Textures in the Sky - Noctilucent clouds
by timlu

Comment:
Lovely photograph and lovely new (for me) word; "noctilucent" .. presumably it means shining or glowing at night. The effect is of a water surface, viewed from below. Beautiful, and a thoroughly legitimate texture study. 7

Very classy photograph. Sometimes it's the most humble of subjects that offers us the most pleasing artistic rewards. Nice work. 7.

Great image of a classic textured profile. I very much like the composition and of course the lighting. The exposure is very good, and the processing is terrific. 9

Love the song and love your photograph. This is a very interesting gate. The textures in the wood and in the metal are sympathetically handled in your nicely lit and well-exposed image. 7

Lily Pads

This is the most interesting photograph of lily pads I've seen. I love the way you've captured the light on the softly curled edges of the pads. Featuring the single flower balanced by the opposing patch of clear water was also very effective. I applaud the overall composition, the crop (if any) and the chosen depth of field. Overall, a lovely photograph. Bravo! 8

This peeling paint has a strange, cave-painting quality, I guess because of the apparent human figure on the right. Love the water spigot. Overall, it's an absorbing image with a very pleasing feel to it. 7

A very effective photograph of some nasty looking textures. Good composition and depth of field. 7

Old and broken

Nicely composed to show the several interesting textures. I hate it when people say this, but I'd also love to see this as a contrasty B&W. ( I hate it because it's like saying, "Thanks for the fried egg, but can you make it look more like bacon?"). Anyway, I do like your image just as it is as well. 7

Bark & Grass

There's something about this lovely, spare image that I find very appealing. The contrasting textures of the two subjects are very effectively shown. The lighting is beautiful. But I think it's the composition and the bold crop that I like best. 8

Lavender's Blue (Dilly Dilly)

Comment:
Striking scene and well photographed to emphasise the soft, tactile nature of the lavender rows. Like a macro of a bath mat! 7
