early morning shutterbugged

Fog is a great photographic technique; I love the platform/dock and the railing. such great perspective. This looks just like the view off the docks here is lake-heavy Connecticut, USA.

Perhaps the composition would be improved by cropping out the reflecive bright green tree on the left- or perhaps cloning it out. Nice shot though.

sometimes the background becomes the detail; in these shots the true photographer emerges. when you shoot a certain person or solitary subject; the persona or spirit of the subject is the main focus, despite the hubris of the photographer, who, unlike the painter, has a difficult time portraying the subject in a "artist driven light" for lack of a better term; here, you have used the background as a "mental wallpaper" We see the artist in the photographer, and to me thats what the challenge should be about, not some focal subject, it shouild be about the lines; hence, you were robbed.

dreamlike; scary in a sense; perfectly obscuring and interesting; the tablecloth is terrific; all around really nice. Congratulations.

Trees in winter
by Melethia

Comment:
I absolutely love the shot and think it's one of your best. There is such a great tonal quality between the Green/Brown grass and the faded blue sky. The trees have no branches and reach up to the sky like arms and hands in a dance pose or perhaps in a morning yoga pose. There is a starkness and yet such Rich fullness. Perhaps a bit more cooperation from the sky and clouds would create a better background for the trees but still this is tremendous and deserves high praise.

This is quite nice; you have a great movement achieved here; perhaps it shows how "organic" humans are, when viewed against a background of white and black stripes. It also has a quality bigger than the shot itself; a "walk into the light " sort of quality. A bigger spiritual meaning. nice.

terrific shot; you run the risk of losing necessary contrast for the sake of the light anmd pale blues. But I really like this.

Above the Crowds

Comment:
I love the space created in this shot; the depth of the corners; the shades of black; the shape of the fireworks; I guess the shot would be more spectacular if the fireworks portion filled up a bigger portion of the fram, like Scavelt's winner, but in reality, you can't compromise the shot for the sake of formula. THis is a great shot that would make a terrific print, I am sure; good going.
