Good heavens what beautiful people. The composition caught me instantly. Thanks for posting this photograph.

Faultless smile, faultless composition.

Tuned into photo.net this late evening to see what was new, and there was one of your portraits in the day's list. Going through the photographs with usual astonishment, and now this one. Bob, I think you must be invisible. Or have an infallible sense of timing to the microsecond to see and capture those expressions that reveal what we are. 

Ultimate compositional skill and ultimate use of color photography.

As attention-getting a photograph as I've ever seen. Print it and hang it in the parlor. The top 1/4 is a landscape on its own.

The foreground is unusual and unexpected, and the color of the earth a nice match with that of the sky. The atmosphere of your portfolio (at your website) is attractive compelling elegant. An uncommon and welcome vision of what a photographer can do.

This is clever and more - as refreshing as the experience itself.

Most captivating picture I've seen on photo.net and perhaps anywhere else. You were lucky to find this person and she was lucky to find a photographer with the skill to take this picture. Divinely charming and unforgettable.

This is the town in Lombardia? The pattern of the street reminds me of trips to Italy. Sicilia and the Costa Amalfitana are special - though you can take a train to anywhere in Italy and get off the train and be very pleased. I visited Salerno briefly and thought it would be a great place to live with Amalfi and Positano and Capri so close. What is especially well done with this photo is the bright wall seen through the opening, and the perfect composition of the picture. And the lantern in just the right place. Time to steal that bicycle and take a ride. The black and white also reminds me of black and white movies from 1950's Italy. And maybe about a bicycle thief, too.

I agree with the previous commentator. To the word. I also agree with his stating that it is an excellent shot. I had not noticed the cat, and when I did notice the cat, I jumped - just what the cat was about to do. Too many photos are too finished, with all the spontaneity polished off. This photo will stay with me, as though I had looked out the window and seen those silver leaves floating over the black void in a picture never to be forgotten, everything over in a moment. What we cherish most later when we are more old than young are memories of moments in the past random seemingly inconsequential blurred around the edges, but glowing and trembling with life life life.

The lighting on this is something else. Silver and sable. And the action/motion never stops. Bravo.

Outstanding capture - color, acuity, aspect ratio, and the attitude of this bird. He fills the frame and he fills his world.

Rajkumar, I've never seen a more affecting photograph on Photo.net. The subject is looking at me implicitly asking for my intentions with respect not only to him or her, but with respect to the world of animals we live in. The artistic qualities of the photograph are in evidence, but the humane qualities are of even greater import. A significant accomplishment to have both in one picture.

This picture deserves to be seen displayed on its own white wall with nothing around it. I'm sure the architect would love to see this. I like pictures that seem to extend beyond the frame, as this one does.

One look in the shadow and in the water and the quality of this photograph was clear. This is the test of getting-the-exposure-right one faces every day out there taking pictures. Bravo.

This is a perfect picture, Adem. And the tiny feet remind me of a hummingbird I was able to rescue some weeks ago. Delicacy and perfection of nature, and it is all here in your photograph. The background and the composition could not be better.

Brings back a trip to Sicily made more than twenty years ago; saw Segesta but did not get to Selinunte. This is exactly the right composition for this building, showing the Greek genius for architecture in this beautiful setting, with the sea in view; and photographed at the right distance, emphasizing the space of sky under which the temple has been standing for two thousand years. Stately and memorable.

The composition is excellent, and that band of light just above the ridge of hills in the background is very interesting lighting for the picture. And I like the way the branch off toward the left of the picture seems to touch the horizon. The little pink tree in the foreground is dessert, even as it fits into and completes the picture; the color matches that of the pink clouds. Again, an arresting image, even as the effect is tranquil. 

It's the real thing. It's just there and I'm there too.

Umair this is extremely well done photo and very natural at the same time. I think the arc of the figure of the batter will be long remembered by everyone who looks at this. Also, the photo just makes me feel good.

Veri, this photo caught my eye and has continued to hold my attention. The composition is just right; I am there seeing what was happening, and what is happening in the sky is the most important thing in the picture. Thanks for contributing this to photo.net; it is an El Greco sky if I ever saw one! http://www.allartclassic.com/pictures_zoom.php?p_number=41&p=&number=ELG011

That hint of a smile means she is just about to break out laughing at us guys talking about soft this and soft that. It takes half an hour to take one's eyes - well, okay, my eyes - off that mouth.

Just when I was beginning to think that looking at photographs of landscapes was boring, this one comes along to jolt me immediately into the opposite opinion.

The sum of this picture is very large. The grass at the bottom, the pilings sticking out of the water, the smooth contours of the land one-third of the way up, the zone of blue sky near the top, the width-height aspect of the photograph. The flight of birds is a magnificent boon of good fortune. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Imagine, a portrait in which one sees more of a hand than of the face. But what one does see of the face is more telling than what one sees in twenty hundred dozen conventional portraits. This is a memorable lesson in how to take pictures of people.
