I agree with Peter, and those two little whiteareas are a nice touch. A good printer will oftenmake several prints at different densities andcontrasts, not to mention croppngs and dodging andburning schemes. I realize this takes time andmoney, but it's part of the learning process. After you've arrived at several possibilities, set the prints aside for a day or two, and revist them with a fresh eye. There is almost never just one"perfect' way to render an image. and opinions will vary widely. In creative work, I shoot and print for MYSELF, not for others. If it's accepted, fine, and if not, that's fine too. Thegreat artists stuck by their guns, though I freelyadmit many died in obscurity and poverty, but manywere "discovered" posthumously. If you feel you have the artistic gift, then learn the craft byDOING! When the craft and the art come together,a light will go on!! You'll know when andif this happens.

Lovely! Ephemeral!

I guess it's OK if you're into dead birds.

Nice detail shot, good pattern, but suffers fromfamiliarity. I still prefer B&W, so keep shooting.

July 1, 2001

Nice image, and I still love B&W. Keep shooting.

July 1, 2001

A lovely image, bleak and cold, but a bit unremarkable due to familiarity. Keep shooting.

It's a good genre shot, but it's to care aboutthat girl with the effete, world-weary expression.Keep at it.

July 1, 2001

Nice detail shot, and I'd like to see it in B&W.Keep at.

July 1, 2001

A lovely image, but unremarkable due to beingoverdone. Keep trying. and try to avoid the overly familiar.

Nice snapshot, pretty girl. Not very remarkable,and overly familiar. Keep shooting, it'll happen.

Trains are nearly always appealing, but, alas,over-worked. This is a competent ad type illustration.

July 1, 2001

The colors are striking, but the composition isfairly straightforward. What are they? I goodillustration shot.

July 1, 2001

A striking image, well exposed and composed. Agood illustration shot

July 1, 2001

Nice image? Is it an explosion, a fire, or asunset?

July 1, 2001

Great old sofa, good shot, like the hot red. It'sa good illustration.

July 1, 2001

Personally, I'm still a B&W man. Nice shot, nottoo remarkable, but a nice shot.

July 1, 2001

Quite nice! Well composed and good use of propershutter speed. I STILL prefer B&W. Only trouble is, one sees so many waterfall shots, lovely as they usually are.

July 1, 2001

Looks like a polished cross-section one so oftensees in rock stores. Lovely patterns and colors.

July 1, 2001

NICE shot, and the light sepia is good.

July 1, 2001

Darling shot, candid and sincere. I like B&W andkids in unposed shots.

July 1, 2001

Nice decorative image, but artistically unremarkable.

July 1, 2001

Nice scene, nice shot, but I fail to see the needfor that swath of white in the foreground.

July 1, 2001

Ezcellent, lovely shot: well exposed and composed.

July 1, 2001

Sunsets are nearly always appealing, and yoursis an exceptionally striking one. That streak ofblue really sets it apart.

July 1, 2001

Nice shot! Full of joy, wholesomeness, and sincerity. The background is a bit "busy" and probably should have been thrown out of focus a bit more, but it's not bad. Try a little DOFcontrol next time.
