Wisteria

It almost has a 3d look to it. I keep wanting the flowers to be a little more crisp. However, the most common comment I get in challenges is, "over sharpened".

This is priceless. A vignette may help suppress some of the surroundings.

Week 10: Peaceful Situation
by jasonlprice

Lovely photo (s)he look very peaceful, and yes they can sleep through anything as well as holler through anything. That CS3's B&W command does a pretty damn good job. I'm gonna have to get me one of those pretty soon.

10 - Antonio

What an interesting face, and gleam in his eye, and you have captured it perfectly. The FS version is wonderful and IMHO it should have scored better. The DOF is great with me as it helps keep my eyes on the face. I find the BG a little more distracting in this B&W version. Maybe if Antonio's face was lightened just a smidge.

Love the sharpness of this picture and the people add a wonderful sense of scale. Maybe some dodge and burn (mostly dodge) in the sky would add some interest there.

Tracks to Nowhere

Comment:
I like this a lot. It definitely has that cinematic feel and you nailed the exposure and B&W conversion. The only other thing I can say is that my mind wants to look down the track but my eye is drawn to the signal on the left. Maybe one of Larus' ladies walking in from the whiteout would be a great addition. :-)

I like both images a lot. Wonderful exposure and contrast on the palm hair. I think I like the bokeh a little better. I do think that the bokeh could be tuned down just a notch though.

Holding up the light

I love this. Not to sound like an idiot but what is Jutilda's bokeh filter?

Synergy

Sandy, I love the feel of motion with the streaks of light. This is a great blur shot. I assume you did this by zooming out when you took the photo?
