Thanks for looking - honest comments are appreciated - maybe not

agreed with but still appreciated. :-)

Feeling like spring these Cone Flowers were shyly calling to me - look

look at me!

OK OK OK - I will say that I'm not "in love" with this image - with THAT said, every single FREAKING time I'm paging down this image stops me in my tracks and I need to look at it.

I CURSE YOU!! LOL . . . . . FINE! well done!

 

I had this idea stuck in my head and I'm not sure if I should continue

this theme or scrap it. My goal is to have an outside "frame" in one

effect so it's almost like a window. I like it but . . .do others?

Give up? Continue? Honest comments welcome and I take nothing

personally.

I love the look and feel of this style you have achieved. I bet this is fantastic printed and very large. I hope you put this on canvas at some point! Bravo! I'm giving you 7/7 because I like the originally and if I was not a photographer I would purchase something like this.

Johnny - where ya been -!!! Missing your images! Rod

See - this one is great!! You? It's unique and tells another story . . .oddly beer seems to be involved again! :-)

I gave 3's. While I really love your portraits and many of your other styles I'm not a fan of your out of focus work. I ask . . .why?? They make my eyes hurt as they try to focus and for me a photo should always tell a story. This story seems to say "I have had a lot of beer and accidentally clicked the shutter. NOT that that would be a bad thing but . . . it's why I gave 3s.

'

Let me reiterate - I love your other work.

This would be a perfect Valentines Day card - nice capture!

this was taken with a 1 meg camera and in order for me to make it

larger and not pixelate beyond recognition I had to put some effects

on it.

I gotta say - I an SO SICK of water drops, I mean people give up the water drops. With that said - THIS one is different. nice job!

This seemed to beg black and white. I hope you appreciate it.

Gritty and Stark - sounds like a country band.

 

I wanted a gritty stark feeling for this lone oak in the country.

thanks for looking

Just as I got into position it started to rain AGAIN. You can see the

drops in the water. Thanks for looking.

Very nice portrait and soft colored fram is nice (did you know that bu adding a frame your avg rating increases by 0.3?)

Very nice technique - on a side note a frame will, on average, give you 0.4 higher ratings.

II really like this shot, well done and nice find!!

I love the look/feel - excellent.

I loved the way the snow formed on the.

Very nice Les - IF you or anybody knows what those are . . . . . . I have a wall like that that needs filling in. Those kinds of walls are hard.

I've used this set-up on car photos - excellent - I love the colors, tilting of the head (I would like to see a smile shot). The lipstick and sweater are a perfect match! If I MUST fine something off it would be the extra area on the top of the photo. just a little to much!

The guy seemed real curious on what I was doing - a real poser.

I like this - the one thing I would do is crop out more the the sky - ther ei sa very light streak about halfway up, I would cut off what is above it as it would put more focus on the tracks! Welcome to photo.net! Rod

WOW - I'm giving your 7's maybe not for THIS image but your work in it's entirety.

The key that makes this photo worthy is the lamp! Without that lamp it is a nice photo but not a big deal. The lamp is the star and forces the eye down to the woman then to the right until it hits that "arrow" which points the eye up to the pastel clouds and then since you eye is now moving left to the building and down again!. I did not read all the comments but I think the composition, lighting, cropping, the shadow, EVERYTHING is excellent.</p>
Andrews cropping gives me a feeling of claustrophobia and enclosed and I feel very uncomfortable looking at it. My eye's quickly look for safety but find nothing. My eyes just sit looking for SOMETHING interesting and are stagnant. I look away in boredom.
