just honest.

Gordon! This has me screaming with laughter! You ARE a photographer!

Good gravy! Have you magic powers?

C-section flashbacks!

Alberta's first sentence said it all.

 

I've been working on developing my critiquing skills, but Gordon....sometimes commentary is superfluous.

 

What Albert said.

Hello! Damned if you don't show flashes of brilliance! Creative, personal, intense, beautiful....and those words describe the image, too!

Oh, now, this is striking. The contrasts are bold, and the details very nice. For example, the three studs shining through the shadows that envelope her left ear are surprising. They add interest without undue distraction, I think.

The repeating patterns of circles, ovals, and lines are mesmerizing.

Damn!

 

 

Wow!

 

 

 

Gordon, your portfolio always humbles me. I feel like a star-struck high schooler when I view your images.

I still yearn for a less centered composition, but this photo draws me like a magnet. That means something important.

You paint with a camera.

 

And you inspire.

Another person who finds wine glasses fascinating! B&W works well, as does the dof.

Stunning.

I love the lines, the composition, that it's in black and white. I do wonder what a lighter contrast would render. I'd love to see more texture, more detail.

Posting for easier access to photo for review.

I like the "deadness" of the gray grass (weed-stuff!). The flowers seem to be tentatively yet defiantly (I know, I know!) forcing their way out into the world. It nicely communicates how early spring is so tentative, yet inexorable.

 

Contradictions. That really is what this season is, isn't it?

But,Charles....the scratch lends realism.

Good gravy, David....you know better than to listen to me!

 

I like it a lot.

Joe, add me to the fan list. Wow.

He looks downright...impish!

David is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

You stinker! This looks familiar!

 

Wonderful job and your composition is flawless! The only thing I dislike is that you did it better than me! LOL!

I love this photo, but I think a bit off center would increase interest. Or a tilt?

Please give your model a message for me? I've come back to look at this a few times. Looking at him, I get a feeling of comfort, a "coming home," a sense of this is a man I'd like to know.

 

Really well done, Ian.

When I return to an image and I like it as well or better on subsequent viewings, I know it's a very special image.

 

This one fits that nicely.
