Very cool concept. I love the composition along with the look and extreme lighting. The red eye is menacing! I think this was very successful and accomplishes what you were trying to do artistically. Technically, however, I wish it were not blurry. It looks like a bit of hand shake? I know the rebel itself has issues with low lighting situations, I haven't personally messed with it with extreme light and dark though - so take my statements with a grain of salt. The eyes in sharp focus which is the most important thing. Is the blur intentional then?
Oh, I also like how the blackness of the face drops off into the black background. I also enjoy that the black is truly black and the white is true white. (When I was in my darkroom class, with film, I could never achieve true blacks & whites - just a mush of greys.)

I like your b&w version, it sounds silly but I hadn't tried that.
I do have to say I took this with a Fuji FinePix 3megapixel long before I knew what I was doing technically. (way back in 2004 - hehe disclaimer)
Anyways, I did mess with the color in Photoshop (something I usually don't do) I can't remember why.... I think there was something funny about the original color. (The original is not on this computer sadly) Turning it into b&w fixes that quickly and it is probably more effective. Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated!

Ha, I know its about the guitar, but I was paying attention to the rug! (bet you can't tell what industry I'm in.) I a succor for color gradation and aqua blues. I like how dark and subtle the background is against the cream of the stratocaster. I also enjoy the diagonal lines and how the colors look like they drop off into nothingness at the corners. Great job! Hmm...I know I'm due for a dentist appointment.

I really like this photo, with the stark white background. The composition is superb. I wish though, that the head of the bird was in focus rather than the tail. Additionally, I wish there was a tad bit of white space below the tail at the bottom of the photo. Great job!

Very delicate. I like how the white flowers reveal that they have a purple hue when you get close. I enjoy the yellow-sage background; it makes a nice neutral against the subject. That's an awesome macro with the edge of the wasp's wings out of focus. Do you have any idea what kind of flower the wasp is sitting on?

Not only do I appreciate your composition and thought for each of your photographs, I am also impressed with the quality that you are able to obtain with your S2 IS. I had an S1 IS prior to my 5D and I couldn't imagine getting the clarity that you are able to achieve. Wonderful job! I can't wait to see what you can do with a SLR. :)

I originally thought that the reflection was oil in the water judging from the thumbnail version of this photograph. I agree that the reflections add interest to this shot. I like it!

I love your series of paper images! What kind of light source did you use...a light table? I am also interested to know the type of paper. Did you have difficulty keeping the paper in place? I full of questions because I love your work so much! I keep on putting them in my "favorites" category and I keep on exclaiming "oooooo!" at each one I come across. They keep on getting better and better.

I like this very much. I enjoy the contrast of the weight of the chain against the fluid nature of the water.
The color variation in both the metal and the water is very nice. The striation in the water is a subtle and uncomplicated background that allows the viewer to imagine a larger marine world around this tight close up shot. All the colors work very well together: these tones of blues, browns, and oranges could be chosen by an interior designer. The iridescence is great as well.
I like how the shadows drop completely into black in some areas and how the light is blown out in other sections. The light from the sun and the bounce light from the water is wonderful. (The warm rust colored under glow.) It is great to see an object lit from multiple angles: it adds depth and interest. The texture and weathering of the links shows their age and use.
The composition is straight forward and appropriate for the big fat lines of the subject.
This is beautiful due to the subject’s simplicity and complexity.

Ha ha! He must be thinking: "That's the last time I'm licking a rock! Blech!"
What happened? His tongue is the same color as the dirt!
I agree with Carlen about the off center composition of the photo. It's great...and so are the colors. It is nice that the background is out of focus as well.

It is nice to see an image composed mainly of just color. It is refreshing to enjoy the interaction of hue and tone - just for color's sake. The glass lines at the bottom give a nice anchor to the composition as well.

I enjoy the deterioration of the leaves. It is a nice contrast against the vivid and lively petals of the flower. The photograph has a nice harvest feel. Nicely done.

How did this get BIP so fast? It's still on the first page...also, it said it was uploaded on Sept. 10th, but today is the 9th. I suppose it is the 10th somewhere in the world...
Also, when does the staff decide on BIP, SC, EC, etc?
In regards to this photo, it is nice (I don't want to be mean) but I have seen better landscapes that have not gotten BIP.
