Everyone, thank you for your kind words. Dan

Hi Lucy, I am glad that the photo has caught your attention. The processing was not that agressive. There was no selective change of contrast. The processing including image-wide reduction of saturation, modification of levels, and application of an unsharp mask.

What a fun moment. My back is hurting just looking at. I really feel for the model. It really is a very cool capture.

Dan

I like the moment you captured. I like the texture on the wall. The glare of the headlights works for me. I like the difference between the orange and the white lights. If I had to make one possible suggestion, it would be to consider a slightly different cropping, maybe taking a little off from the right. It seems just a little off balance to me. But... what do I know. In any case, it is a wonderful interesting photo.

Dan

Very cool. I like the feather-like effect of the falling dust trails. It makes for an interesting abstract. Nicely done.

Dan

I am very interested in your comments and suggestions. This is a revised version of the

photo. Thank you for your time.

 

Dan

Thank you for the kind comments. I have versions where all the petals are sharp (which would make "those" people happy), but I felt the limited depth of field was more interesting. If we all liked the same thing then it would be a boring world.

Ha. You are right. It is the same building that is in my photo. It is an amazing mural. Thank you for your kind comment. Dan

Wonderful tones and composition. I am very fond of this photograph. Well done. Dan

So here is my question... Do you get bored putting up such wonderful photographs? You know, with perfect composition, tone, and texture. Do you ever want to put up a bad one just for fun? :-) Thank you for sharing your wonderful photographs with us.

Dan

Beautiful colors, beautiful composition, perfect depth of field, and it's a frog... go figure. Wonderfully done! Dan

Wonderful photo. I love the depth of field. The tones are perfect. It is a great photo. Nicely done. Dan

I am very interested in your comments and suggestions. Thank you. Dan

This is a beautiful and interesting photo. I like the color, the shapes, and the texture. It is really wonderful. Nicely done. - 7/7

Beautiful photograph. I wish I had taken it, which is to say I really like it. Well done.

Dan

I admit that I have used a copy of Gravitation to flatten posters before. It seems to be the appropriate text for that.

Thank you for your kind comments.

 

As far as the reflection on the photo, I think you are right. It's funny, I was going to dodge it a bit to soften the reflection, but after a while the reflection started to grow on me. It was the outside trying to creep in to this isolated place. That's probably overly symbolic. In any case, thank you for your kind comments.

 

Dan

This is great fun. Well done.

Dan

The photo is a lot of fun. The model is attractive, and the hair is wonderful. I wonder if it would have been slightly stronger, if the flash had been off the camera, or if there had been fill from below. The shadow under the face is a little harsh. In any case, the photo is great fun.

Dan

I am very fond of the color, the composition, and the shadows. The contrast makes it almost crunchy (maybe there is a better word). For a moment I thought it might be stronger if it were a bit sharper, but I changed my mind. I like it just the way it is. Nicely done.

Dan

The photo has a wonderfully strong mood. I like the simple strong contrast between the skin and the brick. Her expression is very interesting too. Nicely done all around.

Dan

You have an interesting pose and wonderful texture. I am intrigued by his expression. Nicely done.

Dan

I am very interested in your comments and suggestions. Thank you. Dan

Brilliant.

Wow. Beautiful shot. I wish I had taken it, which I mean as my highest complement.
