Thanks for your comments, Andy. The doubles were filled with Nitrox 25 and the deco bottle had 50% oxygen.

Don, you have to ask yourself two questions: 1. Is this the best comment I can come up with? 2. Am I able to dispense with patronizing remarks and, instead, offer an intelligent and productive analysis?

Excellent. Good sense of height due to the other mountains in the background. The composition itself I think is perfect. The climbers are well positioned within the frame. The sky and the background puts everything into context. As to the quality, there is grain, and I'm not too sure about using Gold 100 to start with, but even with scanning my Fuji Reala(100) I also get grain sometimes. Although negative film has greater exposure latitude, from my personal experience I get the best results when I scan slides (Fuji Provia, Velvia). However, these are more expensive to buy, you have to get the right exposure while shooting, and you need a good lab to get them developed professionally, which is also more expensive than the "regular" negative processing. We lead a difficult life.

Very apt title and very peaceful atmosphere. Well done. -
Outstanding. -
It wasn't, and if you consider the setting you may realize that there was no need to add a flame artificially. I realize, however, that although we've seen many photos that combine BW with colour, our basic conception perceives a photo to be either one, or the other, but not together. So, having a BW photo with some parts added in colour, perhaps makes those parts appear alien. Overall, I'm not too fond of BW and colour combinations, but sometimes they can create a nice effect if they highlight central elements of the image. In this workshop the fire is a central element and keeping the flame in colour underlines that. This also takes the emphasis away from the nudity. The juxtaposition of nudity with the harsh environment of metal and fire highlights the delicateness of the female body, and it simply adds a humorous touch to the scene.

I do, but the bug puts the element of nudity into a more humorous context, which appealed to me. -
I'm still working on how to combine the two, but for some reason not too many models are ready to take the plunge. -
Thank you for your productive comments, so far. I must agree with most of what has been said here. The harsh midday sun combined with the dark skin tone created conditions that were far from ideal. Nonetheless, I didn't want to miss this portrait and I preferred this backlit option to a front lit one with the sun in the warrior's face. This way you still get all the details on his face and his elaborate ornaments without the harsh shadows. The background doesn't play a very important role here so I didn't mind it being overexposed. -
Great capture!

Almost long enough for me... -
It was for me, because I never took a portrait of a Thai girl before, so I guess everything is relative. But after all, nothing is really original. Whatever photo you're going to come up with, someone has probably already done it before, perhaps with slight variations. How original does something have to be to qualify as "original"?

Although there are hardly any details, the "spideriness" comes across very well. Good composition and nice tones. The fact that there are no details perhaps also contributes an air of mystery to this photo. -

Exceptionally beautiful. -

Although Africans frequently pose for tourists, this young warrior apparently seemed very
proud of his status and this, I think, is evident also in his pose which carries a certain
sense of dignity.

Yes, we were there together, shooting at the same time and yet, each photo came out differently. I think its nice to see different versions of the same subject.
