A lovely egg with lips and eyes. Very captivating and original.

Daniela,

What's your problem? My critique is short and to the point. The pose alone renders this photo subpar for John. I don't believe that I have to write an essay covering every aspect of the photo to make my opinion clear. If I had merely said "great job," you probably would not have objected.

Oops! Now that I am at home and using a far better monitor, I see that verticle is the only way, and that this is really a terrific image.

November 25, 2003

The pose is slightly ridiculous.

November 24, 2003

I like it, but I wonder how it would look with a horizontal orientation.

Although this shot has been taken umpteen times, your version is very nice.

November 22, 2003

Great work. I love the colors and the light. Nicely cropped, too.

November 22, 2003

The hands are amazing. I believe that the cropping is too tight; I want to see more of the right shoulder. Also, the contrast too high for my taste.

I don't know how to respond to images such as this. Taken as it is, I think it is an outstanding combination of nature and landscape photography. But if the bird was digitally inserted, I feel as though I have been tricked, because this scene never existed in the real world. Why I feel this way about photographs is a puzzle, as I do not place the same restrictions on paintings.

It's gorgeous, but I would prefer the bird more to the right.

A very funny slice of life. Beautiful tones.

This could be truly excellent if you would crop the crud at the bottom of the frame.

This is a fine example of documentary style photography. Darkening the edges increases the emotional impact.

November 16, 2003

It's lovely and atmospheric, but I would like to see a bit more of the foreground.

November 15, 2003

It's great even with the subject centered. The illuminated clouds seem to radiate from his body.

November 15, 2003

This image is very erotically charged, and the color version is much hotter. Nice work.

November 13, 2003

Excellent work, as usual. I find the bright area in the upper left corner to be a bit distracting, but otherwise it is nearly perfect.

Hey, I didn't know that Steve McCurry was posting here. Oh, it's not one of his photos. Well, I think Steve would have been proud to have produced it.
