Wow, I just watched the Documentary with him in it a couple of days ago, via Netflix, and was shocked to randomly find his picture here! :) Excellent capture. I think its amazing how much he really does look like Christopher Reeves. If he had a little more muscle tone to him, he'd have the look perfect.

hmm, probably getting creamed in the voting, but I think I see where you're going with this. Nice impressionistic photo.

When daydreams become visions
And thoughts grow beyond time
Behold as the "End of Summer"
Melts into the sublime.

A photographic treasure...;-)

I contemplated submitting a shot against the grain, too. We both know it can't possibly end well, though...

Regardless, your bold endeavor demands I pay closer attention!

Fairly nice bokeh from what I can tell here at this aperture. The COC are nice & not too busy, so that is pleasing. I love the hint of a scene with the person next to the tree. She (I say 'she' because of the colors, but I s'pose it could be a 'he') looks like she has a picnic blanket in front of her, likely folding it up given the title. Strong vertical elements that the grove of trees supply here adds a nice fairy tale element to the composition. The downfall here, IMO, is the lack in contrast & saturation. I'm begging for those highlights to be contrasted by deep dark greens everywhere, not just one small tease of a patch across the centre.

This has a nice impressionistic element going strongly for it, and I like the storytelling that takes palce in the title and the action. Ultimately a little more strength in the palette would have brought it up a notch or two for me - good luck! -- 7 --

Bravo for being so out of focus. It's beautiful to look at. (bokeh pointillism)

hmmm... Was this on purpose? Brown ribbon? Well if you arent going for the brown ribbon, I can only assume that you are trying to infer that the summer is fading away. If this was your intention, then it works well enough but it could use a lot of work. 3
