Great detail and tint. I am not a fan of overlays like that in this sky. voted earlier

Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice

Comment:
The blur of the water and boat movement seem to emphasize the timelessness of the island. bump

savanna

Comment:
Framed and photographed this way, the title, "savanna", seems intimate and personal referring to the animal. Oh Savanna, don't you cry for me... 7

Lovely landscape elements: water, rocks, reflections, and sun rays. Only downside: the burned out sun reflection (or maybe its just my monitor). voted earlier a 7

Pitt River in the Morning

Comment:
What a riot of photographic clichees!! There's a patch of layers in the center and a great sunstar peaking through the silhouetted trees; high clouds and their reflections in the almost still waters; and last but not least an unexpected and surreal group of dolphins breaching out of the black shoreline (or maybe just some leaves). By any count a fascinating image. bump

She looks familiar but nevermind. The shot still has a refreshingly spontaneous quality of high contrast film push-processed in my darkroom. Only the vignette seems unfilmlike. voted earlier

This is a terrific shot. The attitude and posture of the child are so natural and sociologically poignent - reminds me almost of Dorothea Lange's dust bowel photographs. But the aspect ratio is unnatural and unfilmic in my view and the scratchy overlay an unnecessary distraction from an otherwise winning shot. Scratches in my film never looked like that.

Hard to know what one say coherently except to go from the gut, which is: I like the shot's textures and visual integration of the recognizable shape of the dog into its vitally abstract environment.
