The layers of shades of grey are irresistable for me. This is just beautiful. Congratulations on producing a fine image.

This is really nice with the intense backlighting. That's one of the things about photography ? preserving the views that no longer exist in reality.

I like the dark tones at the base of the picture and the beautiful lighting on the old stonework. I, too, am a bike rider, if you mean bicycle. I have tried to take my cmera along on most longer bike trips.

These stately trees are very well presented. It certainly goes against my stereotyped view of Iran as a desert country! Outstanding.

A great example of in image made on the edge, the border between light and dark. always difficult but most rewarding in the outcome.

Aside from the obvious charm of the little girl, I also like the warm color cast and the strong diagonal line of the composition.

Yep, I really like the nitty gritty industrial scenes like this. Here, you have that nice diagonal line as well as a good range of tones.
I don't think the over-the-hill gang should take up with Harleys ? they might put on weight!

You have accepted the challenge of photographing a flower in black and white and succeeded very well. A simple and effective treatment with a good range of tones.

There was in image to be made here, but it was elusive. In the high key treatment and the merging of borders with the page, it truly is mystical. For me, it would be more effective if there was some sort of border surrounding the image to define the limits for me. Also, I think your image could be better presented by being the maximum 800 pixels wide.

I would never have guessed that these people are made of wood.  This is a piece of journalism that piques my interest and makes me want to know more. The triangular arrangement of the figures helps the composition. Ganz nett!

I was about to fault you for not having much going on in the left half of the frame, but if this were a poster, then that"negative" space could be utilized with an appropriate message. I'm sure that's what you intended all along, right? This is a clever idea, well executed, except I would like to see the pepper itself rendered a little crisper. A funny idea. Ha, ha.

Besides the colors, I think the thing that makes this a strong image is the vantage point you chose from which to make the photograph.

Hi Chris ?
I'm back for another go from scratch. I was a little tired of usefilm, but it's a good site with great people.
You've used your D70 well here to provide us with a classic, colorful travel shot. The lens's quality shows throgh even at this resolution. I have the 17 - 55 which I like alot. This gets good marks for color, clarity, information and even aspect ratio.

Niether you nor your camera froze up? Good for both of you! This is a nice travel-type image procurred at great personal cost, I think. The night shot is probably more effective than a similar one in daylight.

Gee. I thought we had all the world's taggers and grafitti right here in California. I was wrong! The juxtaposition of colors and textures makes this image interesting. (Yes, I'm back.)You have too many good ones among which to choose.

I see FIVE lights . . .Gotcha!
A good idea. My preference would be to see this as a vertical instead of a square image. Maybe you're still visuallizing through a Hassy's viewfinder. I like the gradient in the sky and the flash of warm lights.
I guess I'll come back and start up again. It's not as much fun elsewhere.

We don't have too many lighthouses in Bakersfield! I'm glad that you are taking advantage of yours and putting in pretty images. I like the high vantage point, including just the sea but not the horizon. Glad to be back and see the good work here.

Hello, Dave, old friend. It's kind of nice to be back and start fresh. Where did you ever get the title for this? I guess this proves you're not color blind, or does it? You would have to say that the subject here is color. You've really zero'd in on that single element and elminated all other distractions.

The color cast gives this an other-worldly feeling and, as far as my world goes, this IS another world altogether. This has a strong photojournalistic flair. Also, you have captured that to which we all aspire . . . the classic finger in the nose!

The relaxed poses of the figures take on a diagonal line that is reinforced by the angle of the automobiles ? well, that's the way I see it, anyway. The casual shared conversation, the relaxed demeanors and pastel colors are contrasted against the more severe forms of the city.
I'm sorry for your loss of your dog. I will be facing that prospect soon, too, with my Husky, Blue.
