  1. I like this shot alot- A nice blue sky and calm water gives you that restive feel, even when the snow tells you it's chilly out. Nice horizon line. I get the feel that we're in the afternoon here, and a polarizer or warming filter may have added some nice depth.
  2. I like the color and movement of the water, but I'm not fond of the context. This is a difficult scene to expose (I would have trouble, that's for sure). I live in a dry environment and am familiar with brown, lifeless looking trees, and over-cast dreary skies. You minimized the sky well, but to add interest to it, and the trees I would have tried some filtration, at least a polarizer. I don't know your work well enough to know your feelings on 'going all natural' though. What do you think?
  3. Thanks guys- I agree with Doug- the bus-type thing in the foreground is not ideal, but it also wasn't mobile. I think from the comments that this shot looks better on my screen, (set up through Photoshop 5.5) because the foreground is too dark to even really see the bus, and the people are less of a distraction. I've been told my screen looks dark by others, but I've calibrated it twice to the same effect- I gotta figure this thing out....

    Very Cool. You did wonders with light and texture. I'm wondering why the ND filter (this may be a stupid question, but I've seen it used a few times- I thought it was pretty much just for adding blur to motion, e.g. water)?

    Great capture- love the light and texture. I like the little wisp of blown sand coming off the peak- it adds motion to a very static scene. Brilliant.

    I'm seeing alot I like in this photo- dramatic clouds and lighting, good balance between land and sky, and nice texture. Unfortunately the dramatic cloud cover has led to quite a dark photo. I don't know how it could be remedied though (I'm still learning myself...)- probably through filtration.

    Beautifully done- The subject is balanced in an attractive manner, and lit nicely to take the ordinary to extra-ordinary. Isolating against the black background adds to your effectiveness.

    Wonderful color and texture. If I wasn't told what this was, I'd never guess. That makes it all the more interesting as the sense of scale has been effectively removed, leading to abstract. A5/O5.5
  4. This was taken at a small fishing port on Santorini, Greece. The

    buildings on the islands are often stark white, with a vibrant color

    contrast on doors, windows, etc. This fence with matching net really

    caught my eye. I increased contrast slightly in Photoshop, but

    otherwise the picture is unmanipulated. I'm not sure what to even

    categorize this one as....
