Kim,
Have you ever wondered who those people are that would pick your shot as a favorite? Well acturally I have picked two of yours. This one and the Shrouded in the mist. I love them both. Great Job on both. Keep it up

William,
I saw this shot in the random views, it had 185 views and 1 comment. after I brought it up, I realized why. It's so small! Hell its not much bigger than the thumbnail. (I'm talking about the photo!)

Timothy,
Before I critique your photo, I will first have to tell you why I stopped to look at it. My son did a sculpture in college that looked very similar to this, only the truck was on blocks. He goes to college in a small Iowa town, and named the sculpture "Iowa Yard Art." Now to your shot, you have a lot of potential here with this scene, I would try from different angles, different focus points, and mainly try to do this when the sun is not so harsh. You loose a lot of detail and contrast with trying to balance out the tones. But keep it up and keep 'em coming!

Joffre,
I'm trying to decide on this one. my eye keeps jumping from the light of the bowl to the light mistiness if the tree in the background. I do not know if that is what you were trying to achieve here, but it does not flow as well as some of your past work. The detail of the pine needles is tack sharp. cant argue that. But still love your work!

Karen,
When it come to photgraphing something with color, I have two passions; cars and flowers. Strange combonation I know, but I think it has to do with the contrasting strengths and the infinite spectrum of colors we see in each. You have acheive a wonderful job here. The lighting on the poolen on the bottem of the stamens are great. You have showed how delicate the flower is, yet how powerful the color can be. (9)

Dawn,
If you could post your tech data it might help in figuring out where to help you. This shot seems to have a lot of grain. I'm not sure if its from the film or if you have enlarged it so with the scanner. Your highlights or the right seem a little hard. So maybe a filter such as a yellow or orange could help here on the b&W film. I like the subject matter here, just work on the lighting a little more, and unless you are going after the effect of a grainy shot, most like a finer grain film.(6)

Maarten,
I really like looking at the shots in this project because it gives me a chance to go back into the portfolios of the photogragher and see their other work and try to get an Idea of why they choose the shot they did for the best photo they ever took. As I looked back through your folio, I found you have taken some pretty good shots. Some of your flower shots are great in my opinion. The city scape shot at night is another great shot. Although I wondered why you choose this one? Is it because of the composition, being there at the right time? If so, I do understand your choice. I enjoy your work, keep'em coming!

Brendon,
Copyright 1951? I dont think so! i think i see a late model suburban (or suv of some sort) on the far right! But the shot brought back some great old meories of going up to the Independence Square and seeing ol' Harry Truman on his walk and going to the dime store and getting a soda at the fountain! Thanks for the trip man, I needed it!

Brendon,
When I see your name come up, I automatically think of pix from Desert Storm. When I saw this shot, it was hard to think of you taking it. it does not seem like your style. Hey I'm not knocking it, I was just suprised. When I first saw the shot, I thought this was something to be used in an "Inspirational Advertisment" with the heavens, clouds, and the sun coming through. Anyway, nice shot. (8)

Eric,
I wish I had taken this shot and you had a feather up your rear, then we would both be tickled. I love the shot. I wish you would have provide some info on it though. Did you use any filters, what format. The framing of the trees is a classic view in my opinion. It will never age if attempted correctly, and I believe you have acheived this here. Good Job Buddy!

I know I am going to tick some off by saying this but I hate cats. However, this has to be the best shot of a cat I have ever seen! The colors of the fur and nose are great. very good detail. Grreat choice in cropping!
It takes quite a bit for me to even stop and look at a cat picture, and you got me to comment on it too! (9) would have been a 10 but it's a cat

Thanks for comment on my shot. And yes I do like the ilford film, especially for sharp contrast such as the shots i took at the Lincoln Memorial. I would like to comment on your shot here, however what can I say that everyone (especially Marc) didnt say Good job on this. Next time have grandma make some warm pudding before bedtime. Might help you sleep. (8)

Hey man don't give up! Come in a little closer to the blooms. The oak tree in the back ground and the wrought iron fence distract from your blossoms. Try some different angles with just the fence and blossoms and see what happens.
Keep 'em coming!
