Great color hue here, the red against the rest works nicely. I like the use of reflection and the calm feel of this image. Nice work.

Tom, great grain structure here. I really like the pictorial sense a lot of your images in these series are having. Keep it up.

Very interesting portfolio and lots of nice work, much more abstract and in depth than a lot of stuff on this site. Lots of conceptual info here, found info, very nice.

Thanks for the comment. Funny we have almost the same image, maybe it is pretty cliche. Cool we both were there though, great place. I was there in 2003 also. Thanks for the comments.

Interesting work here. Nice portfolio also. I generally don't find flowers that interesting, but your use of lighting and presentation is quite nice and abstracted. I like in this image the minimalist use of line and form, very abstracted yet recognizable. Nice capture of the textures also.

Erik, I really enjoy this one. Throughout your portfolio you have a nice balance of more commercial based work and portraiture and then things I tend to enjoy more, such as this. I find much more depth in this image, the thought process, and the overall presentation. Great abstract qualities here and very nice tones throughout. Nice job.

Miguel, nice work here. For starting out you have a strong portfolio also, good work. Watch the color hues though, some of your pieces push the colors a little into the obviously digital areas, which is ok sometimes, but can be cliche and overused. I like this particular work here, and the ideas it brings and relates. Interesting perspective and keep it up. regards, Curtis

Thanks Mark. yea this was a wall on the right side close to me and then on the left was a far wall and window with light on it. I shot the exposure just for the highlighted regions, leaving the rest pure black and as simple form. thanks again.

Although not of subject matter of particular interest to me, these shots have been done quite nicely and are interesting. The capture of movement and the dramatic and abstracted sense it leaves us works quite well. the lack of a backdrop helps this, with colors behind, the subjects would not have the same isolated sense. nice work.

Alyazia, nice work here. I really like the division of space from the radiating lines. also this is a great exposure with contrast just as it should be in this situation. nice work.

nice textures throughout and strong repetition of the round form in the rope and the barrel. i would possibly consider cropping in on the right side just a little of the wall. i think it would pull the vertical lines and movement forward more and make a more dominate eye path compositionally. nice work.

very interesting and varied portfolio, nice stuff. i really enjoy the capture of the texture here and the value variation within the texture against the strong shadow and geometric forms of the light fixture. nice and simplified but beautiful.

Calin, thanks a lot, i do appreciate the comment. i often feel people here on usefilm are not harsh enough, giving comments like "i like it, or it looks nice" and not really analyzing anything, so thank you very much. i recently went and spent hours scanning negatives to get some current work ready to put on here, and then later found out the cd i burned won't open, so this is yet another pulled from deep in the old photo archive. i'll try to get some more up to date and what i consider more effective works on here soon. thanks again. regards, Curtis

very strongly centered subject, yet effective here. looking through your portfolio, i find this one of your more interesting, because this shows much more thought and in depth work in the abstract process. to me, effective or not, this more experimental work shows an ability that not just anybody can do, and i think you should continue experimenting more until you find something unique and interesting to you. these type of photos, unique and personal, are the ones that people will remember, not the types that everyone else wants to look at. good job and good luck.

Mary, i enjoy your work and think you are going in good directions, experimenting a lot and not afraid to move from the more common and 'popular' styles. i really like the perpective here and the shapes in the negative space, but i find the punchy contrast a little distracting. the lack of tone throughout the right side pulls away from the subject, perspective, and forms you have captured. a little burning in this area, to add soft details, could really enhance this work. good luck and keep it up.

Calin,
thanks, I appreciate the thoughtful comments. as for the crop, i shot it this way because my intent was to create something not as centered on the subject herself, but more for a mix of her, and the forms created by the hair and the stripes with the landscape. i think a looser crop would greatly reduce the emphasis on the shapes and forms, and be more focused on just a person. i appreciate the good comments though. thanks.

very nice work here. the skin textures are nice and the controlled exposure and contrast allow this. you don't have large bleached areas. when you talk about editing, it seems your focus is more on after the fact. you're producing nice work, so i think the focus should not be on the edit, but on the original shot, as if it were a negative. focus on the original and how to correct it and then editing will be unnecesary or very easy. nice job here.
