i say that in a good way.

this has great lighting.

contrast

the scene itself makes me so want to be there.

and then this little skier shows up unexpectedly in the lower right hand corner, like a surprise intruder into this image. for this i would take down one of my own photos on the wall and hang this in its place.

you are a master of photography with this photo.

congrats!

Fabulous!

Colorful yet subdued. Love the S curve of the river/riverbank.

Sharp detail, milky soft water

I visited Sand Beach during an ongoing winter storm and the surf was

raging and very loud!

I could have watched it all day.

All comments welcome

He's my brother.

In this the final performance of the Dance Guild in Lunenburg,

Massachusetts, one dancer carries his brother on his shoulder and this

is the song that played in the background. All comments welcomed.

This waterfall I call Hidden Falls because it is not on any map or in any

guidebook, neither is there a sign posted to get to it nor is there a trail

leading to it. I happened across it when I began to follow a river

downstream behind an abandoned paper mill. I saw the river drop away

and knew there must be a waterfall below. So I began to wade through

the river to this hidden place. So I named it Hidden Falls. If you ask me

where it is I might tell you. It is within walking distance of where I work

but for three years I had never explored that area which was sort of in

my back yard! Oh yeah, all comments are welcome. Thanks

I shot this for a digital scavenger hunt. The subject was 9.

so here it is, nine citrus wedges. Shot with the light from the bar

overhead in a restaurant called The Monument Grill.

All comments welcomed!

i call this Christoph's world after Christina's world by a famous painter

from Maine, last name of Wyeth. Model was shot separately in

Massachusetts and composited with the old farmhouse. It h ad to be

done.

comments welcome!

Is this a portrait?

Can a portrait be of the subject's hands?

I think the hands show who who is perhaps more even than his face.

What do you think?

Please critique this macro shot of a white flower I shot during the summer.

I spent an hour on my stomach trying to get a shot of this thing, and the memories I

have are of the tick that embedded itself into my belly button during that time.

Makes it all worth it!

George,

I love this photo. Looks old like a days gone by photo.

i wish i knew what post processing you did if any, it works so well.

best regards,

peter

your work is very creative george.

you've taken your smoke talent to another level.

cool stuff!

Every day i pass by this old truck parked outside an old paper mill in Fitchburg,

Massachusetts. I couldn't resist this shot with the autumn leaves.

All comments welcome

Shot right after a rain, this picture of the eiffel tower in a puddle was inspired by my

good friend George Gallant, who taught me to shoot things reflected in puddles.

All comments welcome

My friend George Gallant inspired me to try this new genre in

photography. We went to my studio and experimented with the lights

and background and focus to just get the right contrast. He wiggled a

little incense stick as I snapped photos of the smoke rising. Then I just

went through several hundred photos looking for images that resembled

people or things. Tweaking a little here and there in photoshop.

If you want to know more details, send an email to myself or to George

Gallant who is also a member here.

All critiques welcome!

I like it!

soft snow, cold ice, the wooden posts contrast nicely.

Hello,

A girl in my camera club asked me to shoot photos of her trashing her

dress. I chose Marginal Way near Ogunquit, Maine. The Atlantic Ocean

turned out to be a great spot! You gotta try this! Any comments and

critiques are welcome.

Peter

Hi george,

This reminds me of a kaleidoscope.

Or Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

I see your imagination at work with these shots. You must have been here back in the Sixties?

How did you do this? These are great!

Are these actual photos?

Humbly,

Peter Christoph

George,

nice photo!

Looks like the same one I see on 495 myself, but whenever I stop, he flies away!

I am still trying to get that hawk or eagle shot, but anyhow yours is an inspiration to know that it CAN be done, and I'll keep trying. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your portfolio and all the different styles you have developed.

George,

Nice capture.

This takes me back in time, I love these shots.

Nice black and white treatment, nice contrast, texture.

Take me to this place sometime!

I wish i was there Wendy. I am glad you left in the person to show how BIG this waterfall is. It looks so surreal, as if there is no way that much water could be falling over that cliff. Nice color, nice exposure!

Have a look, thanks. This guy was eating at the same outdoor

restaurant in Miami as I was and actually didn't mind having his

picture taken. All comments welcome

When I approached this guy coming out of a local pizza shop,to ask if

I could take his picture, I expected the worst. But instead of

breaking my camera over my head, he was fine with it, and seemed to

enjoy having the photo taken.

So this one summer day I found myself at the Cloisters in Baltimore

Maryland, where my daughter is the flower girl in a wedding. The poor

little guy was very convincing in his miniature tuxedo, but I told him

no, not yet...
