I appreciate comments and critique...

What appeals me most is that this photo is mixture of old style and today. There is toned photo (even darkened from edges) of young lady with old stylish clothes, but with newer hairstyle, more daring pose and framed/cropped by way that, i guess, would have been unheard and unaccetable some eihgty years ago. Yes, mixing is the keyword. a s l a

This is fine photo. I like the way clouds and water create rounded E- shape around rocks. Composition is well thought, interesting and creative. For me there is also just right amount of contrast (pretty high) yet rich tonality. Yes, I am jealous... a s l a

Nice repetition of shapes. I would convert this to BW. I am now little disturbed about orange-brownish pole on the left and grass on the shoreline. This photo works well with shapes and lines, not colours. a s l a

It emits very dark mood. Something like "lord of the rings" comes to my mind. I like it. a s l a

Interesting turquoise water! Does colour differ much from actual colours? And in what direction does colour(s) shift? Are there some regularities or does camera have "it's own mind"? a s l a

I like geometry of content. I like bw work, too. Geometry is not as pure as it could be (or frame is busy). But tonality is fine. a s l a

Lost in translation... ;) a s l a

I'm wondering is it deliberate that his skin has very low contrast so that details almost disappear, while his jacket has plenty of sharpness and detail? My attention is now more drawn to his clothes (Boxfresh). Dodging eyes, while powerful effect, is not enough. At least imo. That thing aside, well posed, well framed nice portrait. a s l a

Nice. Good light and delicate colours. a s l a

Nice. Are they originally on dark background. That is, have you given negative treatment to original? They look tender. a s l a

Very Dali- esque, and by personal way. Would I hang one on my wall? Perhaps. Do I like it? Definitely. a s l a

Very dynamic photo. Intriguing colours, strange mist and fine effect on water (not too slow). I like this. a s l a

Fun. Good use of uwa, too. At first, I thought that subjects shirt and hair blend too much in to background, but looking little bit longer realized that this choice brings faces better up... a s l a

Fine moment and surrounding captured. A picture of joy and freedom. From technical aspects I would perhaps try to crop buildings out from right hand and try to adjust some levels or/and use dodge & burn. a s l a

I like it. It is tad busy and have no recognizeable shapes except those what they are. But as an abstract art, it is fine. a s l a

Yes. I like it. Allmost white edges of boat gives just enough separation from background. It is sharp, it is simple yet interesting. Amount of toning is plenty, almost too much, but choice of colour is fine.

I am by no means any expert on pet photography, but comment anyway.

 

My attention was drawn by composition, tonality and dark eye. I can guess there is no time for reflectors when photographing cats, but thet right (its left), black eye still haunts me. Burned whites whit no details are also disturbing. That's pity because othervise contrast on its fur is appealing, indeed. I also like your choise of making it BW. Extremely tight composition is great It adds cats look and kind of underlines its predator nature.

 

Not sure, if You can do anything for those detail things (tonality), but as it is, I'd say this is promising.

You took part to that ~150 $ project? Respect. Rather unique viewpoint, even here in PN. a s l a

Misfocus. But glad I looked closer. Fence wires really suit well here. I could get in to "surveillance mode", but tad greenish toning would help there.

 

I like to present things as sharp, as clean and as simple as possible. This photo reminds me, that sharpness is not always needed. Those people and their poses are clear enough that curiosity is risen. Are they coule or what?, What is left person intent to do? What would I see (better), if they were sharp? Is this best amount of blurrness with these subjects? Did you try?

 

Really mixed bag, this photo. Not sure wether I hung one on my wall or not. I generally like this and one thing is sure: it is not dull!

Damn, this is FINE! Dark, threatening photo with light mood. Well done. a s l a

Nice, dreamy seascape. Well composed. Perhaps not the best possible light, but colours match well together. a s l a

Fine composition with few interesting subjects. Good timing with both sky and net. Nice contrasty BW work, too. a s l a

Very simple. Very dramatic. Very fine. a s l a

There is something poetic in this photo. Perhaps only missing thing is mist... At the same time, I like the way of ruggedness it has (for exampe at reflaction of girl). I would perhaps be willing to give lighter background away by cropping. Very good.photo. a s l a
