How something can be so ugly ... and at the same time so beautiful?  Wonderful picture Vladimir!

This is a great image, but it should be titled, according to my kids, something like "August Back-to-School Nightmare".

Took this photo the day after Christmas. Left Union Station and saw

the jet trails drifting, so beat it over to the Capital to get the shot before

it floated away.

The day after the elections I took several photos from New Jersey Ave

NW. This seemed to be the best. I added the verticle line from the

crate.

We spent 2 days of our honeymoon there at Camp Canaima ... 25 1/2 years ago. The pinkish sand, the waterfalls, the mesas in the background: it hasn't changed. Thanks for the memory!

The green pipe is neccessary. That's what they use to pump the water back up to the top of the falls.

Of course Janosch Simon or Jeremy B. might want in on the fight.

The funny thing is ... I think it goes well with your other photo of men standing on the large round objects. They go well together.

 

I like the near vs. far concept of this photo. You've captured lots of detail, also.

Great color for the sky and trees. Terrific structure to the picture also, with the diagonals pulling your eyes down the road. Love it.

You've done a terrific job of capturing the flames. My simple attempts at capturing fire have resulted in only one success (Sacrifice), but with your example as a guide I think I'll keep trying. Nice work.

This is, to me, the best of the two. The previous comment was right-on. I also like the way the diagonal line of lights isn't straight, but jogs. It grabs the focus of my eyes.

 

The picture also makes me a little homesick! (See Catamaran on Lake Michigan.)

The pattern in the sand is terrific. I also appreciate you're getting the horizon level. Too many beach photos have a tilted horizon. Great focus, too.

Nice portrait and nice expression on the model, especially the way she stares at the camera with a slight smile. The graininess of the photo, and the washed-out background, makes it seem like it's an old photo. That's not a bad thing though.

Virgil Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in the Apollo 1 launch pad fire. Grissom and Chaffee are buried in Arlington National Cemetary. White is burried at the Military Academy in West Point, NY. I new Chaffee's parents.

Everything about this photo is terrific: the pose, the lighting, the focus, the skin tones. Even the goose bumps on the skin! And Laurentiu, to get the model to do this pose you tell her it is in the interest of Art ... and cross your fingers! Danielle, keep up the good work.

A beautiful, gorgeouos picture ... but the horizon tilts to the right. This is easily corrected though. I love the richness of the colors, and the black border helps, too.

Very soft and delicate. I like it!

This reminds me of those hood ornaments you'd see on cars built back in the 1950s: silver with a smooth finish. It's so different from a lot of your work in that there is no color or smiles or humor in the composition. It's exactly like a lot of your other work in two other respects: PhotoShop work, and real attention to getting it 'right'. Great job. Thanks for sharing!

Great! Thank you.

The previous comments are right, great tones and lighting. I don't particularly care for the red lines on her torso though. As for the background flaws (the nick in the surface to the right of her head, and the partial circle below her elbow on the right edge) ... I would either PhotoShop them out, or ... include more.

 

Beautiful pose and expression. Thank you!

The lighting is great, the angle is great. Some might object to the cropping, but I think that's always part of the photographer's artistic expression. I like the cropping. What looks odd (to my amateur eyes) is how she is holding her arms. Usually in nude photography, if the model is covering, she is covering breasts, bottom or genitalia. In this case her breasts are already covered. Covering above her breasts seems akward. The arms might be more natural if akimbo or behind stretching.

I still love the pic though, thanks!

The lighting in this photo is terrific. The reflected light on the windshield adds to the cleanness of the picture. At first it seemed like the type of photo the Jeep people would display in their ads. The only problem is what's behind the Jeep. The gravel area with weeds doesn't live up to the rest of the background ... it detracts from the mood of the picture. And the metal looks like it's attached to the back bumper of the vehicle (IMHO).

Beautiful model, beautiful expression. Edward is correct about the moisture on the window, it definitely elevates the mood. 7/7. Thank you for posting this pic, it's a great way to start the new year.

Actually, I find the photo on the right to be more distracting. I find my eyes wandering over to the second pair of eyes in the picture. IMHO the picture on the left works better with the head cut off. If you wanted a different mood you could load the background with multiple pictures, all staring at the viewer, and the model looking elsewhere. It would creep me out.

 

Great picture, great model.
