the quality of light really makes the photo. It stands out well against the cloudcover. I like the composition as well the more I look at it.

I took this photo a week ago in my back garden and I keep coming backto it so I thought I'd share it.

I like seeing the world from Kiera's eyelevel, it's made me appreciatemany things. I did have to drop the camera to stop her from eatingone of these flowers right after I took this ;)

the clouds behind the church give a great almost 3D-like seperation between the church and the sky.

We were standing near the entrance to Edinburgh Castle when I looked

over at my wife and baby daughter and saw this very natural look, i

quickly raised my camera and captured the moment.

this was really handheld at 1 second, but I was bracing the camera against a fence. The colour cast comes from the weird sodium vapour lighting and how the digicam handled it. I like the end result as well. Thanks !

very dramatic landcape here.

i really like the perspective here and how the texture of the stone is brought out.

I took this shot in my studio last night. I like how the composition

and lighting turned out. What do you think ? I have the rest of

the third trimester to work on this project ;)

A photo of my neighbour's daughter at 8 months. This is her dad's

helmet from when he went to Quebec to help during the ice storm.

I found these rocks balancing on the beach, and as I was composing,

a kid who had been playing nearby started to work on his own

sculpture. Due to the infrared process the shutter speed was a

slow 1/15th, shot handheld. Even though the leftmost rock is a

tiny bit cut off, does the picture still work for you?

I was moving around in the reeds, trying to find interesting

compositions with the clouds that day. I think I found one.. This

was taken with a digital camera which can record in color infrared.

Polarized sunglasses. Color digital infrared.

Hi - in response to those who haven't seen my work before, this is the way infrared images come out of my camera when shooting in color mode, I have been exploring false-color infrared for some time now, and beyond a auto-levels, there is no post-processing. I enjoy working in infrared because it lets me move away from reality and create a certain surreality in my images.

the lines draw you into the photo and up the steps, great view.

a beautiful natural fractal.

the angle here is intriguing - and disconcerting.

of the two compositions you have online of this location, I prefer this one. The foreground detail and the quality of color really add to the surrealness of the long exposure of the smoke plume. I like the image as it is and would not crop it.

This might not be what you had in mind, but my condo building is just a ways up the frame from the steeple. Sitting as I am within your photograph, I cant help but be in awe of the sheer size and sprawl of the city which I dont consider often enough because i'm looking at it from ground level all the time.

This is the RC Harris Filtration Plant, better known as the

Waterworks in Toronto. I grew up not far from this building, and it

has been a long running theme in my work. I've probably shot

hundreds of images on the grounds there. But when I took this shot,

I feel i've captured the architecture here properly for the first

time. The building is from the 1940's, and this shot from 2002

really feels like the 40's to me.

having this image defocused creates a lovely mystery for the viewer

I lived in montreal for three years and never saw this view. Excellent use of IR to highlight the sculpture.

I really like this composition, the detail in the sky looks stunning, I wish there was a larger scan available so I could see all the detail that is in the lovely print you made.

I wouldn't say the tree is too close to the edge here, if it were centered, I think this photo would be less strong. There is a vastness of sky, but I dont think that is a deficit here, it's a marvelous blue with nice cloud detail.

What are we critiqueing here? The photograph or the sculpture? This is a (admitted well done) document of a item, not an interpretation of it.

The bird makes the shot, but the excellent detail and contrast in the stone road make the shot come together for me.
