your thoughts please.

no perfect category for this, so i'll put it here. any thoughts?

on a wall in victor, colorado. your time is appreciated.

ellen, first, thanks for stopping by my portfolio and leaving a few comments.

I came to your folder and looked through all your photos, and viewed "large" perhaps a half dozen of them, and this was one of them. The thumbnail image drew my interest, and i think you've done a very nice job, specifically since you broke some of those photographic rules (centering your subject and leaving him relatively small). I think this adds to the feeling of being lost inside a tangled mess, which i'm betting, was the whole point. a tighter zoom, a different crop wouldn't have accomplished that.

Ratings can be frustrating, and a 7/7 is a higher rating than i would award. But there are plenty of unexplained 2's and 3's to go around, too. I'd like to say more, but there's no use in stirring up a hornet's nest, that clearly (after 4 months) is still buzzing. Life is just too short to worry about such things.

BTW, the only problem I have with the photo is the one leaf that covers part of the cat's face. Not much you can do about that, though.

Thanks again, -daniel

your time is appreciated.

something very different from the normal mono lake shots... powerful and dramatic... very nice.

the black ones are scary...

kim & kim... thanks for the discussion on quadtones... i've learned something new! btw, beautiful photo, my cats always look sleepy--are you giving yours some of that caffinated water?

your time is appreciated.

yeah the sky is a little boring... you could easily crop it some... which would also move the horizon from the middle of the frame. otherwise i like it!

what a great tree! I think you could improve the shot with a slight crop on the right... as it is now, it's off center, but not quite enough (at least to me). You might also benefit from adjusting the levels a bit. hope that helps!

i might have liked to see a tighter zoom on the mountain, but this works too... what a great sky!

your time and thoughts are appreciated.

also see the color version... your thoughts are appreciated.

another in my sponge series. thank you for your time.

it's like you're looking out into someone's dream. where is this? very nice.

well, since you begged :-)

the mountain looks a bit hazy, i think because of the lighting situation. a different time of day might be better. the clouds are great. i think i'd either crop out or remove the tree branch on the right side, the one that's detatched from the rest of the tree. you have some great mountain and nature photos in your folder... montana is on my list of places to visit and photograph... and i can't wait!

great picture, the sky is incredible... and i love the mcdonald's--it brings you back to reality.

... now i just need to get all the sand out of my camera. Your time

is appreciated...

thanks jason. the window, the shadow, and the dirt road all lined up nicely on this one... a rare occurrence when all the elements cooperate!

i totally agree. I took this one before I knew what I was doing, and before I had a dslr. maybe i'll be back there someday.

your time is appreciated.

thanks todd. i wish the boat's name showed up a bit better. this old boat was the most interesting thing i saw on a day-long trip up fla's northwest coast. oh well......

nino, i think that's an artifact of my b/w conversion, as I adjusted the colors to get the tones I wanted. I could probably touch that up easily. thanks for stopping by!

your time is appreciated.
