Hi Marek. Thank you for commenting on one of my portraits, It brough me to your wonderful portfolio. This is my favourite, the colours are fantastic and the composition is perfect. Regards Steve

Hi Shirley - this is a lovely shot which captures the little girl perfectly.  From a composition point of view I would have gone a little more traditional rule of thirds and put a little more space around her.  My eye was drawn to her fingers and dress where they were touching the edge of the image.  Small criticisms on what is a lovely photo.  Kind Regards, Steve

Comments please. I realise it is heavily processed; however, I was going

for a particular 40s/50s movie star look. Regards Steve

You kindly commented on one of my images recently and it brought me to your portfolio.  Fantastic photos - too many to comment on!  But this one caught my eye - what a great idea and really well executed.  Happy Holidays from New Zealand, Steve.

Hi David,

Thanks for commenting on one of my portraits recently - it brought me to your portfolio.  Your nudes are great but it was this feller that caught my eye - lovely tones and great detail.  Have a Happy Holiday!

Any constructive criticism gratefully received. Regards Steve

Love your work Paolo! Wonderfully evocative of an era.  Steve

Don't know whether I am qualified to critique; however, I can comment on what I like or don't like about the image.  I like the B&W treatment and the tones in the image, although overall it is a bit dark.  I think you have overdone it on the vignetting.  The placement of the subject in the centre of the image doesn't quite work for me (I'm a 'rule of thirds' kind of guy).  I suppose at the end of the day it all comes down to what you are trying to portray with this shot and as a viewer I am unsure.  By the way, you have some lovely images in your portfolio.  Steve

First of all, I like this image!  However, I do keep getting drawn away from the main subject by the young man in the background.  I am not sure why you put the border on the image which, for me,exacerbates the 'ear bleed' you refer to.  I think I would have been tempted to have the background more out of focus.  However, as I said before, I really do like this image and it definitely engaged me and made me think, which has to be a good thing for an image to do.  Kind Regards, Steve

I don't  think it is a boring image; however, as you (me) scan through the images in the Critique forum it does not leap out at you as a particularly strong image in comparison with the rest of them.  As an aside, what it did do was lead me to your portfolio where you have some great images and I am grateful for that opportunity.  Kind Regards, Steve

Beautiful colours!

Great image - very creative.  Beautiful.  Kind Regards Steve

What a great image.  Really interesting an thought provoking.  I think I would prefer it even more if the balloon was the only splash of colour.....not sure....its great anyway.  Kind Regards Steve

Great image - love to see what she looks like without your creative treatment.  Another fantastic photograph.  Kind regards Steve

You kindly commented on one of my photos and that brought me here.  I really like your landscapes and this one is  my favourite.  It would look equally as good as a B&W.  You can almost feel the cold looking at it.

Kind Regards, Steve
