William Wegman would be proud of you. I know how hard it is to take a picture like this and keep it from just looking like a blob of fuzz. This is haunting and beautiful fuzz! You could have influenced Cubists with this picture. starting this at 9

the reflections are tilted on the left side. Is that lens distortion?

It would be nice if you could also get the sense of the top pile depleting.

Picture 149ThePanzFrame.jpg

Comment:
The way the real and created persons mirror each other is quite remarkable. The framing works well. I'm just a little bit distracted by the artwork itself. It's too good. It's so fabulous that it risks dominating your photo with another person's vision. But let me put a more positive spin on it: you have done an excellent job of documenting this piece of art, which was meant to exist in its larger urban context. If I were the artist, I would be thrilled to see this photo and I would want to use it on my website (with all due credit and hyperlinkage provided).

Imagined Fall

Comment:
take what I said with a grain of salt. I wonder if I'm just the Mtv generation. I want the elements I like to be big and easy to find, whereas your photo rewards a long, leisurely going over.

Imagined Fall

Comment:
The middle area is most interesting to me, where some of the leaves seem translucent. I would try cropping off the sides. In fact, I would try cropping right up to the sun itself, maybe even crop part of it off. But I'm nuts.

Accidental leaf
by Melethia

Comment:
you somehow dragged the color of the leaf about an inch down off of the leaf. It looks fantastic. It adds just enough extra complexity to the shot, which already has great texture. Remind me to tell you why this photo pisses me off after the B&W challenge is done.

Almost Married

Comment:
great, natural, loving pose. I suggest getting rid of that spot of red and that spooky inverted vegetation thingy behind her head. And the word is "almost"

Having Some Fun

The flash lighting says snapshot but the composition and careful posing says portrait. I like the tension between the two. You have an almost perfect symmetry of swings threatened by the man being bigger than the woman. Yet somehow they find a balance. Maybe it's because her orientation is more vertical and stable, while his curves into a big C... or maybe a Y. I find it a very pleasing shot. You get the sense that they have a good chemistry with each other. Certainly *some* kind of chemistry!

Bridge over waterfalls
by igoofry

Comment:
this is a slick landscape shot, which is not my cup of tea, but darn if this isn't a great example. You've got interesting foreground elements on both sides of the frame. The eye goes up the support of the bridge over the bridge and down the other support. The foreshortening is intense and distorting, which is a good thing because landscapes are inherently boring :) and need something to increase interest. You've got the standard long exposure for the waterfall, BUT you've isolated the waterfall into a small (though critical) portion of the photo and you allowed for a "blown highlight" at the bottom of the falls which radiates out in almost a perfect ellipse. Nice colors in the vegetation and very pretty rocks, too!
