Trisha,

thank you so much for your heartfelt comment to my photograph! I am glad it made you smile :-)

very interesting photograph and juxtaposition of at least three different layers of reality. The composition is great and the similarity of the main motif (man on the bench) with the motifs inside the picture frames is intriguing! In that sense this photograph gains a slight surreal touch, which also reminds me of the works of the dutch graphic artist M.C.Escher, where he also demonstrated intertwining layers/worlds of reality and recurring patterns.

great atmosphere captured in this quiet cityscape! Very effective composition as well.

interesting duo portrait with great composition and black&white rendition! It's very nice how the trolley on the right balances the two women on the left (composition-wise).

Best regards,

Nikita

Benjamin, Ruud, Tony, Marie and Maurizio,

John,

thank you very much for your visit and critique!

The "grey" of the photograph is intentional as the lady is supposed to "disappear" behind the curtain while I was also trying to give the scene a very subtle, almost ghostly, appearance.

Great black&white photograph with very strong composition and the most unusual child's pushchair! Also great expressions captured of both the man and his child.

very beautiful flower photograph! I like the radial gradient of sharpness and colour stretching from the flower's centre, which gives the scene a certain vibrant feel of expansion. Great composition as well!

Tony,

thank you very much for your compliment on my black&white work. It is appreciated! I do indeed enjoy working with forms, structures and their interconnection with people, which often is best shown in black&white.

Best regards,

Nikita

Thank you very much for your visit and comment, Ruud!

an interesting study of indoor space with the portrait being implemented very effectively into the scene! Great composition and black&white rendition!

A sublimely composed photograph with the elements defined and placed in such a way that this scene appears to be more surreal than a representation of reality. Timeless and beautiful.

Great portrait of an elderly couple!  Their integration into the environment as well as your composition make for a more serene picture, allowing the viewer to concentrate solely on the human emotions. Beautiful black&white rendition as well!

Best regards,

Nikita

very beautiful portrait of this trio, Tony! The muted colours and the soft focus work very well here, setting your image apart from a mere nature documentary style and into fine art category.

Best regards,

Nikita

great dynamic capture with interesting use of focal length and composition, Ruud!

Best regards,

Nikita

Jack,

I appreciate your extensive critique of this photograph and your many interesting thoughts regarding the motif.

It's fascinating how you connected this image to the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", as it was exactly the monolith (or the artifact) from this motion picture I've been thinking about when taking and processing this photo!

With best regards,

Nikita

We had an amazingly dramatic weather for a couple of days here and I just wanted to capture some settings using such an opportunity.
