spectacularly beautiful. i too would like to know how the house was lit, PS?, partial hdr?

regardless, beautiful execution, a new favorite for me. - ryan

Love this series. Great work.

- Ryan

on its own it is clearly a wonderful image. however i especially like that it is something different then your usual. one question: there is some grass (?) on the lower left that is highlighted with a rust color. is this also just from the lunar illumination? cheers, ryan

Nice interpretation of a classic shot. - Ryan

I've been to this lighthouse and your approach to capturing it is very well done. The rocks are tack sharp and lead you to the lighthouse so well. In fact the largest segment of rock on the right starts in the direction of the sun and then curves you right around to the lighthouse culminating in a near point. Very cool. I do agree with others that the slant of the building is a bit dissonant for such an otherwise harmonious image. Cheers, Ryan

Wonderful.

Really wonderful image. Composition, exposure, texture...all excellent.

Take this in the spirit it is intended. Your work is very good. I just wish you would let it stand in its own natural merit without so much post-processing. The eyes in your photos are lightened (and color-adjusted?) too much. In this photo the burning to pure black is clumsy. I would encourage you to use a "softer hand" in PS.

I like it a lot except the eyes are a little listless...

Are the women John shoots beautiful? Yes. Are they more beautiful than most other photographers' models on photo.net? Yes, I think so. Does their beauty and nudity draw more views and comments? Yes. Do John's photos draw some men looking more at the models than the photos? Yes.

 

Does any of this lessen John's talent or diminish the quality of his work? No. John's work is immediately recognizable; his style is singular. That alone is an achievement. Like any photographer, some of John's images are stronger than others. However they are all well above average and some are excellent. Those who would claim otherwise are driven by ulterior motives.

 

I appreciate any helpful comments.

Thanks,

Ryan
