Venus

Comment:
this is one of very few nudes that are visually interesting. You achieve that by perspective distortion (a wide-angle lens close-up?) and by raking light across the back, revealing the intricate web of muscles and bones across the back. In the process, you give away the game: models are too skinny! Also, the model's head is not turned all the way back over the shoulder, with the usual "do me" look. Instead the model's head is halfway turned, and she seems inquisitive and even annoyed, i.e., "What's going on back there?" Notice that I am simultaneously explaining why I like the picture and why DPC is going to vote it low.

great macro. the angle immerses us into the grass. the photo becomes not so much about the dragonfly but about immersion. and good bokeh!

I don't think yellow does well at dpc, but I personally love the color. it is sentimental, poignant, and you explore its variations well in this photo.

you're in portrait orientation and she's laughing, but otherwise a good reproduction.

The Fishermen at padma river

Comment:
the closest thing I could find was "Boatman of the River Padma", but that seemed to use natural lighting a la the 70s. In fact, I've never seen a movie that uses the Infrared filter...

Don`t Look Now

this looks like a good movie. I can't find this scene (then again, why should I be able to, without watching the movie?), but I suppose this could be one of the hauntings they experience. It doesn't evoke the 70's cinema look, but it is cinematic and haunting. 7

Picnic at Hanging Rock

well, I saw a trailer for this movie and I didn't see anything remotely like this, but it's a nice portrait with a cinematic composition. 5
