  1. Hey, Carl. Nice shot, reminds me of some of the stuff we used to do in the Atget Circle. I was scrolling through some of my old posts and it brought the circle to mind. I would consider cropping this inside the line on the right and bottom. Tends to distract from the abstract nature of the shot, serving as a frame of reference. Anyway, best wishes!

    While initially eye-catching, I'm afraid the shot doesn't hold up to a closer look. The lighting looks unnatural and the boys look pasted into the shot. I suspect you put a lot of work into it but I have to wonder why...
  2. My only complaint is that the reflection is brighter, near the shore, than the original scene. I don't think there are any situations where you actually see this in the real world. I think that is what bothers some people about this(these) otherwise excellent shot(s).

    Nicely done! I agree with the above comment about the building in the right lower corner but cropping it out would lose a lot of the two-tone mountains in the distance. Overall, excellent shot.

    I agree that the lighting on the volcano is not consistent with the scene. Just doesn't quite work. Without the volcano, would probably have needed a longer lens with a tighter composition.

    Quite frankly, it doesn't look real. And, by all means, let's put it on the front page of photo.net. Who picks the front page photos, anyway?

    Nice travel shot. Well-composed with the line of structures leading off into the distance. I wonder how deep the drop-off is and, hence, wonder if a wider lens, shot in vertical format, would have been able to capture more of the drop-off. Still, excellent as is, and it could be that there wasn't much more to the drop-off than this. Great colors and detail from the 6x4.5 Velvia negative.

    Cold, indeed. I like the composition and the somewhat shallow DOF, which resulted in the near frame being rendered slightly OOF, as is the distance. Just enough contrast as to be dramatic without losing the tones of the snow or the subtle colors of the sky. Good job.

    Nice shot, Steve. Is the morning sun just catching the subjects with the ground largely in shadow? That's how it looks. Compositionally, I kind of wish you'd taken one or two step to the left, creating more of a diagonal from the chair to the trailer. But I don't know what is out of frame to the right... Great light, though.

    Nice shot. That's quite a load. The central composition is not the most flattering. Perhaps moving a little to the left, to get the road ahead as a diagonal and reveal the little girl more. Still, nicely done.
