Excellent portfolio work. Your use of lighting, pose and wardrobe work well in this image.

Very alien looking...hungry alien.  Notice how the light bleeds through the petals showing the veins of the flower. Nicely done sir!

Life is short...wear tropical shirts and feel the sand between your toes.

The simple days of yesteryear..sweet post work Tony.

The simplicity of the image as a whole and the lack of people in what one would think to be a busy downtown is why this is a fabulous photojournalism style shot. 

And here I thought I was the king of being goofy...I here by relinquish my crown to you Steve.

I find this to be over the top creative...well done on good story telling in a single image. And we all know that's not an easy task to accomplish. Kudos to you Jack.

Great composition and location to catch the right light...I like how the background fades away. My monitor may be different than yours (or everyone's for that matter) but I'm seeing a pinkish gray skin tone under the subjects neck. As I said, it may very well be how I'm seeing it. Any way....lovely portrait work!

Stark with a wide emotional impact...something I'd expect to see in a museum.

Incredible imagery...the emotional impact of the subject matter alone is over the top, but to have captured the moment of the mother's glance with so much love in her eyes....wow!

The light and shadow play in this image is stunning...kudos.

I find your image to be on the right track....clean lighting and a touch of emotion captured in the subject. Rule of thirds are in use and it's fine, except that the fingers are cropped off...OUCH! The background and subject are a little flat...if the background was darkened then the subject would pop out at the viewer a bit more. I do like his little smirk...well done.

I've seen this image in your portfolio before but really didn't know what to say about it...I believe now I do. It screams isolation with a dash of misery, and yet relays peacefulness and comfort at the same time. It confuses me and that's why I like it.

Such a wonderful photojournalism style candid image...telling the story of childhood in a fraction of a second.

Liking the composition plus the texture and detail in the white paint. Reminds me of the beginning of the yellow brick road...

Viewing this wonderful image larger I noticed the people hugging inside of the front door...perfect timing to get this fab shot sir.

I think it's great when a photographer includes himself in a photo...well done Jeff.

I think I could better tell you how I would edit this lovely gentleman by showing an edited version if that's okay with you?

Film Noir feeling here....as if Sam Spade might walk into the scene any moment. Well done indeed.

These colors are brilliant...almost as if a rainbow had fallen from the sky and landed on the mountain. Brilliant image Laurent.

I love seeing an image and thinking, somethings wrong here...out of place or shouldn't be there. Boats half submerged in icy water definitely catches my eye. Gray scale and composition, top shelf Marco. 

You have a very distinct vision when it comes to the everyday light and shadow that most people never see...kudos. 

I enjoy the vintage feeling in this B&W image...the many shades of the gray scale are present which makes this cool still life pop.

Focus stacking is something new to me...thanks for bringing that to me attention. I have ran into the problem of unwanted softness in the past but now I that have the "focus stacking" concept deeply seated in my brain housing group...life is good. Thanks for the tip!!

Working with a shallow DOF can be a tricky thing. What to leave in focus

and what to leave out of focus, is often subjective.
