Fun shot and great framing, though I might crop just a touch from the lower left. There is a bit too much dead space for me. Otherwise, nice capture!

Fun but scary, too! I agree with ryanopaz. I think it would be even nicer if there was more space on the top of the frame, and we could see more wrist.

Ryan, how do you crop the "lower left", can't crop a corner???

I looked at the with the scroll bar test to crop off the bottom just under the bit of shirt showing, can't decide which I like better. It's pretty darn good the way you have it.

I love the character of this, such a tough, hard subject captured with grace and flow, very nice!!

Love the light and lines! Beautiful!

Cool shot! Love the selective saturation in this one. Well done.

Nice composition with good texture and color.

I agree with Beamer. Beautiful piece of art.

Terrific work. The colors and form go so well together; and it has that Asian flair which I love so much. Simple but beautiful. If I were creating this image for print, I would lose the border and, of course, your watermark/name. Otherwise the image is perfect. Nice job!

Good work!

I agree with the others. Maybe if you would transcribe your name into Japanese characters (Katakana)? That way you would have both the effect of Asian text and your name in the picture.
You could www.takase.com/Library/Glossary.htm#KATAKANA for this.
Lovely picture.

It fits the topic Blue very well. The lines from the windows and reflections are nice to look at. The reflected trees and the antenna totally at the right are a bit disturbing.

The more you look the more things and details you see. Well seen.

Thanks, Clyde...just what I needed to know - nice shot - thanks for posting. Great processing job.

@jon, if nobody else is, I am watching...

Great colour capture here, Clyde. The post processing also does a lot to help make an ordinary subject very interesting. Well seen and composed.

Interesting image Clyde. A nice departure from the other images I've seen you post here. I like the lines, color, and reflections in this one. I don't care for the tree reflections though. Not much you can do about that. Nice capture.

Great capture and great work on this image.

Very nice Mikhail!!

Very, very nice!

Wow, this is stunning.

Excellent! Well seen!!

Very cool photo! Great capture!

Nicely done!

Best,
Jon

Nice capture!

The lines of the horizon and shore, along with the subject being slightly off centered really makes for a good composition.

superbe, l'ombre et le saut, j'adore

ya just gotta smile when you see this shot.

I really like the idea here. I'd try cropping out the two end bars and selective sharpening the web to make it more the focal point ans see how that looks. Right now the bars demand a lot of your attention when it's the web that really is the subject of interest.

The background bokeh is good - soft with just enough definition.

I agree with cutting the outer bars. At the moment there are too many and it makes the picture too white. The light on the web is really beautiful and the green behind it makes a nice background.

Nice bokeh, nice light, but weak compostion, in my opinion. Interesting subject, but could be a much stronger photo with a little more work.

This image needs to be straightened

Bonita pero hay demasiada luz de fondo, me parece.

Clyde,

Weigh in on this if you have time - I really have mixed feelings about this effect - half the time I love it, and half the time I think it's really stupid and ultimately distracts greatly from the face of the subject. On the other hand, if I see it as something other than a traditional portrait...maybe it works on some level. Feel free to comment.

Later,
jon

i like this shot, nice use of light
very interesting face

imo there's too much visible of the back of his head. It just isn't a 'en profile' shot, a couple of degrees counter-clockwise turning of the man and it would be all o.k.

Awesome!

Thanks hampshire ;)

Beautiful work on this image - love it, Eric!

Best,
Jon

Thanks Jon, and glad that you like ;)

Great photo specially since this is a rather common motif. Good work

Wow.. excellent! une "featured" bien méritée !

pas facile ce genre de photos et celle-ci est bien réalisée. Manque un peu de piqué mais ce doit être le scan

Awesome! Reminds me of the Life Magazine Coney Island photo!

Thanks everyone!

Funny ! Busy too:-))

Brilliant!

Yes, Noah, food stains.

I like the composition that you have chosen here with the eyes smack bang in the middle of the frame. It works very effectively even with all the other colours and lines going on around her. Well done and seen.

Clyde,

Nice shot - there's a human being in your photograph! Question: how did you determine how to straighten this thing - you, obviously had several options...

Best,
Jon

@jon, I don't remember fussing with the angle, that is right out of the camera. I cropped a little off the top trying to focus attention a little. This was shot at high iso and the D70s is not know for being very good at that, so I passed it through Noise Ninja and a little curves, that's it.

I like it however I would have liked to see more of the wall that she is peeking over. It would have given more of 'Peek'.
