nice shot, but the dark line along the bottom  is off putting, I`m not sure what its doing there, but if you crop it, the image will be much better.

lovely image - ii really like thee pov and the perspective.  the sky is a  little bright on the left  hand side, maybe add  a grad  filter in lightroom, which could  also bring out  even more  detail in the sky.

Nice image, nice use of colour, lighting, reflection -- well done!

Cute photo, the only improvement i can suggest is that if dof were a bit shallower, the subject  would standout from the background a little more.

nice image - good use of colour and pattern.  There are some dust  spots in the sky which are a little distracting, but could bee easily removed with lightroom or photoshop.

i really like this image, great capture!  I  feel like  this could  be part of a series of 8-10 images that would demonstrate those feelings we all momentariily have towarrds  others, I`d love to see that...

i like the colour here - it is really beautiful light - is it dawn or dusk?   i am guessing that the image  is pretty  heavily cropped (seeing as it was  taken with a fisheye lens), I`d be interested to see a version a little  less cropped, it may give more of a feeling of wide open space. 

i really like this photo - fantasticc use of shallow dof  - for me it gives it a real spiritual quality

Nice street capture

Hi Pnina,

Thanks - I'm new here, and still learning about photography, I can see (now) what you are getting at with this image, thanks for explaining - it helps too photographic education :)

Great use of repetition and differences, a very pleasing image.

Great use of lighting to create amazing contrast between highlight and shadow, And amazing lines and shapes created by the subject's body.  Thanks for posting this Branxton, it is great to be able to examine great art like this!

cheers,

russell

great shot - how did you do it?

Really interesting composition, I love the comparison of the girl and the dog - sleek lines against soft furry outline, rib cage visible in model and dog obviously well fed...  The only thing I thin may improve it would be a little bit stronger lighting on the girl, but this is a very minor improvement suggestion.

Cheers,

Russell

The composition is superb, but I feel uneasy with the lighting... The subject's ear is in highlight and her nearest eye is in shadow (for example), it makes the image uncomfortable to view - not sure if this s what you were going for, but I think it detracts from a great composition.  Since it looks unposed, not sure there's anything you could actually do about this, maybe shoot from the other side, but this up señor give the same strong compositional elements... 

Thanks for your kind words, that's what I was going for.  Also, just grateful the expression wasn't "who's that dude poking the camera in our face" :)

Keen to hear any views... Particularly suggestions and improvements.

Thanks,

Russell

What a great shot!  Superbly lit, and great use freezing motion, it's the kind of shot I hope to get to be day!

I love this image, great shot, great example of waiting for and capturing the decisive moment :)   I wish I could contribute and suggest improvements, but I think this is perfect so all I can contribute is my best wishes!

cheers,

Russell

Great image  - superb example pod the "decisive moment" - really nothing I can suggest - maybe a polarising filter to remove the window reflections, but that is only a small I matter.

cheers,

Russell

Lovely shot - the only improvement I can see is that is may be better if the light was a little bit more in his eye socket rather than the top of his head.

cheers,

Russell

Great shot, my personal opinion is that this would be even better as a high contrast black and white image - would be keen to see it processed that way.

cheers,

Russell

Great shot, the only minor improvement I can think of is that the blonde would benefit from a little more light into her eyes, but otherwise great shot!
