Wow, how did you get it so sharp in exactly the right place?? Good colours too.

Lots of trial and error! Timer, tripod and sitting on a stool!
Thank you!

Beautiful. Would be great for Shallow DOF also :)

Great detail... and a really interesting idea to frame it so you can't see the pupil at all.

Thank you!
Was a tough one to get right!

Nice! I like unaranged real life compositions. Why don't you add it to 'selective saturation', too?

I've got one real comment: it's a bit pity the giant car disturbes the background. The smaller black car isn't annoying me.

Thanks Tamara :)
I agree about the cars. Bummer.

Great movement in the photo! I really like the colors!

Very nice motion blur.
Great shot with wonderful details for long exposure.

this looks great and i love the movement/colors but it makes me uneasy :/

Love the blur, doesnt seem to be your normal motion blur if that makes sense!

wow...all those colors are crazy! Very cool picture!

I agree with Claude that the bottom left should be cropped a little as my eye tends to be drawn back to that area.

The picture itself though is wonderful in that the minimalist effect is just working very well.

Good job Alex!

i rather like the raw earthy texture of the "bare" area, it seems that the texture and the sky both have a gradient effect with the tree landing somewhere in between, perhaps stepping back from the shot to include a bit more of that would give a continuation of that theme and work with the angular nature of the grass lines as well, I can see why you would hesitate to crop it completely out, but it might make for a more accessible shot.

stunning in its simplicity, the tones really give the feeling of the coldness

Beautiful image - very stark!

I like this one - stark and moody and very compelling. Well done!

Best,
Jon

Yes, I also like the way the yellow line and gutter take you into the shot - very effective perspective and use of angle. I like the laughing and joking, but obviously the lady on the left either doesn't get it is isn't impressed. Cool touch to capture the bloke in the middle with the camera - almost feels like a very congenial camera club outing :-) ...

nice candid shot
where is it

It was taken in a part of Seoul called Insa-dong. Thanks all for the comments

Very pretty light you have here - super capture and interesting composition - well done!

Best,
Jon

This image fits.

Agree with all the positive comments above. I also like the light here with no shadows etc, it looks like the walkers have justs been dropped in from another scene. Composition works well with the strong diagonal almost dividing the two "worlds".

I full agree with boyd. The strong diagonal was also what struck me.
Jan

Thanks for the comments everyone! I found them very helpful. I wish I could say that the strong diagonal separating them was planned, but it was entirely fortuitous!

yes, good timing. well balanced bw. if I could have a wish: let the right guy look right into the camera.cheers

Love this shot, tells so much a couple sharing there day, The gentleman appears so alone. The picture tells so much with a black @ white perspective :) Keep the shutter clicken :)

This is Loki, a Pomeranian who lives on 73rd Street. He's named after the Norse god of Treachery.

Nice pic. I love Poms. Used to have two of them, but they passed on. Treachery is a pretty ferocious concept for a Pom, lol.

The shoes make the photo here.

I totally dig those shoes.
It's like "catch their attention with the dog....hypnotize them with the shoes....then run off with their wallet! Mwhahahahaha"

This is a cute dog. Looks very inquisitive.
Ana - :))

This is a nice shot. The comp. is good, but the subject's face and hat appear to be slightly overexposed. Good use of grayscale.
Best, Jon

I agree with jvgphoto...the pic is great but the subjects face is just too bright

Thanks people. I agree with you both. The face and hat are too bright. I should have tried to correct this in post processing. The rider caught a little sun in the face just at the wrong time. Thanks again.

it's a good comp (i agree for the faceà but it's still a good photo

A GOOD CHOICE OF PICTURE FOR BLACK AND WHITE I LIKE IT I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU ABOUT THE FACE.

Love it. Is this Freemont street in Vegas? Great composition.

It sure is. Thanks!

Oh, the old Glitter Gulch. I've always wanted to go inside that place and check it out. Next time I go to Vegas I just might.

Great shot and good choice to go B&W. :)

i little inappropriate, kids can also use this website!

First of all it's a sign - posted in a very public place.

Second, there is nothing inappropriate about this photo - the figure of the sign is fully clothed.

And third, parents should know what their kids are looking at on the internet and they can be the judge.

nice layering and post prodction image

Thanks again everyone. Much appreciated.

VT - That is the exact look I was going for - "crossed-lomoholganized-artsy-fartsy-something". Couldn't have described it better :)

looks like an old photograph with a lot of history ... normally i don't like heavy editing or added layers, but this is an interesting shot! nice work!

I don't normally go for this sort of thing, but this really works for me. I think it comes down to a couple things:

1. The photo has more interesting details than before.
2. As Lindy said, it fits the subject (LA).

simple...........

and amazing
