Sandra,
This is a great B&W composition, the lines of the frame lead the viewer's eye right into the central point of interest, the brakes. The combination of horzional, vertical, and diagonial lines and the circle formed by the wheel really make a excellent image. Even the handlebar being out of focus, gives the image a great sense of depth. The only criticism I have is the white spot in the lower right hand cornor, and the silly date stamp. turn the date feature off on your camera if you can. You say in your bio, that you're not a photographer, but will be someday, Well, I think you have reached that day.
Excellent Work!
Reguards,
Ray W.

he looks a bit lonley, but who knows, maybe he likes it that way. Great color impact with the blue sky and the green grass, both colors which are very cool.

Great image, the reflection of the sun on the ground in front of the building really draws one into the photo, looks cold.

Love the great pastel colors in this image. And the slow shutter speed really makes the ocean kind of mystifying.

Gabrielle,
Just some suggested changes, crop to emphize faces, get rid of extream red cast by reducing red saturatin and then adjust contrast and color correction, much more could be done, but image, though intreging, has not to much to work with from a technical standpoint.

Ivan,
Great capture, good detail and composition, tough with this subjuct, they usually don't tend to stand still for very long.
These guys are real survivers, you find them from the most barren areas, like death valley to downtown in urban areas.
Excellent work.

Huw,
I really like the composition and color in this image a lot, dosn't look like a white balance problem to me, just a matter of interpertation.
I do a lot of work in raw also. Used to use Nikon's converter to convert them, until PS CS came out, now use it exclusively, gives me a immense amount of control, and can do a lot of thing in the plug-in which I used to have to do in adjustment layers, like color correction. Are you using Canon's raw converter or did you do this in PS. Sure be nice if we could get a standard raw format across all camera vendors, like Adobe is pushing for.
Good work,

I really like this, its amazing how the introduction of a human figure into an image can draw us in and turn what would be just a ordinary image into a great composition.

Good job on capturing eh essense of 'fog', a very tough subject to deal with, it obscures, yet in some ways highlights with a glow, and what is the color of fog,anyway? Like the Pigeon pt. fog image too,

Mike,
Excellent Work, Great detail and nice soft colors, like the texture in the rock.
The burned sky in the upper left seems a bit distracting, however. Maybe tone it down a bit, just some random thoughts. Saw a flyer about some photo work you're doing with some kids over on the coast. Good work, keep it up,

Franz,
Thanks for the comment on my Pigeon Point Lighthouse image, yes its really called Pigeon Point, although I've seen more seagulls there than pigeons.
This image of yours is a trully impressive tower.
Needs to be straightened just a little though.

Jayr,
I think I like this version better than the color version, it places more emphasis on the man working on the boat who is really the central figure, and who expresses the story that the photo is about. the color version has too many distractions which distract ones attention from this central figure.
Good Work!!

this is great,
there's something surralistic about headless beings,
in bright glowing colors,
just a mop of fur at the top of the neck.

Mike,
thanks for the comment, How i'm doing, am i in or out?? good question.
Been gone most of summer off and on, kind of in and out, you could say, mostly out. Back now, might still be "out of it", at least off and on though, have to wait and see.

Love the contrast between the soft warm browns and the cool blue-greens. Great composition and excellent detail in the foreground which makes a nice contrast as it flows into the soft background.
