Nice work with the detail, diagonal and composition. I don't know but I've been told that a diffusion screen like a white umbrella can help cut down that shell glare.

Nicely caught light, held well.

Looks like its getting the better of him, wasn't built in a day was it? Well seen.

Very nicely held details in the boarding against that sky

Nice story developing here, good candidate for a caption competition: "Who needs friends when they bring enemas?"

The first fingers of Dawn (Nude)

April 22, 2007

Lovely line and nice twilight lighting.

April 22, 2007

The bride and her bokeh are wonderfully lit with nice backlighting on the stem hairs.

The plane of focus/DOF looks a bit offset to me. The eye approaches focus but the blue surrounding feathers are not. Nice colour, nice close crop but the sharp focussed points are not always the points of highlight/interest. Good shallow DOF backgrounding.

April 22, 2007

Nice catchlights and shadow removal on a well caught model. Skin too smoothed by the intensity as noted.

April 22, 2007

You,ve got good catchlights, focus on the eyes, feels a bit soft elsewhere. The diagonal close crop adds mood but there's no doubt that the eyes tell the story.

April 22, 2007

Could do with a ittle more light in the eye sockets as the white hat pulls the attention away from the eyes.

Sharp, beautifully timed, well lit bird. Water tending to dull at the top but it would be difficult to crop anything.

April 21, 2007

Nicely exposed but tending towards burnout on the RHS. I wonder how this would look at daybreak/sunset with the warmer light at a low angle?

April 21, 2007

Not the best angle but nicely isolated. Not keen on the chopped wheel.

April 21, 2007

The line chosen is good, sky looks a bit strong, the last arch wants to be in or out.

April 21, 2007

Love the crop, the light, the tree, everything. If this view is 'done to death' (?) then someone should come up with a better one - until then, this is the gold standard.

April 21, 2007

Cropped version sets the mood much better, concentrates on the colours and implied movement - it's actually a LOT more interesting.

G'day from Brisvegas. Here's what they do next: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5875787

Nice use of the line and bollard and interesting cloud over the building. Not much I can offer past that.

The B&W could be a good idea to reduce the photo to its basic form but the very bright burn out area immediately draws the eye away, especially as the hand is a little dark. Nice reflection of the sky.
