Danny, I have tried the e-mail address you sent me, but I think you didn't get my message.
e-mail me on angelo_villaschi@yahoo.com

Danny, I sent you an e-mail. Let me know if you don't get it.
Nice textures on that stone, but the black-on-white text doesn't parse.

I wouldn't say "masterpiece"... should've remembered to remove all that dust first  plus the frame cropped one of the pieces.
Thanks for the high praise, tough!

Hi Kev. Your photos are one of the main things I miss in my self-imposed UF exile.
This one's beautiful. Love that grain and the contrast between hard man-made forms and the natural ones.
Good stuff!

I looked at this at 100% with the grid on. It is level, but you get a slight optical illusion because of the sweep of the land.
And, if the land was level, the river wouldn't flow...
(That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

Damn globalisation... all the signs are in English!
Nice colours, Danny.
My membership lapsed, so I can only upload one byte per 24 hours.
I think I'll be uploading some stuff to "that other photo critique place that cannot be mentioned in posts lest they be 'moderated'" too...

I went and bloody missed the fair again... I so want to go one of these days. Mind you work has been so overwhelming. I can't remember but I bet I worked that entire weekend. Story of my life recently.

Nice shot with great light. A beautiful profile against a very nice background.
I hope you didn't have to deal with too much BS to get this shot...

Hi Danny. Long time no comment. I come to have a peek at UF again after a long time and see this one.
Ewe did a nice job using the backlight with this one, though your subject is looking a bit sheepish...

Nice blue colours, Luke.
I am a little confused by the photo. Am I looking at the "back" of the flower (i.e. the bit connected to the stem)? It seems so.
Overall, the image looks a little (1/3 - 1/2 a stop?) dark.
I like the off-center placement of the subject, but I wonder if the horizontal orientation is the ideal one... A vertical orientation would have shown more of the stem and perhaps cut out that distracting in-focus leaf.

Hugo,
I hadn't seen this one the first time around, so it is quite nice to see it now. Similar to the one I have recently uploaded, in that you have the classic "river and mountain" composition, but quite different in light, colour and mood. Whereas I had monsoon-type weather, here you have cheerful, colourful sunny skies and bright light.
Nice use of the reflections and layers within the image.
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year, and may it be filled with great photo oportunities!
Regards,
Angelo.

Hi Hugo,
I wanted a very subtle toning effect and I thought the duotone looked better than the grayscale.
Just a question of artistic license
Thanks for the comment!
Angelo.

Hi Hugo,
Thanks for the in-depth comment. As usual, it is thought-provoking, considered and very helpful. I appreciate it!
This is the best I could do of a bad job. I had greater hopes for it, but I was hurried: I too could sense the rain and had fallen way behind my companions. I didn't even change from the 15-30 to the 28-80...
This is already a crop and I hesitated to crop it more. I attach the un-cropped one.
Regards,
Angelo.

Hi Paul,
Nice shot. I like the simple abstract quality of this image. You have to look closely to make it out. Nice contrasts between highlights and shadows.
I do feel your composition is "sitting on the fence" to some extent, if you allow me. It's neither symmetrical nor fully committed to being off-center.

Nice idea, Vlad. I can see what you are trying to do. I just think maybe the highlights are a bit washed out, making it hard to look at.
Nice toning work, though.

A bit noisy (over-enlarged?) bus still nice to look at.

Nice panorama, Roger. I guess you will be a heavy user of this function.
This is nicely done. I particularly like the chap looking at the camera from the side of his eye. Looks like he turned just to avoid being in shot. Little did he know!

Beautifully done, Dokko! The yellow rim with backlighting is simply superb. You made the most of the advantageous lighting, and the image is crisp, clean, simple and striking.
I have tried shots like this in the past but have always struggled with the framing. No such problems here.

Brilliantly done, Vojtech! I like the full sense of motion in this one, and also the way the divers in the foreground create little frames inside the image, separating the observers on the far end.
Do you have the photo taken by the other photograper???

Hi Vojtech. Thanks for your comment.
There is no saturation in the top part because of the very low cloud covering the top of the mountain. Do you mean that you think it is too bright?
Regards,
Angelo.

Excellent juxtaposition.
Just one question: why not just crop out the right edge to get rid of whatever it is you wanted to hide?
