Superb image, I love your style!

I must recognise that that was a happy day to me, of course I was with Barcelona ;) but you were extremely competitive. .... probably next time in a final against RMadrid....!! :))

This image sort of grows on one. It is a bit easy to overlook but very easy to recognize again. That makes it unusual.

Too bad this one didn't end up higher. I feel that it deserved a higher score. Your style is very recognizable and quite different which I like it a lot. You're very talented.

I don't like the softness but the colors are very good! The flare also helps with making this feeling stand out.

I like the composition of this shot. It seems a little contrasty, so some detail in the highlights and blacks has been lost, but I think works ok.

topical!

Cool shot. I like the pp and the negative space on the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think this is a really neat photo, but perhaps a little too smoothed out? It seems like it might work better with a little more of a gritty texture to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2006 09:58:36 PM
This is a nice shot. I think it could use some cropping. The flare is good, but if it were cropped just shy of the circles from the flare, it could be great. That blob of whitish stuff at the top right is distracting.

Excellent SP! The sun flares seem to fit perfectly into this photo and the color tones are great.

Nice framing and love the flare you caught. Good choice of setting and hope the rest don't mark you down too much for the flare.

I'm a Portsmouth fan myself but it is a good "Self Portrait" 7

Oh man, after just losing the Champions League Final, I cannot give you less than 6. Plus one for Thierry Henry. That's 7.

nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2006 12:17:36 AM
I like this alot. With the "tough guy " expression and the rough of the wood, there is a softness I really like. Great use of negative space. I like the frame too.
