Pasikuda Beach

Another beach picture that brings a lot of nostalgia for me. I used to take my Border Collie Skye to the beach - it was her favorite place to just run and annoy the surf fishing. Very nice conversion - a personal fave.

snake eyes

I think the title would have worked as Snake Eye, but that's a personal choice. Great detail, nice shutter speed with the appropriate DOF. Hope the author was using a long lens. :)

What a nifty capture - I would have cropped off at the cloud line, but that is a personal choice. Definitely a top 10, if not a top five image.

Spot of Red

Comment:
Good capture - good detail, splash of red color - not a great image, but it still has a certain "panache'" if you will. Nice job.

I really like this because that's the way I look most of the time - great image capturing the essence of the subject's personality.

Abstract in Green
by mefnj

Comment:
Finally - my personal favorite format - abstracts. I love working with images to make this this way or that way and make it meaningful. This image reminds me a lot of Theo van Doesburg's art - he had a way with shapes that really make you follow the curves and shapes to entertain the brain. This is a perfect example of that - I spent a great deal of time just looking at this - it is a perfect example of art in the form of photography - a nexus of purpose and meaning. Well done - excellent. I hope the author takes first place.

Assemblage

I've come back to this several times - first time I didn't like it, second time I saw somethings that I liked and the third time, I'm torn between bad and just ok. I'm going to opt for ok because I hate being negative without being constructive. I think I understand what the author was going for here but, not to put too fine a point on it, it isn't quite there. The foreground creates a different impression than the background and now that I think about it, it might have made for a much more impactful image if the top third was cropped out - the result would have been much more meaningful and have significantly more impact. A little lighter on the contract would also have helped the foreground. Sorry for this being so long, but the image had a great deal of potential to my way of thinking.
