Getting Up Steam

I really liked this shot and gave it a 7. I thought the same as others, that a little more contrast would be nice. I'm kicking myself for not spending more time looking at it the first time around, because I missed the photographers up top!! They add so much to the picture. The 800 pixel limit loses some of those fine details for people with lousy eyes, such as myself!

It really has a wonderful, nostalgic feel to it. So very nicely captured!

I really liked this shot and gave it a 7. Yes, the face is a little soft, but that works with this, and I don't think it would have been nearly as effective if it was sharper. I thought the softness was part of its charm!

Boathouse, Cape Split

I'm always afraid to comment on your photos, because you know so much more about this than I do. And I need to look into how to do gradients for sky...

anyway, I really like the shot. Love the red and love the softness of the boat. Wonderful colors, as well. AP is right - vibrant, but not artificial. It's time you start a mentor series on doing this.

I thought this was spectacularly done!! I gave it an 8. The wide angle lens is so funny on animals, I'll have to play with it! Anyway, I think it's brilliant! And the b&w was a perfect choice. I disagree with the "needs to be sharper comment", however. I think it would be a mistake...

Love the pair and love the background! The patterns really play havoc with your eyes if you're sitting to close to the screen! :P

What a wonderful scene.

Someone commented that it lacked a focal point so that the eye wandered. I think that's the strength of this shot -- it makes you look deeper and take everything in. Not shot has to be about something specific. Sometimes it can be the sum total of everything! I like it quite a bit and enjoyed taking in the clouds, waves, rocks and letting my eye and mind wander. Well done!

This was so utterly bizarre; that's what made it so interesting! It's one of those shots that made you study it. I thought it was great!

I really like this, and the tourist do add quite a bit! Did you try cropping it in? When I scrolled down to enter this comment, I stopped when the sky disappeared and it just made me say "wow!!" The top part is so interesting, so I never would have thought about cropping it out, but when it scrolled off, the result was really interesting, I just had to share it.

Anyway, fun spot and wonderful capture!

Ok, I'm saying this a lot -- this should have scored much higher. I gave it a 7 -- I think it's wonderful! Great sign, fascinating connectors, ropes, etc. And if it's a lensbaby, it's one of the few that work for me. Very well done!
