Beautiful. Congratulations.

Mark

The light you have captured is gorgeous, and the image has a nice sense of depth. Very appealing.

Mark

Fresh perspective, and nice detail. Nice!

I think Charles is much too harsh: the light in the clouds is obviously the cener of attention here, and I find it seductively beautiful. Horizon is slightly tilted clockwise, but otherwise I like it.

Handsome bugger. Nice sharp focus on his face.

Cool. Very noir.

Mark

Very cool. I love the soft colors.

This is a scream. What an endearing portrait of your buddy.

Mark

Spectacular sense of depth and openness. Very effective. Nice colors too.

Mark

I like this very much. Simple, evocative, powerful. And it can be interpreted in a number of ways, which makes the viewer think a bit (generally a good thing). Bravo. Thanks for sharing.

Mark

Great pic. How evocative. Well done.

The thing I like most about this image is the relationship between the moonrise and the reflected sunset (just touching the dark horizon line) which is visible in the golden sphere where the base of the cross meets the tip of the dome. Hope you like it.

Beautiful cat! Is BooBoo a Maine Coon?

Mark

from the perspective I'm guesing you shot this from the New Otani. Brings back some very fond memories.

I very much like the tonal range and contrast from left to right.

Thanks for sharing this.

Mark

Holding the lens cap! You've trained your cat to be your photographic assistant. Bravo. (I'm lucky if I can get mine to hold still for a second and look at me). Nice cat portrait.

Mark

Wow. Ever see those pictures from the big nuclear tests which show the expanding shock wave? This reminds me of those. Spooky, but kinda cool.

Mark

I like this image, especially the eagle puppet above the crowd, which makes it clear whose war is being opposed. No disclaimer required.

thanks,

Mark

Haunting image. Thank you,

Mark

I like it too. When I was a kid and my dad was a US officer stationed in Germany, my parents took me to see the Berlin wall. Ever since, I have always found that barbed wire (or now razor wire) evokes strong feelings for me.

Compositionaly, I like the tremendous DOF in your photo which gives the tunnel effect inside the wire (an unusual and somewhat scary perspective),but I also like juxtaposition of the wire with everyday objects like cars. It suggests to me that there is brutality around us every day which - except for photos like this - we might not even notice.

Thanks,

Mark

Conventional advice: A grad filter would help with the exposure. On the other hand, the foreground darkness turns the traffic trails into an abstract stipe which points toward and also kind of echoes the tones of the sky above the horizon. The composition strikes me as appropriate because it allows inclusion of the traffic trail as well as the gradations of colors in the sky. This shot appeals to me.

Already she's criticizing his clothes. Get used to it!
