I like how you converted it into a 1950's style photo effect, similar to ones taken with an old Brownie camera and flash bulbs, remember those?

A lovely inn, at a lovely countryside. It's nice how the snow provides fill lighting for the shady side of the house.

When we photograph, we paint with light. This takes it to a more direct approach. I like the pitch black, which is great for the colors of the light drawings.

What a view! It looks like the 'magic kingdom' all grown up, if you know what I mean. You can do a lot with the sky, instead of it being total white-out. What can be done is taking an image of clouds or unusual atmospherics and adding it on as a layer. Lots can be done; it's a fun image to work on, and of course, to look at.

I think this is something that tells a lot about the home. It's not how new or how large it is, but about who lives there, and the good that's in it. And there are memories that if a home could speak, would tell of things that perhaps only a photograph could communicate.

When it comes to light, you are a romanticist and sentimentalist. Keep up the wonderful vision..best wishes!

I like how you used the formations on the left and right to create a natural frame within the photograph itself. The sky fading to deep blue is spectacular, as are the red monuments. We were there in 1986 if I remember correctly. The color print film has deteriorated badly during the years. Maybe I'll be back there again.

A spectacular landscape, with a somewhat surreal element in the form of shed antlers looking like an alien life form. I also like the sharpness via the Leica lens...how I miss my Digilux II. Sigh.

It brings back memories of when I did a series in LA in the '80's. It's alive with humanity. Can you imagine what reactions this would cause a couple hundred years from now (if humans are still around a couple hundred years from now)?

I like the effect, because it doesn't have the PS look. It's more subtle, more of an in-lens appearance.

It's literally a revelation into another person's world; that microcosm made even more distinct by the unconventional pinhole.

Looking into some mysterious abyss. What a view. Makes it even more mysterious with the camera your are using. I like Holgas.

Nicely set up, and the the direction of the lighting is just right. The only thing is, I think the light's too much on the yellow end. There are situations where going to the far yellow or far blue end works, but I think this should go just a bit more to the blue end.

That is true. Impartiality, a list of aesthetic criteria, a little bit of subjectivity, and visual appeal should be it.

Andre, that's why I think everyone should come in with the mindset that it's not for awards, but to share. If the staff awards you, that to me is a big deal, and I'm very thankful for the recognition. I was thinking of the possibility of creating an award button that anybody can press to give a photographer an award. In a way, that exists already, in the form of "add to favorites."

Is this local? I love the old California-style Spanish architecture, especially the missions with their arches and high ceilings. This is timeless in its atmosphere.
