This is excellent Paul, I just love it, especially the waves, curves and ripples, a never ending story indeed. The strong contrast reminds me of the yin and yang symbol, it's a weird thought maybe. Best regards.

Thank you Paul. I am always stuck with arranging stuff when it comes to commercial (kind of...) photos. You are probably right, or I should've put the spoon somewhere else. Had enough of those stupid vegetables for a while :)

I think this is more than just a part of a statue/tomb, angel feathers made of stone... gives me a surreal impression... I like it. Best regards.

Thank you for stopping by Art.
I'm always curious what can others see in my photos, first I did not choose a title, but probably my photos are not so good to tell a story. Sometimes there is no story, just a moment in time, in this case, this photo is a portrait of my father. I haven't asked him to "pose", in fact I'm not even sure he knew I was taking pictures. Later I found this one interesting, just looking through the window as if he was thinking about the past years.
I loved your photos, went through your portfolio because I was hoping to find some night shots of the light show in Tsarevetz :)
I am half bulgarian ;)
You last photos are absolutely stunning, I wanted to leave a comment but all I could say is something like "I want to hang this on my wall!!!" :)
Thank you again for your kind words, best regards.

This is a very interesting photo Saad.
You found a great subject and moment... The only thing that is disturbing me is that I keep thinking what is the old man looking at, the little girl doesn't catch my attention. It's still a great capture but I would have definitely tried to compose the man on the left side of the photo to leave more space towards the way he is looking. I know this is difficult if you have limited time to capture a moment and you are not working with models to ask them where to stand and what to do, so you did a great job.
Best regards.

Extraordinary portrait, it makes me wonder what is behind this face, what is the story of this man, the wrinkles tell a lot about his life... Looks like a young soul though, there is something kinky in his look and his smile. For some reason I'd say he looks like a sailor. I can't tell if you used photoshop to add more dramatic sharpness and details or it's the lens, but I forget about technical details if I look at the subject. B&w is definitely the best choice. Great photo, best regards.

Thank you Paul. Actually I had no slight clue either, my studio photos are pictures of my colleagues which I took when I started working there and asked them to let me practice on them. :) I have never even seen studio lights and equipment before.
Appreciate your comments.

Very interesting and creative, Clay.
If I look at it as a fashion shot, the background is somewhat distracting though, with the lens you used I might've tried more dof, same colors and lights but I'd have focused on the lady. There's a little bit too much empty space on top and i don't think I'd crop it right below the knees. I think this would be a great fall color-abstract portrait with a different crop and some slight changes but that might be only my crazy obsession about portraits :)
You have a very creative way of seeing things. And lucky to have a great model here, her pose is perfect and natural.
Just for the record, these are just my first thoughts and i was only trying to mention some minor things I would have done in a different way.
Best regards.

Dear Saad, we meant to say that unfortunately there are still countries in the Mid East where people do not tolerate "western" people and find "us" disrespectful. (I have faced personally this problem as a European woman who lives in Kuwait.) Your photos and your way of thinking is absolutely normal. God bless.

Clay, I kept looking at this photo and your other shots as well...
Equipment, space and many other things can be an obstacle, or challenge in a way. I just wanted add something: what I like the most about your photos is that you are not trying to show an ideal "fake" woman. You depict their natural beauty.
Kudos for that. Best regards.

Absolutely stunning portrait of a beautiful model.
Simple, yet very powerful capture of her eyes.
I am not sure if it's retuch/afterwork, I would love to see a little bit more skin detail. Definitely b&w is a great choice here, love the hijab/scarf, adds a gentle touch of innocence and mystery. Best regards.

I would have shown a little bit more of the ships/boats at the top but that's just my taste. I love the colors, especially the sea. Nice work.

I think this is an extraordinary photo, great shot.
The only thing that keeps me wondering is that I don't know why the lights distract me, I keep looking above the subject, but there is nothing really to see there. I might've chosen a tight crop, maybe that's just me and it would be a different category, you were very lucky to capture such a great moment, the "lonely" musician who's playing even if there's nobody around. Love the tones here, excellent photo. Best regards.

Nice model for a fashion shoot. I might've used an edge light on the left to add more depth and eliminate the shadow on the background, and also some hair light if possible. The pose looks natural, and the environment is interesting. These are just some thoughts, hope you don't mind it, it's a good shot the way it is. Best regards.

It might look confusing because of the framing, I wanted the line of the eyes to point to the top right corner and the lips to the bottom left. I'm not sure this sentence makes any sense :) not quite sure how the photo looks like on the site because I'm using my phone. I was more concerned about the lighting which is flat here but didnt want to torture the model to keep staring at the softbox. Thank you for the useful feedback.
