Really nice, both of them :)

Is the background in the portrait the sky? Some texture in it would have been nice if possible... Your lucky to have a willing model that is so photogenic...

The Fence is making me want to start shotting B/W again... Great capture!

Both are excellent :) I left comments on photosig...

Karen- both picts are really nice. Right side of fence is a touch light, and I would have cropped a drop off the bottom of the portrait.But thats just me. Great job!
Critiques on this photo please?

Agreed, re: the sky. It was such a cloudy and grey day yesterday - that's one of the reasons I made the photo into B&W so that they sky would just wash out more. I wished for a clear blue sky day with puffy clouds.... Maybe next time I photograph him, as he wants me to do that for his CD he is making!

Hey, Terry! Beautiful flower! I left a comment on Photosig... what an eye you have for focus!! Right on!

Excellent photos both of them. Great work. And I liked the blank background on the portrait.

John, thanks for the comments you made on my photos. I don't think I can convert to b&w in camera... hmmm, will have to check that out. Haven't wanted to, so haven't looked for it. That was done in photoshop. Maybe I'll play with it some more. Thanks!

I think they are both good but the portrait ROCKS.
Just as good as any professional ones you see of celebrities and so on...

I love the shot and expression and want to know what she's looking at. Seems out of focus a lot to me, but maybe that's deliberate?

I like the feeling this photo gives me--it has a classic, nostalgic kind of feel to it--but was all of that grain intentional?

Like it!
Like high contrast high grain but think it's a little too much of both just for my personal taste...
08/23/2002 01:26:45 PM · #18
okay. *grin*.
Yeah. I put some grain in there because the shot was dark, and when I tried to level it, it just looked poor. So, I changed it to b&W and added the grain to attempt to disguise it.
Never played with grain before, so wanted to try, too.
Thanks for lookin'!
:-)

I don't think the dark looks bad at all... I think the grain is ok but maybe at a lower level... good shot :)

I agree, I like the grain a lot, just it's slightly too much, but def don't get rid of it completely...

Seems out of focus but lovely colours and composition. Are the colours as taken? Very colourful.

Does it really seem out of focus? The owl was actually sitting on someones shoulder about 10 feet away. I brightened and saturated the colors in photoshop. Thanks for the critique :-D
