Look at mine right above yours in the critique forum....we seem to enjoy the same colors.....yours - nice shot!
-
just really like this...the pastel colors....the composition....the 50ish vibe....
thanks for posting
-
cool idea
-
really, really nice and this just looks so natural.....
I really appreciate the "spot on" approach here (no leaden HRD sky, flaming sunrise etc) and the composition is great...would like to have been there
-
amazing sky...did you use a CP ??

our four "friends" that shaded the driveway for all our lives in Southboro have been taken down.....we miss them.you won't believe it when you drive up today

when gas costs $50 per gallon...this is our future..
dig the bike barely hanging on the back there....bet the owner is thinking, "I'd be better off peddling across this sand box"
you know the joke:
Q. - how many (3rd world country of your choice) can fit into a (compact car of your choice) ?
A. - all of them!
oh yeah....nice shot!!

boy does this look great blown up on my 23" monitor at work.....thanks for posting a large file.......nice....what a city view.....
-
fine contrast between your wall (modern painting abstract feel) and the natural world
excellent composition as well as great rendition of tones and textures....
this is an outstanding shot
how do you do the relief shadow effect...is it a PS action ??
thanks for posting

you will find lot of people think blur and motion should be avoided......but it really adds to some photos and your is a great example of that..... for me this says a lot more about what it is like to really play a guitar than if the shot was really static......
one of the photo gods Ernst Haas was famous for his motion shots:
http://www.ernst-haas.com/introduction3.html -go to color gallery and then motion
I don't have much of a portfolio yet but I did post a folder of shots I took at stage side of a band in a club in Boston and the light was so low that I got blur no matter but that was I good thing....

keep it up

nice over all effect....how are you doing this ??
I would have included a little more of the base of the building if possible either in the original framing of the shot (wider angle if the lens was a zoom) or in looser cropping if you did crop....or just take a few steps back......in your portfolio you have a shot "the roofs of prague" (i think) same effect, better composition than this one if I may say
but nice mysterious mood over all
your portfolio is marvelous and so extensive and you live in beautiful circumstances- I really have no business critiqueing you at all.....I am just starting....
I am with you about sometimes using technique that softens or smears the details, or even just camera motion....photographs are often much too clear....
best luck

how are you shooting B+W.....I took a look at your web site as well as your P.net portfolio....nice to see the film color rendition and nice work altogether....I still shoot slides with my old F3 when I want a treat...its just so easy with the simple old cameras....if you ever go digital you will just be shocked at how hard it is just to fire off a shot with all the menues and buttons...maybe stick with what you know because clearly it works by the evidence of your potfolio
I can just spy the Tetons in the distance and it reminds me of the years after college (U of Denver) I spent up in Frisco, Colo. building condos in the very early 70's and generally having a wild time as a young man.....lots of my friends (ok we were hippies I guess) lived in all sorts of old mine claim buildings up there on the western slopes in those years basically just squatting....some of these old shacks had nearly as much air conditioning as yours above.....it was a good time to be young, I think, despite the war (there always seems to be a war)......
I am an eastcoaster raised in NJ and have ben in the Boston area for a generation raising 4 boys with my wife - but your pictures take me back to when I finally got away from the ocean for a while and lived up in the really big hills...thanks

wild old building......agree that the sky is a little to blown out....think you might have included a little more of the forground in your shot o give us more of a feeling of the building being planted in its surroundings...but nice shot

Well this is a quirky shot (not a bad thing necessarily)......very simpatico expression..... not well supported by the false dreads and rasta cap ...... and the background (is this a mask??) is just so blank......in fact would rather keep the beautiful expression and dump the hat, the dreads, and replace the green nothingness with a nice rattan screen or something on that order......beautiful happy (or is it sad?) soulful expression....
