groovy pic, filled with dreamy allusions to the f. scott fitzgerald epoch... the bust of the model bends in accord with the spare tire on the fender creating an exciting composition. but i respectfully urge: do be sparing in the use of blurring. here her left hand should be left in focus IMO. also, the skin tones of the model have taken on the same banana yellow tones as the car (which suggest hepatitis) tweak the skin tones to contrast vividly with the background... but lucky you: what a fun photo shoot. cheers.

opps, i already commented on this. a casual pass through your portfolio brought me to it again. this picture is just brilliant.

very nice composition and creative coloring and border. the pose is fetching and well-captured-- and tho i cannot pressume to interpret ugur's comment, i concur in the sense that the strand of hair over the models face occludes the direct gaze which would bring the center of interest solidly to the face as opposed to the belt buckle. fun, vivacious image overall. cheers.

sweet towhee. just enough fluff of the breast feathers over the wing to look dapper and daring-- this is the pic our bold suitor will put on his facebook page ;-). confident, handsome, slightly puffed up. nice shot very well framed.

spring comes late to the high country. against a backdrop of winter-red willows and

tenacious snow banks, the trees are wet with melting snow.

why thank you indeed. best wishes to y'all. cheers.

just wait 'til there are 3000, then your comment will seem quaint. but this is a unique and clever study. splendid color and focus, a very cunning and handsome model. bravo.

oh my gosh! i KNOW this bird-- i photographed her too along this waterway. well, one that looks very similar anyway-- she's in my collection of bird photos: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8338305

 

this is cute and well taken, captured in mid-step, it's dynamic and compelling. glad to learn she's well and content. ;-) cheers.

daring and quirky-- just what we seek out in the barrage of same-ness in formulaic photography. splendidly balanced, delightfully colored, vivid, amusing and again: refreshing. bravo.

great shot-- very "designy"-- like a smart and understated shoe ad. splendid example of restrained coloring. tells a visual story and tells it well. bravo.

quality piece of editing, very creative and moody: somewhat lonely yet warming at the same time. bravo.

pretty little world of cyan neatly infiltrated by the warmer tones of the hanging branches. interesting, vivid, yet simple. nice capture. cheers.

another attempt to mimic the woodblock techniques of the great gustave baumann.

thanks for looking.

thanks folks for looking and commenting. the phoebes here this year are close to hatching-- it's a great time of year. best wishes all.

what a great ride! the lighting is cool, as is the sweep of the curb and the atmosphere created by the distant palms. a slow exposure to somewhat blur the crowd might have been an interesting variation. i'd suggest leaving a little more room on the left. nice pic. cheers.

clever and enticing image. there are a number of fascinating aspects, the yellow bag being the most riveting. i also like the yellow stripe along the bottom and the geometric shapes softened by the moving pedestrian. nice unusual picture.

this is a "painted" montage of several photos. should the bird be bigger in the picture?

thanks....

simple yet very telling in it's nice textures and the captivating eyes. well done. cheers.

this is an amazing tree-- and so splendidly isolated that just about any weather mood (well captured) would make a great photo. this autumny background is just such a perfect setting, tho i would have preferred to see the reflections and water ripples "straight"-- that is, rotated slightly counterclockwise. bravo.

this is a groovy piece indeed, the slightly surreal colors, gentle visual flow and tranquil subject. very cool. cheers.

you guys rock! thanks for stopping by-- come see me again when you can! cheers.

hi MJ. thanks for looking and commenting, i appreciate it a great deal.

 

i'm sorry that those who rated this low gave no indication what they think i could have done to improve the image-- i would most certainly have benefitted from any thoughtful critique.
