This is a very neat 'old' doll :) I believe that this photo could have had a LOT more impact if it was shot on a background that offered some more contrast... a darker background... maybe a composition that didn't bullseye center the subject would have worked better too :) - jmsetzler

Pier Chain

excellent shot... perfect depth of field... my only critiqe on this one is to either try to get closer or use a tighter crop... possibly a diagonal orientation of the chain in the frame would be nice too... good work :) - jmsetzler

This is definitely an old fuel gage :) I think this photo would have some extra visual impact of the view was a little wider and the gage was off center... good shot :) - jmsetzler

Interesting :) I read your comments on this photo earlier in the forums... I think the composition on this photo would be better if the eye was located in the upper left third of the frame. The yellow tinting is a 'neat' effect but I don't really see what it adds to the photo. It doesn't 'take away' but it's not really a value-added enhancement for me. I also think that some more sharpness would accent the wrinkles and 'age' attributes of the face... good shot :) - jmsetzler

The Tipton Place

This is beautiful work... the lighting is SUPERB. In my local camera club, this photo would get pounded because of the fence. These people in my club feel that a landscape photo needs a path or entrance for the viewer to walk into the scene. They feel that objects blocking that 'entrance' path are not a good thing... anyway.. that's them.. i don' t feel that way :) The mood of this photo makes me very comfortable... I can just imagine myself standing here on a cool mountain morning... about 65 degrees outside... I love this photo... it gets a 10 this week... good work :) - jmsetzler

this is definitely an interesting subject for 'old'... the camera tilt is bothering me just a bit... in a case like this, I think that either perfectly vertical would work or a much more drastic tilt... - jmsetzler
