well done, if I didn't see the title I would've thought these were sisters sitting back-to-back ; )

i love the title! my first thought was that it looked like the travelers had quite a distance to travel; the composition gives the sense of great isolation; the mostly undisturbed snow and the tree give a since of deafening silence! great impact with simple content. . .fantastic work!!

A powerful image. Technically/aesthetically excellent. I'm afraid to ask to what loss is this sadness attributed? I could never be a photojournalist.

Great shot Yasuo! Very nice improvement Scott!

seems like there's a story here; I agree with the others regarding colors and composition

wow! this is wonderful! I'm with the "no change" crowd. There aren't many colors in the original background so the legs already pop out quite well!

I think this composition is excellent! I don't think the girl disappears at all. In fact, your eyes sorta get drawn right to her.

Love it! Just curious, is this digital or a print?

A wonderfully captured fun moment! ; )

As I move forward in my "photographic adventures" today, I find that it's photos like this (done at a time when I understood less about photography) that I'd like to capture. In this case, I think it was as much (or more) about the moment than the level of skill that made the photo successful.

nice capture of a moment of curiosity! the lighting worked out just perfectly

and i agree with Douglas about the color matching. . .great job!!

this is a beautiful portrait; no doubt the model has stunning eyes - you can see this also in your b&w portrait of the same model; I think you do a great job in both cases to capture the power of these eyes; I also like how you've framed the image; the colors are perfect; I'm not sure if the model is wearing much make-up (other than around her eyes ; ) but this photo says "natural beauty" to me; very nice!

Thanks so much Bob!

This photo was taken during the last 5 minutes of the bout. She delivered the final "power jam" that delivered a single point victory for her team!! She fell to her knees afterwards, cheering in tears!

this is a fast and exciting sport! it just seems to keep getting

faster each year!

I shot alota roller derby in '08! Please share your honest opinions! ; )

It doesn't have to be any better. . .congrats!

she has beautiful hair. . .hope it didn't hurt too much breaking away from that tree ; )

with overcast sky, photo taken using red2 filter with exposure set to

place background shadows in zone3; Plus-X developed with 1:1 D-76 @

22°C for 9½ min; printed using Besseler 23C on Ilford MGIV RC (normal

grade) developed in 2:1 Dektol, then scanned w/ HP Scanjet 4890 and

PS'd for contrast adjustment and dust clean up; then uploaded to

p.net. . . whew! whaddaya think?

 

I don't care for the 3/3s. I'd like to hear from the helpful patrons

of p.net so that perhaps I can learn and get better. The actual print

is kinda flat. I'd like to get the print to look like the PS'd

version. Any ideas?

I smiled too!

a nice one of a little pivot tangle going on; and your girlfriend must be excited to have you there to capture her awesome maneuvers!

WOW!

very nice use of soft light
