Down the other road
by Donatien

Comment:
This shot caught my eye and for a moment I couldn't figure out why... Then it hit me. We've all done this. You drive along through life and something hit's you right in the rear view and you wonder... What if I went that way instead?

Take Cover!

Ah the playfulness of youth. How soon is it that we forget how much fun a spring rain can be? To get back the joy...

Lest We Forget...
by doctornick

Comment:
After a moment of silence, a reflection on the peacefulness of the scene. Repetition to grab the eye and take it into and through the shot. Then the realization that each repetition has a story to tell. Less we forget...

Natural Camoflauge

Comment:
Unfortunatly, the camoflauge that you refer to works against you in this instance IMHO... I can see many people not taking the time to see what is really there. If you don't see it, it is an uninteresting snap... If you do see it, it is an interesting snap. Not much for staying power though...

The Welder

Can you hear the sizzling of the welding rods? I can. I can feel the heat on my face and feel the need to turn my head from the brightness. One man weilding the fire of creation, framed within the framework. Hope I can feel as content in my work as this man appears...

Still & Quite

This is an awesome shot. I can 'hear' the quiet. The occasional splash of a fish or bull frog. I can smell the rain that is just over the hill. Great shot. Were you in another boat? On a pier? I'm gonna guess Ireland. Damn... I can smell the fish frying...

This has some very nice tonality. It also has a very nice focus and DOF as well.

It is a little confusing to the eye though. Part of this is because of the tilt. Your horizon is not level. At first I wasn't sure it was but because of the crooked frame of the old building and the unstraight tree to the right. However, looking at the background trees confirms that the overall shot is crooked. This is an easy fix in Photoshop. PM me if you need details.

Another reason that is a little confusing to the eye is the leading lines. The lines from the building frame work lead you into the shot, but there is nothing there to land on. This would not be an issue if the shot was cropped more on the right side and you had more shot on the left side. This way the leading lines would direct the eye outside the frame which can be quite effective! Not seeing the original, I do not know if this is possible or if it would have to be reshot.

Much potential here. Can't wait to see more of your work!
