  1. Hello Pierre

    Looks like a great place for photos. I like the idea of fading out of the edges but I suggest using a less harsh transition. I made some quick edits to enhance the image closer to my preferences anyway perhaps not yours. I cloned out the buoys or boats on the left edge, tried to smooth out the transitions. Brightened and added contrast to the shadow side of the buildings and put a bit of colour back in the sky and levelled the buildings they were sloping slight down to the left. Posted it here.  Suggested edit of Pierre Bury photo "Si l'épidémie s'étend, la morale s'élargira aussi."

    Just my 2 cents.

    Regards

    Hello Siamak

    I like the simplicity and framing and the backlighting. However the image is let down by the lack of sharpness of the leaves. I don't know if it's due to focus or subject movement but they are very soft and lack detail. 

    Regards

    Hello Marcin

    Excellent image and well done technically. I love these kinds of images and you have a great portfolio. These kinds of images require great imagination because it's all in the mind of the artist and you bring into being. This kind of image doesn't appeal to everyone of course. I find them to be much more interesting because you are trying to figure out the image and your response to what you perceive the story to be. Of course with this type of image the interpretations can vary wildly according to the mindset of the viewer. Great work.

    Cheers

    Hello Nebojsa

    A nice abstract image. I like the framing and composition. The man made delineated against the natural.  A suggestion I would make is curves layer to get some details into the dark area. They are blocked up and have little detail in them and then a boost in the saturation of the rocks brings out the colours a bit and I think helps tie the image together a bit better. My 2 cents.

    Cheers

    Hello Jeff

    A nice capture of a street scene. I like the zoom effect to focus attention on the subject and the darkening of the surround elements to remove some of the visual clutter from people in the background etc. I do find the drums and guitars that surround him still to be competing for attention. I might try toning them down and reducing the saturation to focus the viewers attention more on the player. Might not be your cup of tea but I feel it helps stop the viewers attention from wandering away from the subject. My 2 cents.

    Cheers

    Hello

    A very nice image, well done. I like the great DOF, the lead in to the photo from the patterns, the colors, detail, time of day. Everything works well.

    Cheers

    Hello

    A great capture. Leopards seem to like watching for potential prey from these termite hills. I was watching a nature show on these amazing animals and they apparently have the highest success rate of the cats on catching prey. I love the subject, the eye contact/ framing and pp work. The only suggestion I would have is to boost the detail/brightness/contrast a bit on the leopards head. The overall contrast is a bit low and I don't find it a problem. Just bumping it up a bit on the head area would help the overall impact a bit I feel. My 2 cents.

    Cheers

  2. Hello

    Very dramatic. I like the movement in the  water that leads the viewer into to photo, the framing and the dark brooding sky. I like everything about it except I find it too dark overall for my taste. I'd like to see some more detail in the rocks and the upper right dark clouds and contrast in the water. My 2 cents.

    Cheers

    Hello

    Nice tranquil scene. I like the complimentary colors of the blue rock against the orange sky. The long exposure and smoothed the water out nicely. I like the rock close to the bottom to weigh it down so to speak and make it more prominent. It's personal taste but I do find it crowds the border a touch. I would like to see it with just a sliver more water below it, perhaps half again as much as there is now.

    Cheers

    Hello

    I like the b&w treatment. The narrow DOF and the framing. These leave the viewer with no question as to the subject of the photo and allows you to focus on her without distracting elements. I realize this was probably a spontaneous capture rather than a staged shot but I would have liked to see more of her face. As it is now the eye is cut off a bit. The biggest distraction is her nose. Maybe it's just me but I can't seem to connect it with her face if you know what I mean. It's probably because we only see a very small portion and it's lighter in tone than the rest of her face because her face is in shadow and the sunlight is hitting her nose. Probably not a problem for most judging by the above comments.

    Cheers
