Nice shot Bruno; I like the composition. I feel like I'm standing on a street corner in Toronto. The only change I would make would be to include more of the street in the picture just to balance it out.

Thanks for the nice comments, John. I agree with you about the lighting, but the duck might not have been there! I think the chairs and the trees would have stood out more if the lighting was different.

Great photo Matej. The tones of the glass are beautiful in black and white. Lots of interesting curves and patterns which work very well together. I think the photo may be even better without the people in it; most of the time people add interest, but for whatever reason they are distracting to me in this image. The photo is very nice regardless.

Matej - thanks for all of your critiques on my images. I really value your input since you do some creative and beautiful work in black and white. You're right about the lighting and the film - the only thing I had handy was an old roll of HP5 lying around, so I did the best I could with it. I actually like the way the leaf turned out in the background; I think it adds some interest. If possible, I would like to discuss with you sometime what films, developer, etc. you use if different situations. Take care.

Thanks Saeed; I like the picture the way you have edited it. It is distracting having the post coming out of the top of the cat's head. I think ideally I should have taken the picture at a different angle so that the post was offset from his head. Thanks for the comments.

I really love the colors in this photo and the soft texture of the flower; the colors are simple but work very well together. The little bit of green on the right hand side of the photo balances it nicely, although a slight bit more would not hurt. Nice shot.

The water in this photo is absolutely beautiful; dividing the photo in half with the water level really works with the mountains and positioning of the trees, which seem to frame the sun and its reflection. This photo could have been taken a number of different ways which would have not been as effective. Nice shot.

Thanks Zafar; I really like the way you cropped and framed the photo. I actually played around with that a little bit before I posted the photo, but decided to include the entire image for whatever reason. The fuji provia film does a really nice job with the sky and water, but I was hoping for a little more color saturation with the trees. Thanks for the comments.

Beautiful shot Mary Sue - I really love the colors in this photo and the way you framed it. The small amount of red from the coastal rocks really adds nice contrast to the cool colors of the sky, ocean, and tidal pools. I don't think missing a little detail in the rocks takes away anything from this picture.

Thanks Mary Sue; I think I just got lucky on this one. I have several other pictures that didn't come out quite so well. I agree a little more room up top would be nice and open up the picture. Thanks for the comment.

Very interesting photo; you have an excellent eye - but maybe the title should be art imitating life? I'm willing to bet the tree was there first.

The duck was there - I swear! No (well, very little) editing. Thanks for the comments Allan; any critiquing is greatly appreciated as I am trying to improve my technique. Unfortunately, I am somewhat limited with my equipment. I look forward to seeing more of your photos; very nice work.

Thank you for my first comment, Christine! That was very nice to hear. I noticed you have a beautiful sunset photo also and some very nice flower macros. Love the "abandoned" composition. This website has really motivated me to get out and take more photos. Take care.
