Fishing in Berwick Bay
by photogJames

Comment:
And I thought that the Missouri river looked murky. A narrower DOF would have made the fisherman a more prominent element of the image. I'm not sure how intentional this was, but both the placement of the horizon and the color palate seems to divide this into two images: the lighter, cooler colors above the midline and the darker, warmer colors below. The rust on the bridge complements the colors in the bottom half of the image, but the lower section doesn't seem to reciprocate. I think that the composition would be stronger if there were traces of blue in the bottom of the image (the man's shorts, for example).

Mondrian would be proud. The shadows from the knob are a bit distracting.

Very sharp image. I love the high-contrast. I'm interested in knowing what your lighting setup was for this shot.

The strong shadows and pollen specks are distracting. The gradient along the right edge does a good job of leading my eyes toward the flower.

Ironically, the lamp seems a little too dark.

Turn Two

Comment:
The focus seems too soft and the hot spots at about 4 o'clock are distracting. Shooting this at a slower speed would have accentuated the motion of the car and made it more of a focal point.

The lizard

Comment:
This strikes me as a better example of hyperrealism than minimalism. I really love the textures in this image. What kind of a lizard is this? He seems to be changing colors to blend in with the plants.

The texture in the bricks seems to wash out near the back of the image, and the focus gets a bit soft near the people as well. Nice use of negative space.

seagull on the roof

Comment:
The bird placed at this position in the frame while facing that direction adds visual tension to the image and makes me want to turn to see what's off to the left. Good use of colors and textures.

This is a novel take on the topic. Good DOF. I like the faded, flaking lines of paint and the crack in the road.
