Beautiful shot, I took a similar shot and I belive from the same angle. I think that this photo is fine but you could try to add some blur with ps just in order to eliminate the little grain noise.

Hi, fellow Illinoisan! I think that, if it's possible to go back downtown, to take this in a vertical format. I'm not really wild about how close the tip of his nose is to the edge of the frame. Also, the flags and south wing of the building don't add very much to this perspective, so if you shallowed the DOF to take them out of focus, it would look a little better. Great subject, Nicolette. I've like so much of the stuff in your portfolio, but I really like the oft-captured subject looked at in a new way. Good job.

Hi Nicolette,
the perspective of this shot is amazing, I love it very much.
But...
why did you crop the legs of the lion? I think, if you took the entire figure, it could give a more powerfull effect, and much better if you included a bigger part of the building and the sky. Don't you have any other shot of it?
And, second, have you worked on the colour? This blue tonality is a bit dark and makes lose many details.
Anyway, I like your point of view.

Hey Nicolette, I think you're on to something here. What I like about this picture is the hair. What I don't like about this picture is anything that isn't hair. Get what I mean?
This photo could be all about colour and texture. I think that's why we both like it, but you haven't yet isolated the subject. Maybe you could try again.

Nice pastel colours. The composition is simple but effective. The framing at the bottom with the fence works. The tree is well-placed. But I would prefer not having it's tip cut off.

Marvelous colors, Nicolette, and I think you've chosen a wonderfully interesting tree for silhouette! There are so many of your pictures that I've found pleasing. Added this to my favourites.

Could'nt you remove the furniture or whatever it is?? Maybe it's the monitor, but flowers seem a bit out of focus. Keep trying though.

Cute bunnies. I'd prefer a little more DOF.
Rabbits can be litter-box trained -- more easily than cats, even. As with any young pet, the first week or so can be a little messy but that changes as they get a bit more mature. If you're really interested, I'd suggest visiting the House Rabbit Society's Web site:
http://www.rabbit.org/
Just remember that a rabbit can make a good pet, but they do need about as much care as a cat. They're not like pet mice or guinea pigs. In fact, they're no longer classified a rodents (though I've never put much stock in classifications).

Sure I can ship it Fed Ex. And yes, the only pet messier would be a duck. I know the guy who owns them is getting rid of a couple if there's anyone in the Chicago area who likes cute ,little bunnies.

cool! i like this other background better, still blue (great) and its a little darker to give more contrast, but i really like the pose of these little guys on the first post...
btw, thanx for your comment on my shot, i know the quality is not that good, but it?s just because of my scanner, the original printed shot its really good... i?m thinking on getting a better one, of course, as soon as i get my new camera first, the one i had is broken...
regards...

Actually, I did kind of move them around to where I needed them. They're still young enough where they don't run away.After a milk dinner they kept falling asleep wherever I put them. What do you think of this background color? I have another that's darker still, but I thought it might be too dark.I didn't think the focus was toogood on this , but maybe you'll think differently.

i like it, its really touching, i think this shot may be posted on the friendship proyect, thats what it shows to me... two very good friends.
btw, you should try (even though i guess you didnt ask them to pose, lol) some blanket or whatever they are standing of some other color, maybe that would give the shot a little more contrast and the bunnies will look better, just my opinion, but blue is good for me anyway... nice shot!

This one does work in my opinion because for one thing you cannot even see their eyes anyway. The focus in this case is on their cute little noses. I like it. Normally though, I believe you would want more depth.

Nicolette: This has good composition, workable color and exposure. Focus is still your problem. This camera should have auto focus (I'm not positive--let me know) When you use the auto focus always aim between the nose and the eye where there is good dark/white contrast for the af to lock into--also, your subject will always be the most in focus. With 400 speed film you should always shoot at 125th of a second when you are starting out. Three possibles--bad focus--jiggle--poor scan. The essence of talent is in this image. Now you need to work on the technical aspects. The camera is your tool.

Hi Nicolette:
To answer your scanning question, I'd start at 300DPI, do any post-processing that's required, then downsample the image to 450x338, or whatever image size you plan to use.

Looks like you need a bit more space at the top. Perhaps stooping down to take the picture might've allowed you to get a bit more space at the top, and at the same time preventing the tree's branches from blocking the roof of the building.
Is this a scan of a print? You can clear up the scans a little bit by doing a bit of post-scan sharpening and contrast adjustment :-).

Nice bougainvilla or 'paper flower' as the Japanese call it. To begin with take a whole roll of film--maybe two--shoot at all times of the day and shoot from all angles--front back sides--look for the light--see what appeals to you--what is most beautiful. Take sixty, seventy a hundred photos of a single thing--when they are all back, compare and study them--if you haven't documented what you did for each one--try to remember. The creative eye must also be the creative experience--use your emotions in the beginning to find what you like--then move on to your intellect to the thousands of subtle problem solving riddles that photographers have to deal with. I could give you a dozen comments on this image for what you should and should not do--but you have to start seeing with the camera first. The good news is that you saw this picture--you took it--and you posted it. Now start shooting and posting. The crew here will lead you on you on your way.
