hi there
interesting double exposure, i think though a little flat with no contrast.
i also think its been over exposed as there is only shades of grey. no strong blacks,, whites and greys.
b & w is famous for its tones and textures
when double exposing you half the exposure for two, ie keep the camera at f-22 for max depth of field and just half the shutter speed
i have cropped your photo added some more contrast ie bite to the image.
the crop is a panorama size i think it would make a nice postcard.
in all an excellent attempt at something different, keep up the good work.

hi there,
firstly the house is well framed and sharp,
but has a slight off putting lean on it.as well the wide angle lens tilt, ie its if the building was falling over.
this can be fixed by using a telephoto and standing back, or a tilt and shift lens.
but i like it this way as its very dramatic
it looks as thru you have used a red filter or tweaked it in photoshop.
this brings out the tone which black and white is famous for
if you had a chance to do this again, try adding a human for scale ie sitting on the front step or looking out an up stairs window.
nice work and good idea.

hi there,
nice 3/4 pose of the ornament and colour.
but i gave it a little tweak to improve your already good photo.
i cropped it to remove the gold and green as well as cloning out the flash make behind the elephant
keep up the good work.
cheers peter

hi there
it looks like a little girls temper tantrum about not geeting her way
the black and white and wind blown hair brings it up nicely. ie the mood of the occassion.
nicely seen.

hi
interesting framing of a scaffold against the sky
the black and white helps the photo by using tonal and texture with the sky and building

hi there,
nice work, you always see the coloured gels for flash's in junk boxs.
no one must use them,the shine on her face shows that the flash was too strong in parts
but the colour green has camoflaged this (so bad pun)
the pose is good as she is looking into space.
cheers peter

hi
very nice use of blur and colour.
did you use a tripod or was it hand held?
very impressionistic, just like an old masters painting.

hi
nice colour and texture.
interesting framing of the leaf
i would try coming down lower and closer to show more of the texture on the leaf.
as its the brown wrinkles against the smooth green that you are trying to show.
nice worh though

nice framing and shading of the side of the boat.
just a simple filter can work wonders rather than hours in photoshop.
keep it up

interesting portrait,more the environment and person living in it than the other way around.
the sepia gives it a feeling that it was set in an earlier time.

nice tight cropped portrait with that texture and tone that only black and white can give.
very high key effect
very hard to focus manual cameras in low lighting so well done.

hi there
looking at your portfolio you are getting very good at these.
since the sky is the main feature you hve encluded mostly sky,and a little bit of the darkned ground.
in all a very nice balance.
good work

hi there
nice exposure and framing, using film in low light with a slowish lens is very hard.
the pic looks sharp, so your timing must of been spot on to capture a stop in the action.
good work.
