I love it! 7/7. (I would only try to remove the double outline on the body specially around the legs if possible). -
Comments and critique welcome. Scan from a b/w 36mm negative. -
Lovely. Very good and easy balance, natural and smooth. Lovely pose and shapes all very well marked. Nice and warm light, color and skin tone. Regards. -
Very .... erotic, in it own little way. Beautiful photo and a very original setup. Regards. -
I like the light (and composition) it very much, what setup for light did you use? Regards. -
Jim, I have seen some of your wide angle approaches, and I think this one is very very nice. I'm actually quite surprised to see a wide angle working so well. May i say; "you did it"! Congratulations! It's not "far out" it's superb. Regards. -
Absolutely excellent. Nice texture, light and color. Being very picky; the crop is very tight, and maybe a bit to tight, the format is very narrow. It all depends on the final use. Perspective on her forehead also seems a little bit strange. Suggestion; crop just above her eyebrow, and widen the image to the sides a little (even fill black to the left for more space). Just some thoughts. Brilliant photo, congratulations. Regards.

Sorry Joshua, I don't know enough about b/w conversion to give you a definite answer. Maybe Tony can? But I think Tony is right about including absolute white and black (except in some rare cases with very light or dark images). The point is, that a bad conversion will give you an unnatural and dull looking image with no "punch" (and I have seen plenty of examples). Try use Layer>new adjustment layer>channel mixer, it will give you the benefit of being able to redo the setting any time you want. For color correction my favorite is; Layer>new adjustment layer>levels, and then I adjust each color separately, and finally I adjust the RGB level for brightness control. Regards.

a very beautiful photo. I like it, but the skin seems to bright, loosing texture and shades. I imagine this is converted from color and I think I wouldn't brighten the red tones so much in the b/w conversion. Excellent. Regards.

Gee if just everybody would ask for critique like you do! IMO Alpo is right about that the soft tone is nice here, but maybe a bit more contrast is needed, and btw I find converting to b/w very difficult. By "channel mixer" do you refer to the new function for b/w conversion in ps c3? Regards.

I do like the light on the wheels, but I find the sun stroked part on the right very disturbing. Sun is hight so no easy remedy. IMO I would try to darken left down (and upper) corner in ps or even crop but at a high price, since the perspective would be lost. Regards. -
Very, very beautiful. And a great portfolio too! Que Maravilla! Felicidades. -
Very nice! There is something about the horizontal tilt that I'm not quite sure about. I tried to some different tilts in ps; with the horizon straight, changing the tilt to the other side, even exaggerating this tilt. Is this a crop or is this the full image? If you have some more space, I would try to experiment a bit more with the tilts. And maybe not be afraid to crop parts of the cars, if you can achieve even more sensation of speed... just some thoughts. Regards. -
Very beautiful! I like it a lot. It think that this kind of picture is perfect for the use of the HDR technique. There are some very nice HDR pictures uploaded by some other users. Try have a look at for example Dan Person's work for inspiration, if you are interested. Regards.

One of a kind. Simple. Simply perfect. 7/7. -

What I like the most is the double (actually triple) wave on the shore and the red reflection on the water. Also the coming shadows on the cliff. Wonder what it would look like closer to sunset. Regards.

I believe that you ask if it's to centered on the horizontal line. IMO no, it's quite nice like it is, but maybe to "centered" on the vertical line. In this particular case, i don't think the lower part with the sand is needed , and could be cropped (halfway to the stub), moving the eye and attention to the upper and, IMO, more interesting part of the image. Regards. -
Very nice photo. I love vases. Composition is nice and calm. Not sure, maybe a bit to much highlight on the left vase. Personally I don't like the color of the border, but that's just my taste to that green. I would try black, maybe combined with a redish color close to the red colors of the vases. Regards. -
Shame on you, don't apologies for taking or uploading a very nice photo, even if it's a sunset or a duck, or bother about thinking that others might have done it better. Where would we be, if everybody did that? Enjoy what ever you do, with no hesitation or second thought to what others might think or do. I like your Tufa Panorama. Period. Cliffs are crisp and color is nice. Nice portfolio btw, keep shooting. Best wishes to your wife. Regards. -

Hi Paul
First things first: I like it. Second, I believe it might have a slight green cast (?) And that you still can apply some more levels (or curves) to make it more alive... more snap (bit more work in the darkroom :). best regards...
