Outside

I'm impressed. The silhouetted grass in the foreground takes what could have been a very ordinary sunset (sunrise?) shot, and makes it very dramatic.

Birds and Blooms

Wow. Nice, nice shot - especially impressive that the blurring on those wings is so little, considering how fast they would have been going.

Oh, nicely done - I like that the focus is on 'photography' rather than on the person who is the photographer, seeing her only in silhouette.

Photoworld Magazine: Is digital taking over?

Comment:
*laughs* A lovely choice of subject for a digital photo challenge. I like the way you balance the photo, and also the tight focus that makes the film look blurred, 'phasing out' in more than one sense. Good one!

Nice shot - the angle is lovely, the focus is very precise, and the blue shadows are a wonderful effect.

Wooden Boat
by mrhbur

Comment:
I had to go back to the title to realize what I was supposed to focus on - I was thinking the reflections were the point, and that was very clever. With the boat occupying most of the frame (and not easily identifiable to the layman, or at least this layman, as what it is), the more detailed (and fairly clear) reflections take on a life of their own....

Action Asia: Lakeside views

Comment:
GORGEOUS. I like the way the sky/land/water balance, the softer look of the sky with the brass and shadow of water and land. And the birds - with both bird and shadow visible as a shadow on the near two - are wonderful.

Now that is a lovely photo. Good choice to do in a more monochromatic look, and I like the way the eyes can follow the gears, flowing down the picture. It's busy, but because it's all busy with the subject, it holds together and works nicely.

The trees/lake are a bit dark and hard to make out - I wish more of them could be seen - but the sky is nicely dramatic. (The shadowing of the trees would work better if there were some sunset/sunrise colors, I think, as it's more expected then. As it is, it looks like a bright day and yet the details are all hidden.)

The light on this is awfully bright/glare-y - I assume that's deliberate, but it doesn't seem to fit in, and I'm not sure what it's supposed to tell me. With the high angle on (beaker?), it also is too tall an image, with the bottom part sort of dragging on and leaving it feeling imbalanced. Cropping it at the bottom edge of the glare (taking a distance off the bottom about equial to the distance between the right edge of the photo and the right edge of the beaker) seems to balance it out a bit more.
