    Your photos are unlike anything i've ever seen in my life! The images in your portfolio are truly amazing, and help me to appreciate and connect with nature at a deeper level! Thanks so much for sharing!

    You have a very clear and passionate vision displayed in your portfolio, Haleh. I enjoy the warm colors and evocative feel to your images. At times I find myself wishing that there was less fade to background so I could see more details, but I guess you do want to leave something up to the imagination.

     

    Great works! I'm going to keep looking through your many portfolios and add you to my interesting people!

    For those of you who are BW Fine Art printing gurus, I'd appreciate

    your suggestions/comments on the tonality of this image for

    preparation to make a fine art BW print for exhibition.

     

    Everyone else, your suggestions/comments are welcome also.

  1. Hi Rufus, Photo.net is really a great website! It has something for just about every kind of photography you can imagine. I've been a member for 4 years, and it's still my favorite destination on the Internet, because of my love of photography and learning.

     

    It's a great photo! The black border is a little too big for my taste, and b/c the subject is so far in the distance, the image is too small to appreciate the fine details you have captured.

     

    Post some more of your favorite, and keep up the good work!

    sure it fits. It's a landscape portrait. I'd reccommend going with a 105mm or longer lens next time though, so you can crop your subject tighter. Portraits of people should fill up more of the frame so at lease some of the chachteristics of the person are visible.

    Cranes

    IMO the deep shadows on the northeast side of the cranes cause this image to lack depth and dimension. Try retaking the shot earlier in the day, so you can get more light/warmth on the dark areas of the crane.

     

     

  2. Rescanned using my Nikon LS 5000. Interested in your

    comments/suggestions on the final output. My previous post of this

    image severely lacked details in the shadow, which I recovered using

    Digital Enhance in the Coolscan software.

    Port Townsend

    One of a series of landscape shots taken in Port Townsend, Wa. I

    have rescanned these on my Nikon Coolscan 5000 and am very interested

    in your comments/suggestions on the final output.

  3. I used BW Workflow Pro to create tone this image. I debated whether

    to do a Sepia+selenium tone, or to just keep it how it is. How does

    this work for you? Would you add or change anything to this image?

    Honestly, guys, Photo.net is for photographers helping photographers. This is definately graphic art, not photographic art. I'm not saying it's wrong to create art like this, I'm just saying that the digital imaging and graphic art is and should remain in a separate realm than traditional photography. This is NOT the future of photography. Or perhaps you want to create a $4.00 disposable camera that my kids can buy from Wal Mart, and this is what that $4.00 camera will create? Photography is about capturing memories of our lives in the realm of reality, not fantasy or surrealism. If you are tired of real photography, go tell that to your wife and children, and your childrens children. Aren't you in effect telling them, "Hey am no longer interested in preserving my memories of you and our lives together on film, so I am throwing away my camera and never taking a photo image of you again." Technological changes will not change our desire to have photography capture the people in our lives in a real and literal fashion. Technological advances may improve the quality of such an image, but they won't look like this artists work.

     

    Great work Lassie, you are worlds away from us earthy "photographers"

     

    May your PC have much ram and your imagination be wild!

    This is not a photograph. It is a composite overlay constructed like a graphic artist would create a logo or an advertisement. There is no doubt whether or not it is an attractive piece of art, or that this artist is very talented, but I am dissappointed that this was chosen as a photo of the week because of the extent this image was manipulated. Does this set a precedent for future photos of the week, such that unless significant maniuplation and graphic overlay is used, it is not good enough?

     

    Of course the image creates an emotion and response from the viewer, but why don't we just post still frames from movies, or artist sketches to create the emtional response?

     

    Show me the negative. This image does not look like a photograph. I can't believe that people like this image so much!!! C'mon people, either call this website digitalphoto.net, or start posting real photos!!

    Looking at the colors in the clouds, the contrast seems a bit much.

    Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I gave this image a low score for originality because this is a scene that everybody sees who walks along the sidewalk around the needle. Astheticaly, it's just okay (the branches don't do anything for me.)

     

    Perhaps you can try using Kodak E 100VS next time, and get your film cross processed just to add a twist to this very familiar sight. Give something interpretive or creative that nobody has seen before to make this more interesting.

     

    I created a similar image, but took it using BW film for drama, and a little bit of old school look. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2014812 I don't think my image is all that great, because I was lazy and took it from my car in the drive way, shooting out of my sun roof. this monument has been photographed so often that it is really hard to find an original perspective.
