    Oops, not sure why I insisted on calling you "Richard" in the previous email - sorry! I also added the color version just for grins - click here to see it. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the insightful comments, I really appreciate them. It does kind of look like a photo that was taken out of the developer tray too early :-) Although I captured exactly what I was intending (very unusual for me) it's tough for me to view in a completely objective context after the fact. And from that standpoint, I agree with your comments. Thanks again!
  1. Yes, but does National Geographic ask you how you got a given photo, or for them do the photos speak for themselves? My guess is that, as long as the baiting wasn't obvious, they wouldn't care.
  2. Very nice - I think the shadow serves to bridge the two tonal areas quite nicely. For me there's kind of an interesting puzzle effect happening too - the shadow looks in some ways more like a silhouette... and I can't decide if the stones are the side of the building or the street.

    Great job - for me this one stands out because it's almost like the fly is gesturing... expressing almost a personality. Technically impressive as well.

    Wow, very nice depth of field management as well as background/forground color contrast. Hard to make subject matter like this come off as original, but I think you've done it!

    Very nice - to a certain extent, the lines are similar to the photo of mine you were nice enough to comment on (here.) How the trees are juxtaposed with those arches is really striking.
  3. Nice job, I love the compact cropping in conjunction with the heavy black frame. Might be my monitor, but it looks like the forground foilage is a little out of focus. To get it in focus would probably pose a host of other technical problems, but it might be worth the effort if you like the idea.

    I second Didi's comment - and I very much like the overall color as well. I think the black frame is a little heavy, though - if it were me, I'd back it off a few pixels. Nice job.

    Good job - can't help but think of this as a face, but maybe that's just me. The tonal range is handled such that the highlights in the wood have a luminescence about them that is really nice.

    A photo from way back in my college days. Please excuse the tiny

    size - I was unable to locate my original scan and negative, but

    hopefully there's enough there for you to get the idea.

     

    Thanks in advance for any comments!

    I think the tilt effect is super. Your work makes me wish I had the resources (but more importantly the patience) to do view camera work. Great job!
  4. Just a wonderful photo. The topography of the paint/rust really provides for almost unlimited exploration on the part of the viewer - yet the whole thing comes off as organized as well. Ironically, I just did a rust shot the other day that obviously isn't in the same league as this one. I found myself having to introduce external elements to make it interesting, but you managed to take the elements you were given and make them work. Great job!
