Really like this black and white, great photo of a beautiful woman. Wouldn't change a thing other than being sure of really sharp focus on the face (could just be my computer)!

For some reason I always find myself drawn to photographing doors and walls like these and this is a great choice of wall/door. I never have people in the shot and am asking myself in this case, does the woman walking by add to the shot? I am really not sure. Guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the picture. Nice job, well done!

HR

They are indeed an amazing collection of Chihuly. Thanks for the critique and compliments!

HR

Just a beautiful photo. Congratulations. Would look great on the wall!

HR

Wonderful picture with nice composition, wonderful color and human story.

I assume you meant to include the man in the back. Thats why for me there are 2 stories here. The clear one being the compassion, trust, etc. between two people. The second message for me is that in their generation people often have each other for a lifetime; I fear the next generation will only be emotionally tied to their personal technology forever. But who knows? Very thought provoking picture I think.

I too would clone out the strands of hair away from her head. Otherwise a really nice photo: good light control (though the left side a little blown out), contrast and composition---not to mention a really beautiful woman.

A beautiful picture capturing a beautiful woman. Great lighting, contrast and composition!

HR

Well-done. Certainly tells the story. I like the composition and use of selective color, works well here.

Hi Laura,

   I am always pulled into your photos. This one in particular I feel has some of the richest colors and lighting I have noted in your work. As always the expression and mood is powerful. For me the setting, lighting and color is really nice in this shot. Congratulations,

HR

This I find appealing. Nice collection of shapes, lighting, colors, angles and intersections. Well-imagined and well-executed.

HR

Thanks for your feedback!

HR

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I like this very much. I also live in the southeast and see lots of structures like this. I think they tell lots of stories and for a long time I have wanted to photograph them as a series but laziness has gotten in the way. Your picture inspires me to get on with it!

HR

Again a really nice long exposure sea shot. The lights on the horizon really add to it in my opinion.

Had the chance to cruise the Baltic and visit your beautiful town of Tallinn last August. Seeing lights at a great distance on the Baltic was not uncommon and very pretty!

HR

I think this is a beautiful picture. Excellent composition, exposure and contrast. Well-seen and well photographed.

HR

Thanks for your time and critique! Happy New Year!

HR

Just a gorgeous picture of a beautiful woman.

HR

What you can't see is the paper bag with a bottle in it next to him on the bench. A sad picture actually. But he was enjoying his pipe quietly.

HR

Thanks Maurizio. I appreciate your thoughts!

HR

Tommy thanks for the kind compliment. I barely caught the fog before it lifted.

Scott you make some good points. The water, shown not so well here, was so glassy it was reflective and drew my attention thus the horizon. The original picture was even more panoramic and I made a judgement to crop it to highlight what I felt where the best portions of the shot.

Thanks for the thoughtful critiques.

HR

As always this is striking, Laura. Very dark in lighting and message. This is definitely a look back "in vain". Difficult to look at but really well-done on a tough assignment. Your commitment to your photos is remarkable.

ps cute dress

I like this. Well-seen and captured. The profile is great and the blemish in the plaster adds interest---is that what he is looking at?

HR

I always appreciate your reactions and feedback. Thanks for taking the time!

Best regards,

HR
