Ancient Urban Landscape

This could use a quick touchup of levels and/or curves. Nothing's really black and nothing is white. I would include more of the building on the righr as well. Otherwise I like the composition and the colors are quite nice.

Nice colors especially in the sky. I like the silhouette you've created at the bottom of the scene and you captured the lighting terrifically. I would consider cropping a little off the bottom but this is a great capture overall.

I like the sky and the waving flag. This could use some straightening. A different angle would be helpful here too. The straight on shot of the Husky is a little bland. The Husky's a great piece of Canadiana however and that lends a lot of appeal to me for this shot.

Two things I'd like to say.

1)I always like your stuff Larus.
2) Congratulations on getting a ribbon for a shot that didn't involve the Northern Lights.

Nice capture and a very unique subject. Its a shame you lopped off some fingers on his right hand. Selective colorization may have worked well here but I like it just the way it is too.

Nice capture. This shot has a good photojournalistic quality that, thus far, has been rare in this challenge. You tell the story well here and still have managed to create an artful composition. Well done!

Nice composition and interesting use of shadows. The dodging on the person's right shoulder does seem a little out of place however I might be picky on that point. I like the texture that you captured in the stones as it really helps create a visual rhythm. Well done.

Focus is quite soft here and I can't really tell what your camera chose to focus on. A tighter crop may have been more effective so we can see closer look at the heart of the action. Nice well saturated colors and a great capture of the action otherwise however.

Interesting picture that tells a story. You can almost see the dialogue:

"Look at this yutz packing our stuff for us"
"I know...what a goof"
"He doesn't look that bad without a shirt on"
"Are you kidding?"

Lol..fiction is fun.


Really well controlled DOF that works perfectly for the picture. Good visual connection between the subjects. Some separation between them would help but kinda hard to do so while keeping this candid.

Interesting shot. I like the angle you captured this. Many would have had the standing angle pointing down. By bringing us down to eye level it helps create a connection to the person of the shot especially showing his hands and his hospital ID. The black and white conversion works but it seems everyone does black and white pictures of homeless people. Perhaps giving us the full color version would further allow us to empathize with him. Just an idea.
