    Fall-5

    I like how you included the stairs! The fall leaves are beautiful, but I don't think the image would be nearly interesting without the stairs.

    Sunrise at Grenada

    Nice. But a Graduated Neutral Density Filter would help, and sea is not level.
  3. The web version of the web isn't very sharp on my screen. If the big file is sharp, it's a real winner. Could easily be in Nat Geo.

    The background makes it special!

    Winter

    Looking at your photos, I’m pretty sure you already know this, but generally it’s better to underexpose (in digital). It’s easier to bring out the shadows than fix overexposed highlights. I use a 3 tier approach. First I tweak the exposure and shadows in Raw. Then adjust the overall levels in Photoshop, but don’t overdo it. Then the real work begins by selecting the areas of interest with a generous “feather” and re-adjusting the levels. I’ve kind of been out of photography for the last 10 years, so there are probably newer and better methods now. However, since you overexposed on purpose, you probably got the image you wanted.

    Ash

    The colors, the ghostly appearance,....First thought is the Virgin Mary. Upon closer look, not so much. Imaginative and interesting!

    Close to nature ,

    Good subject and framing. Needs a tripod and/ or lens with greater depth of field.

    Arabesq

    Humbling and inspiring at the same time. I enjoy playing in the photonet little league and interacting with the many talented amateurs. This is obviously Big League, World Series, work. Would be a major hit with any magazine cover or museum. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Rare find to have such good subject lighting with a deep dark sky. Excellent job putting it all together!
  12. Good street photography. Looks like fun shoot.
  13. Great photo! Makes you want to get inside her head and find out what's she's thinking.

    Tracks

    Great as is. Have you considered going back with a model?
  15. Job well done in framing several layers of depth. Plus all the elements, jelly fish, mountains, sky work together so that result is much greater than the sum of the parts. BTW, what happens if you fall in the water?
  16. Very interesting street photography! Maybe you should go back and wait for someone to put mail in the mail box.

    Contrast, repetition, imagination!
  18. Nicely seen and photographed. I'm a fan of "the last" theme.

    After some thought, I think the relationship between the model and her sweater puts this photo over the top. For example, I can imagine that her sweater looks like a Knight’s protective chainmail. But instead of cold and hard, it’s really soft and warm. (note: the attention to lighting of the sweater is as good as model lighting.) Likewise, the model’s expression is protective and guarded. But behind those eyes is something soft and warm. This kind of image actually lives up to photonet’s claim “Where Photographer’s inspire each other”!
  20. Perfect catch of the subject! It's so perfect that I don't find the background crowd too distracting,

    I like pictures of people taking pictures, and this is a good one!

    the creek

    I love an image that has a landscape that could stand alone, but has an added subject that stimulates curiosity and story making. Personally, I think too many times photographers get the perfect landscape, and then just throw in a nude. Not that I don’t like nudes, but they just seem to limit deeper thought. Or maybe I’m just jealous because my only model is a blonde doll. Anyway, this model’s eyes are focused on her step, but her mind seems to be in deep thought. I wonder what she's thinking about! If she were nude or looking at the camera, it would be a much less interesting photo. Masterful work!
  23. Great combo of subject placement, background, light.

    Expert lighting, use of focus, model!
  25. If the nuns in Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School looked like this, I still might be catholic. Great image, but it reminds me that I’m going to hell.
