comments!

Really like the stark simplicity. I'd burn in the lower part of the arm a little, though. Nice shadows on the hands, and I like how the needles jump out. I might have left a smidge more space with the cropping. I'm not sure if I understand the technique you reference... is this a contact print of a transparency?

Cranked the contrast on this tidal photo and decided I liked it

better somewhat abstracted... thanks in advance for comments!

Here's the requested B&W version - thanks in advance for comments!

Thanks so much for the comments Here is my first crack at a B&W version.

Fairly drasting cropping on this one - hopefully it at least holds

up for web purposes :-). Thanks for comments!

Kind of a neat effect - what accounts for the cirular piece? As a nitpick I'd try to make the dark part of the left side equal to that of the right. Original idea!

Mostly an exercise in playing with curves. I was going after

that "pasted on" look of the trees... not sure to what extent it

results in a pleasing image, but I had fun.

Jean, evidently from much of the feedback you'll have to take the photo in a less optimal light next time so the green isn't "oversaturated." :-) The oversaturation thing is an easy assumption to make, I suppose, for those never having been blessed with seeing something this vivid in real life... especially if they didn't browse your previous comments. Great shot.

I hope you got a model release from that fish...

IMHO this photo is *all* about the light, which I think is absolutely wonderful. The subject matter for me is a distant, vaguely comical afterthought. Sadly, my toilet photo missed out on the adulation (snif,) but maybe in the wake of Johannes and Duchamp it might mean I'm destined for greatness :-). Very nice work, Johannes!

Nice contrast between the foreground detail and the gradual onset of the fog.
