Adams & Westlake "Kero" Lantern

Comment by dartompkins:
Doesn't appear backlit to me. The shadows from the bottom of the lantern are being thrown to the back. I can see that the lantern is lit from the back by the glare on the handle, but the front and top lighting are overpowering the backlight. Still a very nice photo very simple, crisp, clear. I do like it. 5.

Colors in the bakc ground of this photo look a bit washed out. It also might help to crop out the observation deck in the fore ground it seems to distract my attention from the falls a bit. I like the composition of your photo and the angle it was taken from.

I was actually thinking about visiting. Tis is a great shot. I like that you have included the people. Would be excellent for a travel guide shot so that the people can imagine themselves standing there. At least, it worked for me. :) 8

One Candle

Comment by phoensoul:
This is a lovely image, but I think it would serve the challenge criteria better if there were more difference between the pitchers (which I take to be your foreground) and the candle. You have depth, but I don't really see foreground/background here. It would also be better, I think, if there were a bit more space around the outside edges, particularly the sides. With so much lovely space around the flame, the handles really look like they're squeezing in to get in the shot. You might also consider getting a piece of fabric to function as a flooring, as the seams are very out of place and distracting among your lovely swirling forms and textures.

This is very pretty, and I like the symmetry of the composition. The colour feels slightly flat, though.. it lacks warmth; it might benefit from conversion to a duotone, or a tiny bit of levels tweaking - of course, that might also throw away the detail of the candle. At any rate, it's a unique photo that meets the challange fairly well.

I just laid a Golden Egg ....Cool!!

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Very clever concept, and well shot. The large overexposed expanse of water takes away a bit, but it's still a good photo.
