in my youth of course : )

thanks for looking. . .

the expression, composition, lighting, beautiful model (of course)...lots of emotion here, captured so well...congrats! and thank you!

it says, whatever has grabbed their attention has completely removed concern over the dangers of that wire! (a potential ouch! situation)

absolutely adorable children! (are these yours Parvin?) nice shot! its a fun one for sure. . .i find myself for the moment not worried about the wire either. . .although, as a parent i know i would/should be (but what do parents know about fun anyway, right! : )

i like the originality, composition and use of light, only the model from waist up is competing with the bright window lights; i like the effect of the lights though; i wonder if an additional source from above (bounced flash maybe?) could help; overall very well done!!

i've wondered myself how more people/more blur might work; but you can't control human traffic in grand central!

this image is powerful with emotion; the hands contribute largely to establishing the mood and the lighting is perfect in my opinion; i like it!

wow Parvin...this is so cool! this is a new look for miss nitu...and you've captured her well as usual

Parvin, the only difficulty i have with this photo is explaining why i like it the most...i certainly like the composition, the model's expression, the natural tones...but there's something else...(silence...still looking)

beautiful! in every way! at first, i too thought it could use a crop from the top when looking at the larger image; but when i look at the thumbnail, it seems to work for me; as is, it gives a better sense of the size of the window; if anything, maybe a little less crop on the window side to completely show her left hand?

very nicely done!

nice range in tone! both quiet and dynamic at the same time. . .well done!

paparazzo found!

thanks Parvin!...notice the smile on his face...i think he was pleased to find someone willing to fill out his survey

comments welcome. . .thanks

two students. . .thanks

cool! interesting how the converging shape of the dock guides you from the foreground to the background and back again to the boat; both are interesting; a boat "portrait" and landscape combined in one photo; love the colors; nicely done!

me too!

ouch!

well done. i'd say your day started out just right! nice lighting. is this natural light only? i like the way you've used the power of her eyes to draw in and hold the attention of the observer. i also like the placement of her arms with hands outside of the frame -- it allows for continuity to the surroundings and gives a sense of open space despite the close crop which excludes all else from the background except a narrow section of the stairs.

this photo was taken many (maybe twenty) years ago using a Minolta

x-570 that I'd just purchased; my model was a good friend and

co-worker who also had a good sense for composition; the idea for the

photo was entirely hers; as a new photographer, I focused mainly on

not missing the "good" shots

Two natural beauties capturing each other. . .what a great idea! Congrats to you!! I only wish I knew how to say it in Spanish (or Portuguese? or what's that language you're writing in?)

that's all i can say :)

my uncle loves photography, women, and Reno. . .he would love this excellent photo! congrats!!

Absolutely lovely picture! I'd love to "GO" there to "get away" from workplace drudgery as often as possible!

 

If I may chime in on the DOF discussion, it seems to me to be a case of semantics; strictly, both William K and William W are using the term incorrectly. Although it's clear to me what William K is articulating, as Clint points out, depth of field is controlled by the photographer by aperture or lens choice and can be shallow or long; its a term which characterizes the entire photo, not subjects within. To limit the term to photos with shallow depth of field is a misuse.

nice pensive expression; good composition;

the right arm brings quite a bit of weight to the lower part of the photo which isn't as interesting as the upper part
