"I really like this picture, but the girl's head blending with the background and the coat of the guy in front of her spoils it. :("

No, actually it doesn't. At least not for me. Street shots you take what you get (in my book) and they aren't perfect (which makes them all the more interesting) but they give you a moment you wouldn't have had otherwise. But I am a mere bystander in the world of photography - I didn't recognize the HCB as an HCB, but I did like it, so take all this with a large grain of salt. Or a beverage of your choice.

Who'd have thought this was yours? Excellent, Larus! You ought to just "find" things more often. No, wait. You do well enough "making" things - we don't need you "finding" them, too! Seriously, though - great shot, great find.

Come back soon.

Modulation Exercises

I played one of those for 8 years. Were I to pick one up today, I'd not be able to get a note out of it, nor read the music. How sad is that? Lovely setup and execution.

Ah - this was yours! I'm in awe of your ability to get this exposure perfect out of the camera.

Winter's Breath

A nice complete shot, well composed. Love the dark blue of the sky contrasted with the white of the snow, clouds and house. Especially like the rusty tank and the peeling paint - adds character.

The Will to Grow

What a remarkable tree. This would make an excellent "motivational" type poster. Or just a great print. I'm assuming you used a filter for your sky - adds impact, though I think it would have stood without it just fine.
