i like the abstract sense to this and the large dark negative spaces, but i find the right side compositionally a little too much. cropping in slightly could stop this strong division and add more interest. nice work though.

nice work here. very nice patterns created in the sand. have you by chance studied or seen works of Edward Weston? if not, look into some of his sand dune works, amazing abstracts.

Tony, gracias por tus comentarios. Estoy de acuerdo contigo que mi foto está demasiado brillante aquí, especialmente por la derecha y arriba. Cuando yo lo puse por jpeg, muchas detalles de estas partes salieron. Muchas gracias por los comentarios. Saludos

nice work here Larry. your portfolio is strong and you continue with good stuff. i like the effect you have used here, with the motion. although i'm not sure if the motion blur and harsh angling have not been overdone a little. when i see a photo i like i want it to keep me staring for awhile, examing details and following the lines and shapes throughout. in this example, the strong contrast between focus and angling makes it more difficult to spend as much time looking at the actual photo for what it is, and not just moving right to recognition of the technique used to create it. i don't mean to put down your image in any way, it is strong and very creative, keep it up.

Tony, aquí tienes una foto bellísima, y la idea está muy interesante y abstracta. Mucha gente usa refleciones en sus fotos, pero tu lo has usado en una manera muy buena. Está bien padre, qué chevere.

i also think the chin is not important here, and actually this is probably more interesting without it. it adds a different, more abstract perpective to the portrait. nice lighting and exposure too. interesting stuff.

very nice use of technique/technology and the understanding of it to create something interesting and effective. a lot of people use ps or darkroom techniques to create stuff, but without real artistic or conceptual purpose, but here this creates an interesting composition, and adds a conceptual level, especially with the title. nice job.

thanks for the comments. I have to fully agree with you there. earlier in my life, before really getting into more abstract and creative photography, studying it, and really looking into other photographers, a lot of these types of things didn't do it for me either. it's easy for people to overpass what i see as the most complex of photographs, not just representations, but outcomes of ideas, emotions, and sometimes just plain abstract views of the world around us. nice to find other people on the site who understand beyond sunsets, flowers, and studio portraits.

This is nice because it works formally and it also sends a message and makes some commentary. nice work here. looking through your portfolio you have many interesting things, although i think you would benefit by experimenting with some more abstract or creative situations and photos. you are doing very nice work now, but for the learning process branching out and trying various styles could be beneficial. nice job.

thanks for the comment. this was part of some pretty experimental shots, all more or less spur of the moment while digging through an abandoned apartment complex. there was no electricity, so my only light was the flashlight, which is the round thing on the ground in this image, lighting the chair in the back and the dirty floor. i didn't want a real clear focus, and shot with a fast iso to add grain, but i think the lack of focus throughout takes away from it. thanks again.

Bryan, thanks for the comment. chaos was more or less my intention with this one, something strange, blurred, and a little creepy. i think the lack of focus throughout takes away a lot from it though. in this case it may be too much, but i hope you don't have the notion that a photo needs to be in focus and nice and clear. maybe a snapshot, but there are many times when focus is not the desire or the end result. in my case i think it doesn't work very though. thanks for the comment.

Alyazia, very nice work here, this is interesting. Formally good with textures, nice lighting and exposure and composition. it also leaves a whole lot open for the viewer to analyze and decide, stuff to contemplate. it has both a dark side or mood and a lighter and more happy one, due to the mix of dark and light values and tones. nice work here.

thanks Larry. in my portfolio towards the end there is another version of this photo, which I think actually is more effective. it's a horizontal shot, and the subject and the tree are seperated, and the clouds are exposed better. thanks for the comment.

yea i personally go for the bw version also. i like the color here because it 'warms it up' and really gives it 'life', but i still think the bw pushes the light pattern more and in a more abstract sense. thanks for the comments.
