Thanks in advance.

Kirt...if this is HS football...you're not alone. Would be nice if they lit highschool stadiums with something other than a few 75 watt light bulbs.

Shooting my first highschool football game of the year next Friday...will be nice to get back in the swing of things with sports photography since it was my first love.

Look forward to seeing more from ya...and look forward to comments and ratings as well. ;)

Well done. Nice contrast and tones. I played with a simular concept last weekend.

Excellent shot. Grea timing, nailed exposure. I say this all the time, but its a complete shame that sports photography isn't taken seriously on this sight...so many great sports photographs that are completely underrated....this being one of them.

6/6.

Well done.

Thank you for comments.

Carlos....wasn't such fine wine...i bought the cheapest wine I could find. Ended up with two bottles for US$12

I intended to get a splashing effect of the wine "rebounding", or

splashing out of the glass, but missed the glass in this take.

After flipping through my images afterwards this failed attempt

jumped out at me and I immediately saw this theme in it. I thought

it worked...your thoughts?

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Thanks

Paal...i love this series. Always very interesting to look at.

I only wish i thought of it first!!! :)

Nicely done.

Do you have a sound or motion trigger of some sorts? Or did you just try to time this?

I've spent much time trying to capture water droplets and catching strawberries as they are dropped into creme (and the white stains on my camera to prove it). Makes me really want to invest in a motion or sound trigger of some sorts. Getting just the right timing can be quite difficult.

Excellent lighting and profile. Contrast is beautiful.

Nicely done

David...i always enjoy looking at your work, and as usual, this one doesn't disappoint. Excellent detail, very creative. Can honestly say that I've never seen anything like this before, and would have never thought of it myself.

As always...well done!

Love this one. Very simple, very elegent. Lighting, and shadows are excellent.

7/7

Wow....beautiful tones and lighting in this one. LOVE the lighting and contrast.

There is a flaw in the globe on the right side just below the equater that bothers me a little bit...draws my attention away from the man. But that could just be me.

Nicely done!!!

Excellent perspective on this. Great effect and flow.

Beautiful lighting and contrast. Very soft and pleasant. That triangle at the bottom right bugs me a bit and keeps drawing my eye away from the subject though.

Regardless...well done!

This was one of the results of a lazy Sunday afternoon shoot. Was

looking at a bottle of Merlot on my dining room table, and decided

that it might make an interesting subject. Initially planned on

just the bottle in the frame, with the contrasty directional

lighting...but it ended up being uninteresting. Grabbed a wineglass

and set it up and learned that lighting glass is more difficult than

I thought it would be. After playing with angles of my light, and

camera....i feel that this is one of my better results.

Critiques and comments are appreciated. Suggestions and tips for

photographing glass is welcomed as well. :)

Thanks!!!

This is really cool. Great lighting on the egg shell. What an incredibly unique idea. How did you suspend the egg?

Very nice!!!

C&C always appreciated.

Side note: Reflection is not photoshopped in. A sheet of smoked

lucite was used for reflection.

Beautiful soft lighting. Well done. Only thing that bugs me is that there are two catch lights in the ladies left eye, but only one in the right...but that is very minor.

Nice job!

Very simple, yet very effective. This is flawless in my eyes...absolutely love it.

Really a lovely photograph - 7/7

Very nice. Would be quite pleased if it were mine.

Well done - 7/6

Beautiful job. Tones are lovely. Surprising amount of seperation from such like colors.

Great layout and presentation. Nothing less than a 7/7 in my eyes.
