Denny Chimes - University of Alabama

I like the idea - certainly think the angles and incidences of the stonework make for an interesting idea. I'm not certain about your crop though - there doesn't seem basically to be enough of that stonework in shot, or of brickwork, or of sky, and the failure to include the entire name bugs me ... placing those letters on the very strong diagonal makes them the definite subject here, yet to my eye it is those angles of stone that hold the visual interest, but your shot constantly pulls the eye away from them.

Beautifully executed, well composed. I've tried this shot myself, and never found a really happy composition - I think this is possibly the best available, but it somehow never quite feels a strong as one would want it - I think it's because the balance of the bridge and the cathedral don't quite sit as comfortably in frame as one would like; to my eye, the brdige always feels relegated somehow. This is by far the best attempt I've seen at it though.

i'm not sure about this at all - even after five minutes of looking at it. I don't think that it has the sense of texture, of existence that would bring it out to be a great shot. I like the composition very much, like the idea, but in the end it doesn't quite have the sting that one would want. I like the sense of light here - but its impact has somehow been muted here, I think.

Something weird: that, is my coffee table. It becomes, naturally, almost the only thing I can see in this photograph. Or at least, gives the image a range not intended by you. Truly co-operative.

Alas, Yesteryear's State Of The Art

i like the low-key kind of feel, though the visibility of that black background, and its texture kind of joins with the feel of the camera itself. The light on the bellows is good - real sense of texture, but I'm not sure of the effectiveness of that coloured light.

Like? Isn't it actually that, and thus not 'like' it at all? Good tonality, sense of movement without losing detail.

Depiction of a Slow Deterioration after nearly a Thousand Years

Quite like your burning - or however it wa done - giving that useful sense of focus. The only downside of it is that the contrast seems to have gone a bit along the wall and where the staircase is on the keep itself. Strong sense of composition, though I'd perhaps argue with your title - it seems more redolent of endurance of 1000 years than of much decay. Nice work.

In Natures Own Time...

That backround ... well, at least you've used a background, but this: why not use a clean board? Let the decay of the fruit speak for itself, what is added by having that mess on the background? you light seems good too - though I'm not sure that you're quite in control of it - looking at those burnt-out highlights on the left-most thing, and the rim of the bowl.
