out door fish and chip shop on the pier. rascals dive bombing the

tables for snapper. All comments appreciated.

I appreciate the honesty (really) and both of you taking time to comment.

I really like this shot. I forgot I'd taken it (a year old undeveloped film), but when I saw it I immediately remembered how blisteringly hot it was. how much i wanted a drink after a long walk with a bag and a coat and that it wasn't much further.

True, that isn't conveyed particualarly in the shot for someone who wasn't there; it doesn't shout 'heat', more 'hold still'. But I liked it and it made me smile so I was interested to see if any one might have an opinion, good or bad.

All the best and thanks.

my favourite of your images on here, I think. The grain, coluring and the sky give it such a calm and other world feel; inspite of the activity. really nice

all comments welcome. thanks.

makes me blink looking for the focal point. all comments welcome.

Thanks for commenting Jan; not everyone's preference for sure. Hand held in the early morning at low aperture trying to get something of the hazy feel as a very harsh sun burst out.

i like that it draws you in to look closely at what is going on and what the different bits are. I suppose some would feel the darkness may be a lot of dead space but the position of the subject and the way it is off centered leaves a sense of mystery as to what is not seen and so adds rather than detracts or distracts. Any more may have been too much, but I like it as is.

For the colouring, removing the orange of the tungsten seems to have been a good option and what you have there is nicely cool and understated, at least to me.

nice effort.

all comments weclome.

well it made me drill in to the thumb nail to take a closer look to work out what was going on, seems like such an uncomfortable position; but then i'm as supple as a brick. I like the softness too, although i would have perhaps shifted the focus onto the fingers or the foot rather than on the strap round the ankle.. perhaps

I like the very graphical quality with strong lines and shapes although I'm not sure why you broke the symmetry around the calves; it leaves me feeling a bit lopsided against the rest of the shot, and looking at your other stuff i can only assume everything here was intentional so am a bit curious about the motive.

And on that same note I would perhaps have liked to see a little detail in the left shoulder (like there is on the right one) just to give it a bit more defenition.

All just personal preference of course..

the image is nice, but a couple of things bug me slightly that leave me unsure which way the picture is taking me.

 

The foreground is full of motion, even if it be a sensual motion, but it feels like the tenticles are writhing - which I'm not getting in the seascape behind - but then the lady is rather restful and the reason I used the word sensual earlier.

 

So I'm not left with anything but a conflict of thought - which I suppose then ties in with the title.... but it doesn't feel right to me visually....

 

Anyway. that's my couple of pence on the matter. Cheers.

less is more apparently. this is my favourite of the folder. it holds a rather calming quality. Struck me as very Japanese with the colours.
