Yes, fabulous abstract. Would you mind explaining its title? I have a few clues but I'd sure like to have the author's view about it.

Elvis recorded a very nice song telling the story of Little Egypt back in 1964, as part of the soundtrack for a movie whose title was Roustabout. The palmtree is great as an element of decoration one could find in homes and music-halls in the late 19th century. Very well seen Jack. Great title.

Thanks for taking the time. Glad you like this one.

September 6, 2009

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I was a bit hesitant about the treatment and doubted the results. I'm really glad you like it.

Thanks for your kind words.

A beauty, Laurent. The inclusion of the photographer's POV materialised by the blurred piece of wall in the foreground is a great idea that adds interest to the picture. That suggested presence is a definite plus.

Perfect composition. That striking perspective underlined by the lines drawn by the long row of yellow and the windows has great visual impact, echoed by the signs on the right side of the picture. Beautiful arrangement of perspective, horizontal and vertical planes. A winner, Laurent.

So Laurent, are you a Frenchman? Or Swiss?

Beautiful image, very appealing in its simplicity. I particularly like the presence of the post and wires that seem to respond to the tree and leaves. This is the only sign of the existence of man in an otherwise utterly natural landscape. Very well done indeed.

Critique welcome, thanks.

I heard on a documentary series on TV I was watching yesterday that people who are attracted by Abstract painting have a special kind of sensitivity that make them react to shape, colour and textures. I'm glad we've found our small group of like-minded friends here. There's much more than a succesful street shot in that image, as Jack remarked.

Gorgeous treatment. A beauty.

That's true, Markku. Your pics truly deliver and continue to surprise us. A pleasure for our delighted eyes!

September 2, 2009

Lovely. Composition, tones and colours are very successful together.

Excellent classic street shot. Editing is perfect.

That series of panoramic shots is interesting. Did the whole town disappear, Linda? What happened?

September 2, 2009

Beauty, Linda. Light, shape, textures and colour dancing together create a fine pic. A great addition to your study on water and square.

A beauty, Jeff. The contrast between the thin bright lines drawn by the weeds in the foreground and the thick dark mass of the trees in the background is succesful. There's the same kind of feeling in the way you treated the image during editing, between the heavy dark tones and the delicate patches of light. That duality gives greater weight and meaning to the image and reinforces the theme of water and reflection nicely. A fine balancing act.

Excellent. great mood in here. Both humourous and dreamy.

Very good one, Drew. The transparency works just fine. The way the light makes curtain and background melt is a beauty.

Very nice action shot. The blur is really lovely, doggy really cute and soft light and color work just fine. That little doggy looks much drier than the one I posted last week. Good for her.

I like this one very much. Is that the viewfinder on your new camera Jack? No kidding, a very good one.

A very nice street shot and balancing act, Pnina. I like how you placed the two characters in the bottom and top corners as a diagonal. It creates a nice opposition with the flat plane composition and the real-life passer-by that walks across the frame horizontally. A nice study on planes.
