Great

Top grade!

Wow

Good composition and execution. Would be a nice one to hang on the wall if it had less noise. Is it a long exposure?

Great angle! Sky could be more saturated, but polarizing it might ruin reflection.

It's just a well exposed BACKLIT BLACK subject with an amazing sunset as background. Did I mention that it's a wonderful idea too? Sure 7/7, and if there was rating for merits, it would sum 21!

I like the idea and the resulting image. We do have some photogenic coins, né? But the "noise" in the flat color disturbs me. I like grain in paper prints, but can't stand it on video. Same for noise. So here's my "tweaked" version (www.neatimage.com). Ótimas fotos na tua pasta, parabéns!

Very well handled. There's a very small asymetry, which doesn't do any harm. I like it a lot.

Did you want that apple to become darker? I think the lemon trick would give you a better picture, with a lighter area there. Anyway, it's a great photograph (both original and alternate crop, but I prefer original). Thanks for posting!

Only her eyes and a bit of (beautiful) hair are in focus. Well, I can't draw my attention away from the focused area. The fact that the only expression in the picture comes from her eyes makes it more interesting.

You got it, what's missing from most beach shots are feet... because when you are relaxing on the sand, they are there, just between you and the sea. I think that bare feet and legs would make the picture more cruel (for those living away from the sea), but less interesting :)

Like Mr. Croninger said, she looks very confortable, like if drawning her sword out is an everyday thing. And that gives her an aura of power and strength. I'm sending this URL to a couple of kendoist friends for more opinios. Great photograph.

The leaf seems to be the source of light, reminds me of an explosion. Given this and the hard light at edges ("hair light"), blurred grass is the best way to say "hey, it's a *leaf* on the ground". I looks like its read to burn, not frozen :)

Very good, even clouds position is right.

Good timing. Uncooperative swans are said to be tastier :)

Flowers are an invitation to cliches... I'm glad you never accept them :)

March 6, 2003

Very well done.

March 6, 2003

Great idea (I suppose it's an idea, not a natural sight, right?)! Subject's position and color give me a feeling of sadness... will it suceed? It's a 7/7, no doubt.

March 6, 2003

Great composition, exposure and colors. I love this one.

Is that Cyclops in the background?

Great photo! Emotion, music, attitude. Nice colors. Small problem: overexposed nose and forehead (lack of tanning, probably... these guys are night creatures)
