I like this but somehow I think there should be a little bit more light on the face? The shadow is kinda blocking out the face so you can't see much details there.

But it's a great effort nonetheless.
:)

congrats on the feature paul!!!

Thanks ninja-and thanks vazaar!

striking, but too centered to hold my attention for long.

I love the simplicity of this image . . . it's very zen!

really, really great shot, I love this !!!
(not yet featured ?)

Too over processed but the subject looks interesting, I really like the chaos of the subject matter.

Love the image for both it's composition and the post processing. Great Job. Of course I have you as a favorite on aminus3 and vfxy already. Love your work

Very good job, you find q very good place.Nothing to say, perfect.

Great shot, not over processed. The effects add to the overall effect of the image. Great job.

I like the composition very much, maybe the reflection on the ground in the middle disturbes a little bit

Very nice. Great atmosphere. My only critique has already been mentioned; I also find the highlight of the floor in the front centre a little distracting.

This is a very classy shot. I agree with boughey about the highlighted floor at bottom of the shot. Apart from that, superb!

One of my favorites.

I love the framing and colors but I would have preferred the seats to be sharper.

oops spelling error in my html tag, sorry

I agree with Bastian. A little more space on the right and a flashlight to light up the dogs nose could solve this, I think. But the composition is great.

Thanks for the comments guys. I know it's out of focus but it's the spur of the moment.. you know :]

Very cute puppy. The low angle is a great touch. We all know how difficult it is to focus on a fast moving pup.

Not perfect, but a fun shot none-the-less!

This is actually a macro of a tiny, dried, miniature yellow rose. (Well it was getting rather brown when this was shot.)

I really like the B&W work (from black to white), not just grey. I also like the details on the rose and the light/dark work.

Great shot.

Agreed. Really great lighting here and great detail. The texture is what grabs the the most. A fresh flower seems fragile enough, but this one seems like it will crumble if I touch it. A favorite. If anything I'd like to see the flower further to the left, but I also like the importance of the stem/leaves.

Great! This impression and the mood the picture has impresses me. Nothing to critizises for me.

Thank you very much Alex and Anna. Not loving to insert same image on Vazaar, THIS is the link of same image where I tried to erase off the eyeglass arm.

I like this ..I like the style and the way the eyes stand out. I like the creativeness of this.. and agreed also with the statements above .. it took me a minute to know what it was but then again things like that can be fun and intriguing in a shot too,overall it is creative and imaginative ..something I love to see!

Thank you Lindy. You're flattering me :-) -- Anyway words like yours really helps and encourages. Thank you very much !

Way too bright for my taste! There's too little details in it.

jenriks, follow a definition of "High way": ""High key subjects concentrate on the lighter tones, using subject matter that is white or pale tones, and using flat overall lighting to avoid shadows"" (photography.about.com/library/glossary/bldef_highk...)

I like this coolness, I'm freezing brrrr

thanks for all the super comments!!!

The framing is really good.. I would have made him put on a white shirt to match the high-key lighting :)

great idea - didn't think about that!

i wonder if you had to ask him to look serious or if it was a natural tendency? i like it. i also like the closeness, did you crop or really get this near?

basically the same - only cropped the picture into more of a wide screen format. I asked Matt to close his eyes and the open them - took the shot about 3secs later so i guess it is natural. Yip i was really close, and somewhere between 18 - 24 mm on the lens.

nice flowerimage. the poppy seed (?) looks like a crown on a stick. well done job!

Normally I prefer a quadratic cut for flower pictures First I tought too, that there is too much space above, but on the second view it works well. Great light as well.

Thanks to all. This kind of flower is a bit special, they fold their sheets ( don't know if my english is correct) when light has gone. This one doesn't make his job properly (or she's an original one) and so takes this crown form.

Oh for the top perhaps i have to lighten it to see the background.

beautiful shot. i especially like the muted colours.

haha. Thanks David! I have a color version of this (www.tannerphotography.net/single_pic.php?year=2007...) but I liked the BW a lot more.

Nice work Jason, great detail. I agree with you, I like the BW a lot more.

realy good textures and details, amazing to see this so close.

Great capture !
Love the way the rhino fits into the frame !
The pictures fits perfectly to the topic ! :)

Thanks all for your comments.
