Samy, I don't comment on too many images as I feel making comments on too many can lower the power of the individual comments made on the truly top-notch images.  This image of yours is what I consider 'top-notch'.  Truly amazing to look at.  So much to find; so much to ponder; so many thoughts of what is going on in each spot; so well composed and exposed.  Thanks for sharing.

Nurhan, I like this image far better than the ratings it has received.  The perspective is very interesting.  I think of this man as walking away from the past and into an unknown future.  The story of life itself.  Well done and well thought out. 

Amal, this little image of yours simply touches my heart.  And I can't think of a better way to communicate life.  

Since putting so much time into my own website I have not been adding any work to photo.net.  But I come here frequently for inspiration.  There is so much talent out there to be recognized.  Ron, with that said I would like to be a bit more specific.  This image is a real winner in my mind.  The way the motion is expressed is about as good as it gets.  Very nicely captured and processed.

I wouldn't change one pixel in this image.  It's stunning... and I wish it were mine.  ;-) 

Karl, there isn't a 'best' way to critique this.  It speaks loudly for itself.  It is a dream of mine to travel to such places and photograph 'their' world.  Not a goal to see their pain, their humble lives, the fear they live under... but a goal to FEEL their pain, their humble lives, and the fear they live under.  And then to share those feelings with others through the magic of photography.  My hat's off to you for sharing this...  my envy peeked because of this opportunity that was given to you.  Thank you.

Lovely softness.  This is NOT meant to take ANYTHING away from the lovely young lady... but, at first glance from neck up I thought for sure it was Michael Jackson arisen.

A stunning and beautiful image. The richness of color and clarity is perfect. Regards from Gary.

Ali, it doesn't get any better than this. So where do you go from here? ;-)

Very creative Jill. I agree totally with Lawrence's take on it. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Gary.

A beautiful image Richard. The perspective and depth of field are perfect. Very nice work. Regards, Gary.

Hello Lawrence. Another stunning example from a man who cares greatly about his photographic work. Rated anon. Regards, Gary.

Hello Carlos. This is a beautifully captured image. Perfect shutter speed and depth of field. I really like the low light which is offset by the contrasting levels of white water. Well done. Rated anon. Regards, Gary.

Beautifully done Lawrence. As small as the eye is in the frame my eyes are still drawn to it because of it's sharp clarity. Fine attention to detail. Rated anon. Cheers, Gary.

Lovely image Gail. I really like the curve in the stream and the trees along the bank at the top of the image. And I must say that I like it because you kept the frame somewhat simple. I believe that greatly improves the power of the image. Nice work. Regards, Gary

Beautiful in it's simplicity. The background muted colors are very complimentary. Terrific work Tony. Regards, Gary

Hi Tony. This is very creative and beautiful. Very much like a fantasy...but real. I was going to point out that the birds are missing from the bottom portion, but you clarified that with your last comment that you took one shot with the birds and one without. Certainly not a 4/4 image in my opinion. But we know how that goes on photo.net. Regards, Gary.

Welcome back Iren !!! So glad to see that you've picked up the camera again. This is really an interesting and well-timed image. I've seen many insects on phot.net...but, this is the first of these guys I've seen. Can't tell if they are "in love"...or mortal enemies. All left to the imagination. Looks tack-sharp right where it needs to be, along with a muted background of nice complementary colors. Cheers from Gary in Salt Lake City.

What a lovely perspective Dr. So much of this one is out of the ordinary...and that's what makes it so appealing. Very simple while at the same time having lots of impact. I'd rate this 6/7 if you were allowing ratings on it. Cheers from Gary in Salt Lake City.

Hello Lawrence. Another interesting capture. This poor man looks like he's seen better days. And you've captured that very well. Thank you for your response to my email. I'm in agreement with you on the points you made. Cheers from Gary.

Hello Steve. This image literally stopped me in my tracks while I was doing anon ratings. Top-notch work here. Her eyes are stunning. Her whole persona striking. And the way you've captured it is perfect. This will be added to my favorites. Regards from Gary in Salt Lake City.

Hello Razi. Simply a wonder image you've made here. Kids going to school, the old man checking his oil, and the woman at the window all come together and make this a great street image. The lighting and exposure are perfect. And the detail is very fine. Great work!!! Cheers from Gary in Salt Lake City.

Hello Facundo. What a terrific capture of a very interesting looking woman. I'd love to hear what she just said...or is about to say. The grey tones are very nice in the image. Cheers from Gary in Salt Lake City.

Hello Giangiorgio. You certainly snapped the shutter at the right time on this one. The eye's are tack-sharp. A little unfortunate to have the somewhat busy background, although the depth of field keeps it to a minimum. When photographing birds we don't have much choice about what is behind them when they are at their best for a photograph. Well done, my Cagliari connection. Cheers from Gary in Salt Lake City.

Hello Mujahid. I really love your idea here. The lighting on the boy is wonderful. A little more light on the girl's face would be helpful. The white vertical post in the middle I would like to see go away. The image would be considerably stronger without it's presence. Nevertheless a well thought out and planned image. Regards from Gary in Salt Lake City.
