Hello Misha

Once again, you have produced an individualistic and successful fashion portrait, which is interesting both in its style and pose.

This one, I find particularily successful because of the pacarious pose you have chosen for your model - one isn't sure how high the ledge upon which she sits is from the ground - this infers a sense of anxiety into the image which provides the viewer with a sense of urgency.

The onion roof is a delight, and adds further focus, however having its position below that of your model was a masterstroke. This coupled with your low camera angle serve to increase this pleasingly uneasy feeling of precarious danger of your subject!

Fantastic - 7/7

Regards, Nick.

Hello Virginia

I love this just the way it is. The beautiful reds and blues compliment each other very well, and this could be seen as a wonderful abstract image if it were not for those oh, so interesting tracks in the sand, and for the riders in the distance!

Fantastic - 6/6

Regards, Nick.

...your photograph is an important piece of photojournalism!

Assuming that this leision is either a lipoma, a sebaceous cyst, or a fibroadenoma, it would be easily removable by surgery (or at least it would have been in the early stages). Regardless of the disfugument, this womans vision has been seriously affected - some would say unnessessarily.

...I hope that those idiots out there who indulge themselves in unnessessary cosmetic surgery are taking note!

...I like the new version, and I know what you mean about the verticals!

I was on the ice, and yes, I did fall over - several times, much to the amusement of my friends who seemed much more able to remain upright!

The rapid recession of glaciers often leads to masses of ice becomming detatched from the snout and producing tunnels and caves such as this one amongst the Moraines at the foot of the glacier.

...note the beautiful blues of the 2000 year old ice! - the dirt covering the ice is a result of the abrasion of the bedrock by the massive grinding forces of the moving ice!

Thanks Pete - I visited the Grossglockner Glacier in Austria in the summer of '91 and watched hugh chuncks of ice break off! Also I was lucky enough to walk in hobnail boots on the Fox Glacier in New Zealand '95; but the Glacier shown above was much more inaccessible - largely because of the frozen lagoon!

You would love Iceland, I'm already planning a return visit in the summer, despite things being so very, very expensive there!

Alas, I still have no working scanner, but I was able to have the negatives scanned to disk at my local pro lab! - The remainder of my S.Africa photographs will still have to wait.

Fond regards, Nick.

Hello Michael.

I love the simplicity of your composition, and the subtlety of the colour and light! I have never visited Lindisfarne, and your image makes me want to go more than ever!

...great depth of field!

...great contrast and grain here!

...bless!

Great composition, I like your use of a wide angled lens!

Regards, Nick.

I love the pink sky - is it natural?

The extensive and heavy photoshop processing works very well to produce this fine image.

Hello Peter, I found you via your namesake!

I love this! The movement blur is just right giving a pleasing sennse of confusion to the already amiguous art work! B&W was the pefect choice.

7/7 - with my respect.

Regards, Nick.

Hello Colin, I was skating there last tuesday!

I like the low angle, and the Natrul History museum provides a wonderful backdrop to this winter scene. My only regret for your pleasing image is that the chap with the red bag isn't placed in the "rule of thirds position".

Fond regards, Nick.

PS ...what does it look like if you "correct" the verticals?

William, you are probably right about the sky - if only I had had a graduated neutral density filter, but alas my camera bag was empty! - perhaps some clever photoshop fan could do something to improve the image?

...I do however think that the burnt out sky adds to the cold, cold feel of the shot, and believe me, it was so very cold, and so very far from anywhere!

Fond regards, Nick.

Highland Icefields are semi-continuous sheets of glacier ice occupying many square kilometres, burying many of the features of the underlying landscape. They are most common in polar and sub-polar regions such as Iceland. This high altitude ice may flow downwards from the icefields as Outlet Glaciers such as the one depicted above. These tongues of ice, typically tens of kilometers long, flow downhill into regions well below the snow line into glacial lagoons of melt water where ice may break off to form small icebergs as shown above.
