Nightime exposure of docks at Lake Grapevine. Comments and critiques are appreciated.

In B/W eh? Thats ashame. The colors are great.

This photo just popped for me as soon as the page loaded. Great colors. What are the dropplets reflecting?

Good pan - nicely done. Shows speed quite well.

Comments and Critiques are appreciated.

Wayne, thank you for your comments. There were no other light sources, and no reflectors. The sparks from the grinder is the main light source in this photograph.

 

Do you feel that the background is too light? Part of me feels that its just right, the other part feels that I should darken it, that it distracts from the main subject. Would like to know what you think.

Thanks for the comments!!!

 

Larry, the photo was taken at the Dallas Aquarium - through the glass. Was grossly dark in there...shot this at iso3200 1/15 f/2.8 - hand held.

Thank you for your comments.

Very interesting. Not something that I would normally give a 7/7 for...but I cannot find anything asthetically wrong with it, and if its not original, its nothing at all.

 

Well done - 7/7

Thank you both for the comments. I did have that tree burned to almost pure black but decided it was too strong. Almost as the picture was unballanced. Nothing else in the photo had that rich of a black, and it seemed out of place.

 

I also went as far as cloning it out and leaving the morning sun, and cropping the sun and tree out just above the lower tree line, but nothign seemed to work as well as the full frame. Besides...I was proud of getting that sun in there...I couldn't just cut it out. :)

 

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Love the tones. Well done - 6/6

From my first attempt at portraits, especially baby portraits.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Beautiful. Wonderful colors and tones. Beautiful detail in the sky. This photo is highly underrated in my opinion.

 

Well done 7/7

I too like this. I'd even go as far as saying hte borders could be pulled in even more and it'd still work. I need to learn how to do that one of these days.

 

Well done.

Rick, I'd have to see it rotated to give an opinion on that. As for pulling the borders ina nd having the petals overlapping them...I'd be very curious to see that. I've seen it done a few times with animals and other subjects, and I always love it. I think it could work well with this as well.

A nice B/W. Great tones, lovely reflection. Well done - 6/6

This is most definitely original and doesn't deserve anything less than 7's for originality in my opinion. I can honestly say that I've never seen a photo like it.

 

Well done...7/7

I think the contrast is fine, but looks like it could be a hair brighter. I think i'd crop out the top part of the clouds as well...but thats just me. Other than that...i like this photo. Well done. 6/6

 

 

I normally don't pay much attention to flower pictures...they just never interested me much...but this one jumped out at me. Excellent presentation, beautiful colors, great DOF. I agree with Janet about it being a bit too tight on the sides, especially since the top left petal is touching the edge, but its not enough to kill the photo or presentation for me. Well done - 7/7

Very nice

Nicely done - 6/6

Excellent Detail, Perfect exposure. Well done.

A well deserved 7/7. Beautiful photograph.

 

Well done

7/7 - Very nice, very sharp, beautiful detail.

 

Well done.
