Greetings from Hickory NC

Hmm, I think I missed this part of Hickory last time I was through there. I am curious as to why you didn't crop out the cinderblock wall at the top. Does this mean that your part of the world is in the toilet?? Interesting choice of subject, and I am so glad that you put the apple in there - it really kicks up the visual interest for me !! lhall-7

Presidential Mansion

Quite a lovely shot. The reflection in the water is great, and gives the composition a wonderful balance. Available light is perfect for the shot. "Moderate to high" visual impact for me. Nice work! lhall-8

Floating Beauties

Pretty shot, nice composition, and I like the negative spaces. Doesn't really give me a strong sense of "your corner", but wherever it is, it must be lovely. lhall-7

Rodeo

Love the b&w, and I really think this shot gives a strong sense of "place", (or, corner of your world). Gives a sense of tension, and also of the action about to take place. I'm sure you will get comments about the focus, but I like it. This is a shot that tells a story. Good work. lhall-8

Old wall

You must live in a very old place! I like your composition and lighting. Photo, overall, has moderate visual impact for me. lhall-7

Walking the Levee at Sunset

Definitely meets the challenge, and nice composition, but lacks that *something* that completely engages my interest. lhall-6

Diet

This is sort of a "double negative space" isn't it??! Nice work, good composition, would have preferred to see the plate without the large shadow on the left side. Overall, good work, but the shot doesn't carry a lot of impact for me. lhall-6

Campfire

Comment:
This photo intrigues me because I think that if it were shot from a different angle, cutting the house out, and just a little closer up, it would have really engaged my interest a lot more. I like the whole feel of the campfire area, but house detracts from the overall image for me. lhall-6

Jacob's Ladder

Great neg spc; good lighting; would have much preferred to see the arms cropped a little below the wrists. This composition looks odd to me and detracts from the overall shot. lhall-6

Good neg spc; love the color of her hair; the soft focus is great and works well for this photo; her position, to me, feels odd, though I cannot put my finger on just why that is. Overall a lovely shot. lhall-7
