Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day

clean & sweet, somewhat awkwardly composed to my eye. Lovely profile on the subject. For me it works better as a square crop, top line brought down to exclude the background face.

A fairly decent piece of "brutalism", object as object, harsh and simple ansd straightforward. a little too contrasty, perhaps...

Trolling for DPC Votes

The lighting on this is too obscure for me to accept. It works wellon the reel, but the rod is getting lost. Also, the yellow pinstripe on this one is way too agressive IMO.

New Bridge

Comment:
This is a luscious bridgeworks, looks like Boston's new bridge? The compsoition is hurting the image though, as are the blown-out highlights. Take some foreground off, and give us more sky, and it would breathe better...

Mechanical sound

Would be stronger if a quarter of the foregrounf were removed and the equivalent added to the top to feature the mechanism more.

Bla-Bla-Bla..

wonderful sense of dislocation in the midst of chaos. Pity the man in the parka, top dead center, isn't showing motion blur liek those aroudn him. Image is marred by excessive use of USM on foreground figure: see haloing, especially on hat.

I'd like this a LOT more if the focus were on the older woman's face, not on her hand, and certainly not on the leather jacket, which is where it is sharpest here...

a lot of spontaneity here. Pity the composition, the two dominat central elements, are conspiring to keep the dog from being a major player in the scene.if you were standing inthe exact same spot, pointing the cam the exact same way, and she had moved a few feet more to the left,a nd the dog were still doing his thing exactly like that, it might be a lot stronger.

But then again, this is all about "candid", and you got no controlover these variables really. What it boils down to is, the best candids are a combination of vision and luck.

High marks for "feelgood"... Blah, static composition is hurting it, as are the unfortunate background trees. One would love to see what the kid's feet are doing, if anything. Nice shot.
