    Ahh, yes! It brings to mind the movie of the same name starring Tom Laughlin of Billy Jack fame. The only thing missing are a few hard core bikers ... you know the kind ... faces only their mothers could love, whole body tattoos (skulls, naked chicks, grim reaper, red heart with 'mom' in the middle), tattered leather jackets, dirty jeans, big bellies, and scraggly beards. This photo puts me in touch with the hidden outlaw within me.

    This is a wonderful composition, and Tom is right ... it tells a story. The light background isolates the boy and his bike. For me, this is about boy vs. hill. I think I can, I think I can ...
  1. The water and clouds give this a dreamlike quality that I really like. I don't know how much post processing you did, but whatever you did, it is superb. I should mention too that the composition is right on the money. Have I mentioned yet how much I like this photo?

    This has tremendous impact! Humans will most likely continue the slaughter of species to their extinction in the name of profit until humanity will no longer be able to survive. Then, the earth will finally heal.

    You would have had much better results with this if you had him move out of the direct sun. This way, you could have avoided the dreaded white forehead. The composition isn't bad, just the brightness on his skin.

    I am enjoying this entire series tremendously and I look forward to its continuation. Your dumbo-rats are very entertaining and you present each one of these photos in a very natural way. Congratulations!
  2. The composition is good, but facial color seems dull. The brightness on top of her head is a little distracting, but it certainly doesn't ruin the photo. I took the liberty of doing some quick adjustments ... see if you like the result. You're on the right track. Oh yeah ... and you have a beautiful model.

    This is a keeper. Exposure and detail are right on. I also like the dog's intense gaze. My preference would be to crop differently, but it looks good as it is.

    Overall a very nice image. I believe I would have included less of the top of the head and more of the chin, but that's just me. It also looks as if the one side of the face is a little out of focus as compared to the other side.
  3. Gordon ... where were you when you ran into my ex-wife? Seriously though ... I've been waiting to see some underwater photos from you. I like this one in particular for the colors and detail in the fish. Not sure what kind of fish it is, but it looks like it might be hiding in the vegetation waiting for its next meal. Hopefully, you'll post more soon.
  4. From my point of view, the background is blurred enough as to make it only a very minor distraction. In an urban setting, the best we can do at times is to blur the background as much as possible. I've seen photos (and I'm guilty of this myself) where the background is as much in focus as the subject. Now that's distracting.

    A windy day

    You've titled this photo "A Hot Day", but it doesn't convey the feeling of heat, rather it looks more like a windy day judging by the palms. This most likely would look better if you had shot with the sun close to the horizon. Also, I feel the lack of details in the shadows works against you here. Use the palms to your advantage. I'm sure they're absolutely beautiful on a calm day. I hope you take my comments as they are meant ... a helping hand.

    This looks so peaceful and quiet, albeit a little chilly. I was thinking it might look better if you cloned out the leash, but I actually like it there. It gives a connection from man to dog. Nice composition.
