Very nice colors!

Excelente imagem Coutinho. A porta pelas formas é quase abstracta, quase figurativa. Bem apanhada.

Yes!! Very nice. I predict, homepage for this...

Excellent colors. Perfect for the theme.

Gorgeous!! Love it!!

Shadow, not reflection....

Better in "Backlighting", not really low-light, IMHO. It is nice, tho...

Another GREAT image with 0 comments on the the homepage!! Maybe I'm spending too much time writing comments....?
This is gorgeous, sorry I missed it Laurie.

Lol...Thanks Beamer.

That's ok...It just got featured and I didn't ask for critiques on this one, which may have contributed to the lack of comments.

I've been scarce the last couple of weeks...just too much on my plate at the moment to "play" right now...back to school for the kids, work, etc.

I should have a little more free time in a few weeks...I hope. I miss coming here regularly.

Beautiful clover capture! It must've been quite fragrant down there on the ground! :)

Very nice work. I love the Bokeh.

This is beautiful!! Tough decision I bet about the composition, include the light and, therefore the darker wall, or not?? Probably would be boring if just the 2 windows centered, huh?
A fav for me!!

Wow. Fantastic and dramatic shot. The ocean looks so stormy and threatening. Well done!

Agree, great capture!!!

Gorgeous, very nice. Congrats!
There are 4 images on the homepage right now with no comments.....???? Come on guys....

where was this taken. Very mysterious and ethereal...

Beamer: Thanks.

Ryanopaz: I took the picture in Guatemala close to the city Quetzaltenango. A beautiful place. Almost magic.

Very nice colors.
Awesome shot.
What is it?

Thanks for your comments!
Paper at a rubbish depot is the material.

very creative and a great abstract-nice work!

I love this ...super cool .. and will be a fave of mine!

I agree with all.

I agree with Beamer. While there is nothing that says a portrait has to be flattering, this one heads in the opposite direction immediately.

Hmm, what makes him looks so poorly groomed? I can't really figure it out. Why does it feel so negative to you guys?

This guy is really goofy, and I thought he was eating the sandwich pretty goofily. When I took the photo I was hoping it would just be a funny snapshot of him. I was not really planning to portray any kind of message. But obviously there's a negative vibe coming from this image, and I don't want this to happen again if not planned.

I unfortunately have to agree that the portrait doesn't really communicate anything. I think the negative comes purely from the moment of capture. He may be a very funny guy, but unfortuantely, at the moment you took the photo, there was nothing going on in his face, so he just has the appearance of being blank.

Perhaps it's because so much of his face is obscured by the sandwhich so the only thing left in the photo to communicate are his eyes, and his hands. His hands are simply holding a sandwhich, while his eyes look as though he's holding no thought, maybe because of the downcast angle?

Even with less hue, saturation and moreligth improvement to add a more normal skin tone
wich help this photo even added cropping.
i still just see great focus on eyes.
And eyes doesnt reflect goofy.
Well as many time i do with my photo click delete
and enjoy new experience.
Perseverance is the best road to success.
keep on the good work and be less emotional about your subject what you see in your objective
is not allways what appear a fraction of second after on a photo.

Thanks for your input. I don't really think I was trying to portray anything with the photo but I can see now I've mad a few mistakes which communicate a negative tone.

As for the skin tone, I have a slight colorblindness which is probably responsible for what you're seeing. To me it looks like a perfectly normal skin-tone. Unfortunately this is a disadvantage I can't ever overcome and it will always effect my color photography.

Thanks again for the input everyone.
