It may be the scan but this looks like it has had some photoshop unsharp masking added to it. The colors are washed out. The framing is excellent though. But there isn't much impact. James

I like the dynamics of the image. Unusual perspective. Nice tonality. Nice use of a good model. James

It was a nice idea but your technique failed you. Repreint it. Not enough separation in the tones. Flat tonal range for the tones present. Not enough distinction in the subject. James

There were at least a dozen good images in this photo but this isn't one of them.The light is wrong. The doors are centered. It is out of focus and tilted. The color is washed out. James

As a color image, this is just a run of the mill image. Take the time to get all the debris off the subject before pulling the trigger. It's distracting. As a b&w abstract which would have been much stronger, the same goes. James

Hey. A guy shooting a cliche' printed badly. James

This would be a nice image if it were printed properly. It is so flat. James

Nice image. Well balanced. James

Awesome. Simply awesome. Great pose. Great lighting. Great processing. Is this a print? Great printing. Very powerful image. James

Nice collection Linda. Yours? I collect Pottery and baskets from the southwest. I think there are too amny hats in this image. Either fewer hats or a wider framing to include all of them. Nice lighting. Beautiful work. james

Nice image for sure. I love the filtering here. A little off the dock though. Have you tried any photoshop on this image. Can be very effective with some softening and grain filtering. James

Is this computer enhanced or is she masochistic? That's got to hurt. Does nothing for me. What a waste of money. Nice color though. Velvia? James

Minnie's going to slap you right up side the head Mickey. Nice groceries though. Is this going to Gentlemen Magazine. James

Good product shot. Nice lighting except for the bottom of the watch. James

Can't beat Velvia for gorgeous color. Nice balance if you crop out all that uninteresting sky above the clouds. Nice. James

Focus. I really like thsi idea David. Great eye. I love the tone. Nice detail. But focus. James

July 4, 2001

David, maybe it's the scan or a computer artifact but this is out of focus. And with LF you should be able to get everything in sharp focus. Nice idea but the poor focus ruins this image. Nicely lit. A little more light from the top would have helped. James

David, is the print brighter? I like the hint of a leaf between the blooms. But I really would like this print to have some life. It just sits here. The flowers are very muted and flat. Not much shape to them because of the lighting. Callas should be shimmering white. If you want them muted, then shoot and print them with a high value but with lots of grain like a lith print. They should still be printed as a high key. Just the flowers. And the leaf needs more prominence but with a lot of contrast. It woyuld have a shine and add the critical third element here. And the flowers are separated too much. The right hand flower crowds the frame edge also. Look at McSaveney or Cy DeCosse. James

David. Nice image. Great pose for this model. I like everything(except the low key printing)here. Great model. Nice balance. Good lines. Nice shape to the belly. Nicely accentuated too. Very Hamiltonish. The print could have been spotted to smooth the blemishes or freckles on her face. Overall a very nice image. Can it be lightened? And print her hair with a really hard filter. Really throw some sparkle into it. James

You had an idea. It's been done a million times but that doesn't matter. At least to me. I like b&w nature anything. But what happened here? White spots on the leaf. Nice try at good tonality. But it fades from focus near the camera. These type images have to be sharp. Sharpness really counts. This fails. Shoot it again. James

This kid needs some help. And soon. James

BBBRRRRRRRR!!!!! I'd like the sky a different color though. It kind of falls flat here. Unlike the rest of the image. Very nice shot. James

July 4, 2001

Very nice image. A little lighting of the dark corner would help. Like bright areas, dark areas within light hi key images is distracting. But just soften it a little. And I would also like to see the unsoftened rendition of this. Very soft and soothing image. Nice color pallet. Lots of emotion here. Congrats. James

Very nice. Bike stands out very well. Very soothing image. james

See, here in Texas, we have to tell the folks it's a truck. (wink) James
