The mountains in the background are awesome with the light poles in the front leading your eyes all the way through the photo. Great photo!

Cool tunnel vision here. The wet cement on the ground with the white walls makes this a great b/w.

I really like the refection. Plays a great role in this fabulous shot. People running everywhere to get what they need .. me, it would be shoes. ;) Great b/w..I really like all the different people and their directions.

#3 Vase

Originally posted by Ecce Signum: what a lead in but sadly can't go to town on this Soni :( so, general nit pickings from my dark monitor... I'd have preferred the black of the frame to be the same width on all sides. Not overly happy with the white in the border not being white in the top and bottom. Whilst I see the vignette works well here I'd like to see less of it as its cutting into the subject. Off centre has been covered below but is the vase tilting to the right ever so slightly? I'd like to see a little more seperation twixt the vase and background and some more light on the front of the vase. Going back to the off centre reply you made I think if you removed the 'twig' that curves to the right you could centre the vase without upsetting the general composition BUT, that 'twig' really helps the overall image so guess it remains off centre ;) Simple subject, simple setup, simple lighting, simple (read basic) editing, SIMPLY lovely image. Now, you'd best stay on your best form Soni or the quote that started this comment will be back to bight you ;)

OH the nerve! hahaha..just kidding. thank you..I feel the same way. I am not a big fan of this shot although I worked at the lighting in my studio for an hour. It was well worth the time.

Thanks so much for the comment, everyone!

That's to bad that the two of them couldn't finish together but nice to hear one of them did. That's awesome. Sounds like you had an amazing time and with lots of nice weather to go with it. How lucky! You were in the right spot at the right time to capture this photo and you did an amazing job with the refections, contrast and comp. Wow, I could just sit and view this for hours. I think it's cool how you have the boaters darker than the background which makes them pop out. Very good work here!
