High key, low contrast, difficult trick. Really lovely shot, simplicity in set up and subtle tones, and a hint of melancholy.

Terrific Sammy, inspirational work and such modesty in your words. A great explanation worded so that anyone can understand, you make it seem so simple! If only ....
About time you hit home page, be no keeping you off it now I reckon.
Cheers, Ian

Interesting organic macro, looks like a pomegrante. Strange how disturbing the vivid green element is against the earthy tones and textures.

The long lends really accentuates the steep mountain side looming over the church which is nicely picked out from its surroundings. The chuch tower makes a noble effort to mimic the mountain.

I assume this is a decorative ceramic in a cafe, nice simple job by the original designer and creator of the tile and makes for a nice photo, enchanced by your presentation.

I like how the exhaled smokey breath follows the line of the cigarette. Painful death in progress. Still, it's an adult product for adults with choices, isn't it? Yeah, right.

The transitional light accentuates an impression that the potter turns the dull earthy clay into something bright and useful. It's like the clay is given a new life by the potter's hands and you can almost expect the new pots to be throbbing with the promise of exciting new life. In fact it might turn out to be equally mundane and even shattered. Still, there's always hope and that's what your picture breathes.

One of my favourite places, a beautiful rugged spot, easy enough to walk and spectacular views.
Great conditions here with the steely blue sky and light picking our colour in the rocks. For altogether different conditions see http://www.usefilm.com/image/567201.html

The thumb resembles one of those classic American prairie images but the full picture reveals something more unique. The cloud forms resemble dunes in the sky,the rainbow hints at something tantalising behind the mound and connects the different parts of the frame. It may be minimalist but the whole image is full of interest and the result transports the viewer to the place and time. Very special, Carmem

I like the photo a lot, it comes up a little dark but could be easily edited to bring up some brightness without losing the rich tones and textures of the wall. The face at the window is a nice surprise on opening from the thumbnail.

A double headed monster Andrew? Not with those smiles, and missing teeth do make for cutes shots. Very infectuous and I like the tight crop. I find the settings quite interesting here, such a fast shutter speed for the light and the digital ISO800 does resemble a fast film here.

Beautiful image and edit, the catching the sun against the darkened sea is eyecatching. There are a lot of jpg artefacts in the sand section which suggest overworking in lossy jpg format, if the original file is safe this is a wallhanger.

Brings back memories of walking here before work in the morning, I like the misty mood, and how the floodlights are still catching part of the mosque.

Great detail piece, the knot in the wood is combines so well with the rusty knocker. The piece demands to be sharper though and posted bigger to enjoy the detail.

I'm not sure that I like the canvas effect but I do like the scene and the way you have composed it with the large foreground wheel anchoring on corner and an exit at the opposite. Looks hot, dry and abandoned.

Really smart observation Jose, the smoke is intriguing as to its source and seems to become a natural part of the landscape, in harmony rather than conflicting with the plant. Adds up to a good graphic image with a challenge to the viewer.

This is my pick of the three Rina, just enough colour, the rock looks like some organism draining the pool. It is a beautiful piece of beach detail, great observation.

Really lush and makes for a good reflected nature abstract, espcecially strong if you crop away the bottom to remove the light corner which although it gives a reference to the sky, distracts. The real action is in tones and transition of dark to light laterally across the frame.

There's something hypnotic and demonic about this, your eyes just hold the viewers eyes fixedly, a challenge to look away. Different, and SO different to your recent office portraits. Have a great trip to India, and do try to keep the curry out of your beard, it stains something rotten. Now that would be scary, flourescent yellow streaks! Ian

Whilst we inevitably mourn, the end of a long lfe well lived is a cause for celebration and your shot pulls off something incredible, something I've never quite seen before, something comforting and accepting, and your words perfectly capture what comes off the screen but even without words your sensitivity and intimacy and as photographer and a welcome loved one radiate over the scene. I think that could be the magic part, the photographer is emotionally involved, and your daughter is getting incalculably valuable lessons in love and respect. I admire this piece of work. Ian

Superbly done Emre, not just a caught reflection but a well planned out spacial composition, and of course wonderful gritty true B&W tones and grain. Really makes me hope we never see the absolute death of film, there will always be a artistic place for it. Ian

I like this find, like siblings or partners, one male, one female. The pallete behind the subject is so perfect in colour, the editing glow (I imagine) also works artistically well. Excellent Marco.

Terrific John, minimalist in colour and subject matter yet full of life ad movement. The birds make a random pattern in the frame which could hardly be better if you had cut and pasted them all yourself! Makes a great abstract and also a graphic study of the storks in flight.
