beautifull..
the girl, the scene, the colours..

Looks like I'm the first one to disagree with the need of cropping. In my point of view it's a well balanced picture and the pavement in front gives it certain depth. If there was more space above her there would be too many distracting detail and the main message of the picture would get lost.

I guess I'm in the don't crop camp too. The pavement does imply depth and gives the feel that I am there.

The woman's face is may not be sharp. But sharpness can be over rated. Capturing her expression gives this photo much more meaning than waiting for AF or manual focusing. Spontaneous photography does not have to be technically perfect to be good. This is better thab good.

I would not crop either, but I think colour adds nothing. I is crying out for B&W, and some grain.

I love this image, but agree that it is not quite sharp enough, especially in the area of her face (it looks to me that the camera focused on the bike and left her slightly out of focus). I'd keep the crop as is - even though often times the crop goes in the direction of her line of sight. Here, though, with the short crop on top there is a sense of tension or interest because we can't see what is holding her gaze. Well done. I should be so lucky to find a subject like this and do half as well with her.

thanks so much - I appreciate that!

No titles allowed so all I will tell is that all the men in this photo are Santa Claus.

love it!!
very good use of selective saturation!!
normally I'm not a fan of ss because it's often not used correct, but for this one I gladly make an exeption ;)

I love everything of this photo that I voted many time.

Very nice green color on their clothes. I think there may be a tad too much vignette on the shot though, kinda distracts me.

Good work though.

Thank you! Yeah, I struggled a bit with the vignetting as I liked it both with it, and without it. I had a vision in my head that this photo was telling me it could really be something beautiful, like a glimpse at a memory, so I added the vignetting, then rethought it, but for some odd reason, when I decreased it, i felt like the photo didn't have the same kind of enclosure to it.

It is quite probable that my vision for the final piece was not appropriate for the shot, I'm still exploring new processes. Wow, I really need to post more, this is still my only photograph. =)

Three beautiful bride's-maids?
What a great background for those dresses.
The contrast between the smooth and dressy ladies,
and the rough and weathered wall,is very nice.
I agree that it is a little too dark around the edges.

nice textures and lightning.. love the green!!
the only thing is the vignetting, I would used les vignetting on the woman on the left..
part from that very good image..

I like their expressions and the moment and colors. I think the composition mightve worked better had the girl on the far right didnt have her arm cut out but its not a big problem as your eyes go straight to their faces. I think theres too much vignetting, it is good to help a flat image or to fill in empty boring space but when it goes so far into the image that it overlaps your subject you lose detail and volume within its shadows.

I am a huge fan of architecture and absolutely love this shot. well captured!

thx for all them comments.. they mean a lot to me :)
I personaly like the sky is so burned.. I think it goes well with the contrasts of the building..

Grtzzzz
Maria

Very well captured, nice detail and angle.

this is just awesome.

I think the gradients in the building is great and really stands out in the reflections and has a good impact with the perspective. I agree with Chiffon, I wouldve preferred to not have that halo around it. I think it would still be just as great without burning the sky.

Why not post photos of your own children...they're beautiful. The expression on her face is delightful.

Is this your daughter? If she is.. what a beauty, full of life! the colours are great and well treated!!

beautiful photo... what a cutie! The colors are great! well done

This photo really stands out to me. The color and composition is really pleasing. These are the type of photos I hope to capture of my kid. What type of processing do you do? Great work!

Thank you everyone. I was a bit unsure about the framing, but since it was a candid, it came sooc cropped that way, so what can you do?

Onepixelshy, this was a raw image and I used adobe raw to boost the saturation on the blue and red channel, along with a few other tweaks in shadows and contrast. I have a preset for it which I use on a few different photos. I'd be happy to send it you if you like. :)

Positivley perfect.

thx lightholder :)
so happy that you like it..

btw.. how are you doing?

It's a shame it isn't totally sharp. As usual your black 'n white is very well done.

Btw, I really really like mirror like water surfaces like this. You can make some very powerful scenery shots with them. Especially at dawn and dusk.

eery... a lot of black clouds... maybe a little too much black for me.... but lovely picture

lovely moody pic, like it!

Ooh, really like this one.. Absolutely beautiful.

i like the black and a moon with a orange touch is rare, i think

This is nice and moody. I am wondering what it would have been like if there was slightly less contrast and the moon was offset slightly more.
