Very nicely done. I've got a shot sort of like this one, but I like yours better. I immediately decided against the colored water because of obvious problems with coloring the tank water. You went straight ahead and did it. Bold.

I like this becuase it is at the same time clean and simple, and there is a lot going on. It seems the glass was buzzing or ringing entering the water, with the disruptions on the sides of the water tunnel.

I've gotta do this again. This is a good time.

I feel this is strong work. I like how the light fades slightly off to the left here. I think I would like it more if the drummer looked like he was in action. I don't know if he is playing here but it looks fairly static.

Of course if that is what you were looking for, then forget me.

I'm curious as to which part of this is a photo, and which part is not. An interesting image to be sure, but I'm not sure I would qualify this as a photograph, even by the most liberal of definitions.

I never get people sitting in my splashes. Maybe I just need to work harder at it. This is nicely done with cloud-person like splash. Kind of freakish, really.

I don't know what you did to do this, but it scared the bejesus out of me. Now I've gotta sleep with the lights on holding my teddy bear.

Thanks a bunch.

I think the framing here is fantastic. It might be about a stop too dark (can't tell from here), but everything else about this I like.

Nice inclusion of the wax. Very nice, high contrasty kinda thing. Cool.

This is fantastic. I think the ratio of male to female figures are 100:1 on this site, but I would like to see more of these.

I really like the tilt and the shutter speed here, as well as the fact that you have one figure still in the chaos.

Soft focus is sometimes good for portraits, but you posted this a bit too small, so it might just be too out of focus, or the pixels are obscuring the fine details. Tough to tell.

This is very nicely done. I'm impressed you were able to get such a long shutter speed in bright daylight. Also, compositionally, you have several diagonals here that draw the eye throughout the photo, and the touch of blue at the top is a nice touch.

This is nicely done, but the whole thing feels about a stop too dark. One more stop and the slight bit of detail in the foreground could come out to improve this a bit. The horizon is also bang in the middle of the shot.

Just incredible composition. This would have been nice without the cyclist, but with the cyclist you get a balanced image that adds some drama with the diagonal of the windmill blade.

I'm not sure what you were looking for here, but with her hair over her face, it almost looks like she's covered with webbing or something. It is a bit strange.

It's tough to shoot a common landmark like this one and come up with something original. Unfortuneately, the bridge is seriously tilted which I feel detracts from what would otherwise be a very nice shot.

October 30, 2002

I feel that you either are too close or too far out. There is a sort of middling composition here that needs a bit of work.

October 8, 2002

This is almost there. I just wish the faces of the firefighters were in focus. Everything else is bang-on.

That's an amazingly small frog. I had no idea they got so small.

I thought it was fun without the shoulders, just a couple legs floating out there in space.

I think this is fabulous. Subtle coloring and a very simple sensuality here. Sometimes it's better to hint at something than to blatanly just show it. I feel this is an example of this in practice.

September 13, 2002

You can see right away that this is not a shot from a show. There are missles and bombs here, and this is deadly serious. I agree about including more of the plane here, but it is an excellent shot.

September 12, 2002

This is very clever. I can't help thinking that a multiple exposure of several shorter shots would have been more effective, but this is excellent and well concieved.

September 12, 2002

Aaagghhh, I hate this. Don't get me wrong now, I love the shot, it absolutely displays everything I hate. Corporate work in the cube warren. I think you effectively showed the communal isolation of the modern workplace. Well done.

September 12, 2002

I do like it despite the heavy processing. It almost has a "city on fire" feel to it.

September 3, 2002

I feel this is quite sultry, but the ligting is a bit harsh. The contrast is flat, but that's nothing to worry about, as it is a fairly high-key image. All in all, I like it. A nice departure for you.
