Thanks, Rob. This photo has been stolen more times than any of my other images over the years. Ironic, no???

Halloween is close!

Great imagination. The only giveaway is the lighting. :^) Regardless, a wonderful image! And that's what counts.

Ah, come on. Female genitalia is nice, but certainly not creative! A pretty amateur photo considering it has little emotional content. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but gosh . . . You seem to posses reasonable skills, but your artistic education is sorely missing. You might want to do a little work in this area. Maybe study the masters. Other than that, some of your images show real promise.

I love creativity and making discoveries. The problem with success in this area is that it is usually preceded by dozens, if not hundreds, of failures. The squares do not work for me - nor does the pink color. The unique pose does. With a model willing to express herself so well, I am hoping you have much future success.

People come and people go. Only the land remains.

Thanks, Marc. Yes, he was a very intelligent and grizzled character.

Indeed!

Ditto. Excellent composition but too many blown highlights. Darken and use selective contrast control for a little more snap WITHOUT blowing the highlights. Here is an easy to follow tutorial. http://dustylens.com/Dodging%20and%20Burning%20for%20selective%20contrast.htm

It's just art for art's sake. Whimsical fun. Sometimes that's all art has to be.

Actually started as a photograph - honest. I was bored!

The Girl Upstairs

Ghost town of Vulture City. Now 100% empty but once held over 5,000

people. It was even considered for the territorial capital of Arizona.

I see a nude fleeing, gown flowing as she runs from the dingeon. But then I see a lot of things that aren't there. :^) Great shot. With the lights on I assume it is a place to tour.

Our photos have a similiar theme. Nice job.

Andrew, this is a lot harder to pull off than it seems - I have tried. This does capture the mood. Nice use of grayscale values.

such a btilliant artist!

Pretty damn unusual - and pretty period. The composition is very exacting and adds much to the image.

Thanks, Ken. Yeah, I was REALLY low!!! Thanks for the comment. I enjoy your photography also.

This one. I can talk to the Helyn, the curator. I have 8 b&w images hanging there now (next two months). Dominic Rouse's work is also there (nd here on photo.net). http://www.dominicrouse.com/

 

And Paul Biddle's. http://www.paulbiddle.com/

Feel free to e-mail me and I will send you her information.

You, my friend, are a creative genius! Your work has grown tremendously in the last 5 years. I wish I knew what else you are using for software - than perhaps Photoshop. Would you be interested in hanging your work in a USA gallery?

Thanks, guys. i appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Jacqueline,

 

It's amazing how those wonderful anonymous 3-3 raters seem to pop up! :^) We all get them.

 

I love the lighting and the blue against the orange stone. Beautiful. I am a tad puzzled by the composition, though. As it stands it certainly is nice. Cropping the left bush would help - BUT put the composition off balance. You might have to then take a little sky off the top and a little ground off the bottom. In shooting it, moving to your left 2-3 feet (and down a little) might have solved that.

 

Also, I notice you pretty much have a 4/5 format which suggests it might have been cropped already - unless you shoot 4x5 - which I doubt. Which road were you on? Escalante is a HUGE place. I love this arch!!!!
