Lite Pear

This is an excellent black and white photo. I just think it is not really indicative of Weston's work. I think there is too much gaussian blur applied. Weston's subjects and even his backgrounds were really sharp and in focus showing off the details and textures in my opinion. This is a great image that I would otherwise vote higher on in a different challenge.

Great scene really indicative of Weston's work. Lots of action with the smoke billowing out of the smokestacks. Overall I think the image is lacking in tonal range. You did well to limit the highlights, which I think is something Weston did often, but there is not enough shadow and dark tones... mostly mid range tones. Perhaps the contrast could have been bumped up a bit more to help out, or maybe like a red filter applied. Excellent work overall!

I think this is good and something Weston may have photographed. A couple drawbacks to this shot is that the light is even and possibly diffused by cloud cover making the scene fairly grey and even in tone. I think you could have just gotten closer to the main subject to make it better. If Weston were to photograph this, he would have concentrated on the one rock in the foreground. I know this because I am an expert and have studied the master thoroughly! (he says with tongue in cheek!!)

Self Portrait

Excellent Weston Like Portrait! Good pose representative of his headshots, very contemplative. Use of digital medium really lacks the depth that Weston's film portraits show but here it may also be the distance of the background to the model, as Weston shot many outdoor portraits. (My last comment is not to say your photo is lacking in any way, just different because of the medium chosen.)

Overall an excellent example!

Fan VI

Very good stylistic photo without being a copy of a subject. (As far as I have seen I have never seen him shoot a fan of any kind anyway). Excellent lighting and exposure. Really good shadow keeping detail in the blacks while allowing for detailed highlights with out being overblown.

Nice form study. I like the composition here with the angle. I think there is just not enough light and it is a bit underexposed leaving it kind of grey. Rather than using a longer shutter speed, I think leaving that the same and getting some more light on the subject would have helped. I am no pro though... all my images came out real flat!!

Lettuce

This is good. Weston's cabbage shot was all about the form and the texture. Here, you got the form well but with a different perspective. Lettuce has a different texture which is shown nicely here being smooth and veiny with a sheen. One thing that sticks out is with the background being soooo deep black, the subject looks very two-dimensional. You got the light draping on the subject fairly well!
