Day 17 - Old chair.........

Thanks for sharing the story of this photo and the subjects within. :)

I like the arrangement of this still life photo. The angle of the chair, leaving parts of the canning jar and white bowl outside the frame...that all works very well IMO.

The monitor I'm using at work isn't the best by any means. What I'm seeing in this image is big potential but it's coming up a tad short (again, probably this monitor). The 'white' cloth and basin aren't white - they're medium gray. An adjustment to (histogram, curves, levels - pick one) and a healthy shot of contrast, would really make a difference I think. Obviously JMO. :P

The number '644' becomes the accidental focal point (it's where my eye tends to land naturally in this photo). Yet, there is so much to see and try to figure out... Fun image! :) The tones work well with the subject also.

Cute and adorable. Great timing on this shot. I'd be interested in some details on this to get the zoom look. Almost looks like a special effects (on camera) filter (zoom) was used or something. Very cool! Nice detail and focus as well. Well done!

Looks like a photo that belongs in a biology book or something. :) I like how you can get a sense of scale (mostly - kid or adult hand?) with the hand holding the frog.

Water and water reflection shots are always enjoyable. This one is no exception. I like how there is some wind movement on the water to the right, yet it's mostly calm on the left. Traditional ROT placement of the boat works just fine.

Subject comes across nice in B/W. Well seen and captured.

Going back thru the images I scored highest/lowest...had you picked in top 3. Thought this was very creative and unique. Additionally, this photo is well done technically. The DOF is perfect for this.

Smile and keep having fun! :)

What a unique building. Shame it has to go, eh? Glad you were able to get some photos of it while you still can.

You have some great detail and texture in this. Would be interesting to see what this same scene looks like at the opposite end of the day with maybe front lighting.

Overall I like the high contrast and soft feel to this. One thing jumping out at me is the exposure push is causing a strange effect on the brides face (her forehead right side (our left) and her hair seem chopped off because of lost detail). A couple of other things going on that a quick bit of cloning might address; the object lower-right (person?) could be cloned to straight black to match the mans jacket, the two black items in the top could go to white (to match surrounding area). All JMO of course. :)

Interesting play with lines and light. The slight angle from your POV adds more to it also.

I did get a bigger kick out of your comments, especially the part about your wife thinking you're crazy. You're not alone - with a wife thinking that way I mean. :P

You're just having too much fun, aren't you? :P

Ok. I find this image "interesting". It actually has some very nice lines to it that flow quite well. I'm not a big fan of extreme stuff (IR is a turnoff, over-processed & pushed stuff, etc...) but I suppose it can be fun to play once in-a-while. :)
