A few minutes before sunset
by Pascal

Comment:
Perhaps a shame you couldn't have framed the big boat and the little more happily - as it stands, the container ship looks like an accidental inclusion. Quite effective light, though perhaps use of colour only serves to make the scene look washed out, where black and white would emphasise the shapes more.

Trafalgar Square by Night

Comment:
Composition seems forced - why have the fountain so close to the column, and yet have so much remaining space either side? If you'd separated them so that they were placed more independently in frame you'd surely have a more satisfying image, no? I'm not aware of anything that would be more distracting than your current background if you did that ... Nicely done exposure wise though, but that isn't enough to overcome the compositional problem.

Good work, although maybe lacking in any real photographic, rather than politico-social, interest.

Comment:
Well, although I'd personally have done some work to straighten this - the only partially tilted horizon line seems more of an accident than a useful element - this is a lovely shot. Political commentary is all!

Fun - in a properly serious, photographic sense too.

Fire Below

Intriguing, and beautifully photographed. Very strong sense of composition, those lines giving a strong flow through the frame.

Iowa State Capitol

Comment:
I'd guess its HDR, but to my eye it simply looks like something's gone badly wrong with the processing of this image. It seems more like an illustration than a photograph.

Flash Frozen in Time

Comment:
The dynamic nature of the effect of strobe flash is always interesting; unfortunately, I don't find much else here to hold my interest. Inevitably the light is odd, but the composition, the colour and other extraneous elements don't hang together.

Dee - Dec. 2006

Comment:
Has a near 1950's feel, apart obviously from the colour: simply depth of field, I suppose. Just a portrait, though, to my eye.

The sun also rises over Valley of Death

Comment:
Nice patterns, well caught and processed. Perhaps lacks some more formal interest for me - something more than just patterns of landscape.
