    Nice street photograph. Composition is very good -- got to love those boots! Lots of intesting elements in the image - the box she is sitting on, her colorful dress, the grillwork behind. Technically the image is rather muddy -- the colors should "pop" -- which they don't -- probably a poor scan. Kind regards, m.

    This photo really works because of the right side. The warm yellow tone, the lights, the people focused on their meals and friends -- these all combine to make a beautiful example street photography. Kind regards, m.
  1. Jon -- I don't understand your criticism and I take exception to your suggestion (and your 2/3 rating) that I know these people. I do not. They are complete strangers. This is a 100% candid photograph -- it was not posed. And even if I did know the people, how does that take away from the subject and theme? Kind regards, m.

    Superb abstract. The panorama-style cropping works very well. It is basically a monochrome image in greys and browns with that all important dash of light blue. The vines resemble scribbles or doodling in a notebook. Kind regards, m.

    Well composed, perfect exposure. The interplay between the shadows and highlights give "body" to the image. But might I suggest a smaller image next time -- this is simply too large. Kind regards, m.
  2. The lens flare works well here. From Christian theology it is "a ray of sunlight shining down on the Son of God" whom is also known as the "light of the world". Another possible theme -- "the Lord Jesus Christ looking down upon His subjects". Theology aside, and now from a technical point of view, I wish the tones were better and the contrast was higher. The photo lacks "punch" -- something a photo like this really requires. Kind regards, m.

    A agree about the dark pillow. IT just draws too much attention to itself.Removing it would create a cool "all-white" theme. Beautiful bride in a relaxed, unguarded moment. Kind regards, m.
  3. I love cemetery photos -- especially from this particular one in Paris! Great job in photoshop. Good job composing. Only which we could see some detail in the face of the statue on the right. But with the face directed downward, it would not be receiving any light from above. Perhaps fill-flash might help, but I fear it might ruin the "atmosphere" of the photo. Kind regards, m.

    Definitely one of the top photos in your folder of portraits. It is casual yet quite expressive. Superb crop. It has a bewitching innocence which I like (perhaps because of the head covering, but also due to the model's coy expression). Could use a little sharpening. Kind regards, m.

    A simple yet effective image of innocence. The backlight on the hair is bonus. Normally I prefer my models to wear no jewellry, but if this rule is be broken, going all the way seems to work (at least here)! Kind regards, m.
  4. This is well captured. Perfect choice of focal length. People are nicely placed within a carefully chosen composition. No doubt almost all visitors to the Vatican Museum take similar shots at the end of their visit, but few turn out this well. Kind regards, m.

    Yes, "street" photography (or any photography trying to catch people in a candid fashion like here) can be uncomfortable for the photographer. But if you can get past that, the results can be worth it. The diagonal orientation works here. I don't find the light on the right particularly distracting -- it seems to balance that side with the man on the left. Would like to see a bit more contrast, however -- the image seems kind of flat. Kind regards, m.
  5. It is not obvious this was handpainted. The colors are very washed out and there is almost no contrast. I like the photo itself, the catchlights in the eyes are great and so is the overall composition. But the flat washed out colors are a real negative in my opinion. Kind regards, m.
