I can't help trying to read the sign over your shoulder. :) I like the approach and overall feel of this. Looks like you may have rushed burning the window highlights just a bit.

You forgot to add, "setup camera and take photos", to your morning routine. :P

18 - Sea Breeze (Brisa do Mar)
by Bud

Comment:
Interesting lines that this boat presents. The tire is fun (I know it's a "bumper" - but still fun). :)

Were you trying to include the boat reflections on the water? Or, trying to get the bow of the boat on the ROT point? I ask because it feels a little centered, like a good chunk of the bottom could crop off. Just an observation.

Some neat things you're seeing over there! :D

Yep. Like this very much. I'm starting to really like the soft filtered look with many of these B/W photos. Very nice job on the color tone conversion - looks great! Only one minor nit from me...the whites (on this crummy monitor at work) seem blown out on the shirt.

Day 18: You look'n at me?

Comment:
This cat is a prime subject for B/W with that mix of tones in the fur. So where was this cat? In a tree outside a window or something?

I like cats (we have two), but the eyes here look a little weird (nothing wrong with the photo - just the cat). :P

Day 14 - The Last Leaf
by Budya

Comment:
Nice texture and bokeh in this photo. The front leaf is almost mirrored by the one behind - that's fun.

One distraction is it appears you did some minor burning in the area near the lower left of the leave? The bokeh seems disrupted with a "hiccup" in the grain. Just an observation. :)

Take care.

Day 15 - Raindrops
by Budya

Comment:
Precariously balanced and ready to roll off at a moments notice! :)

I like the 'L' shape the leaves form and the natural leading lines in here. The raindrops make for a good focal point. Well seen and captured.

You have some beautiful work in your portfolio. The Sigma 10-20 subject grabbed my attention from your profile page so I ended up here. :)

This is a wonderful photograph of a stark and barren type setting. The rising mist is great! Given the subject and feel of this location I like the sepia version better.

Smile and keep having fun! :)

I'm a sucker for this kind of shot. These seed heads always draw my attention...driving in the car, at the mall, etc... :P

Great job of catching this backlit subject. Don't know if the grain was intentional (I imagine yes), but it works well here.

I really like the empty space in the center and the slight bit of motion. The tiles on the floor add a nice sense of depth. Overall, this photo puts the viewer on location. Nicely done!

No! Don't go in. It's a trap! :)

Looks like the ramps/lines lead you to the doors and you can't turnaround. This is a fun and interesting image. Perfect as a subject for B/W treatment.

I do have to say...something strange with the post-processing on this. The leaves of the branches intruding from the upper left look like xrays. Some artifacting on the rails.

Smile and keep having fun! :)
