Beautiful candid portrait.

This is both interesting and beautiful - a very untraditional sort of landscape that still capture serene beauty. 6/6 Are those volcanic formations, or something manmade?

Wow. That's quite the shot - how you get her to pose like that for you?

And he huffed, and he puffed, and Brownie blow Goldie away...

What were they looking at?

Beautiful! Was the light source a car's headlight?

Thank you for your comments and critiques!

Thanks for comments / ratings!

Nice skyline effect.

What an adorable idea!! Very creative, I love it!

I like the row of flags - adds some nice color. However all the people have me trying to figure out what the main subject of this image is. Is it that woman on the left? The man in the yellow shirt? Zeroing in on one or two people can make a street scene more interesting. Cheers, Elaine.

Nice night shot, well exposed and framed. Could use it for a travel/tourism site.

Beautiful capture of an everyday scene. I love how both parents are turned away, the older child (the girl) is in profile, and the youngest, the boy, is looking right into the lens. There's just enough context (the glimpse of the handlebars, the truck) to know what is going on, but not so much that the faces get lost.

 

Just a couple of suggestions. I think a square format would work well for this shot: there's some extra space on either side that isn't really adding anything. Also, perhaps burn around the edges a bit to put more of a focus on the kids in the middle.

 

Excellent work!

Ahh, nostolgia. I STILL love this photo. So much fun, so much life, and what looks like a really cool pool. Cheerio!

Incredibly striking. So beautiful and dynamic I really don't have much else to say. This one will stick in my memory.

What a great shot, very dramatic and moody. Translates well in black and white. Perhaps a touch more contrast would crispen it up?

I like this one a lot. YOu can just imagine her doing her wash for decades. Nice composition and color.

I love the silhouette of the girl, the line of the walls, but the car, I think, doesn't add anything. I think that a cropped version of this - perhaps w/a little perspective correction in Photoshop - would be much stronger. What do you think?

Congrats, Dariusz! Much deserved.

 

This is a great image, but it's the series that really shines. I think "Feel the Wind" and "Welcome" are even stronger, although this one is a bit more painterly, almost like an old tintype. I'd love to hear about some of the techniques used to get this effect.

Modern fairy castle.

Beatiful tones and colors and a nice casual moment. This is a nice shot of your model laughing; did you get any shots like this except with her eyes open? Good job on the exposure and focus.

Critiquers please note: I did NOT take this photo - it is an old family photo which I restored and colorized from the scan above. Please provide comments on the RESTORATION, not the actual photo. Many thanks!

Wow! is my reaction to this. It took me a while to sort out the perspective, which is very intrigue in. At first I thought I was looking out horizontally onto some kind of long ledge, then I figured it out. Very, very creative. The pattern of lines, the "window", the vaugue figure to the left...this is a 7/7 photo, which I give out very rarely. I look forward to exploring more of your work.

Looks like he's trying to hang on in a strong wind!

I'm glad the clothes are above and the birds below!
