Silhouette of a Crow

Really love this, great mono. Agree with above, an alternate but very apt recording of winter

I love the fact so many 'ideals' of landscape photography have been thrown away to produce a stunning piece of work. I struggle to appreciate landscape but i'd hang this on a good wall!!

thankyou atworner . I try to break some rules, some times I feel a bit of light freedom can produce great results. Please highlight any posts you make of similar LB use.

I just noticed threads in the discussion column regarding depression. This is an image from a study series depicting the condiiton. Can I just add I did not notice this discussion before uploading therefore any connection is truly not meant, I apologise if someone thinks otherwise and will remove if asked due to bad timing...

Superb, great mono treatment and placement. Steps outside the 'usual' portrait rules and breaks them all for the better. Really like this work

The nervy peeker 2

This is great, finding the advert is one thing, pitting it against the right subject is another, the wait is a problemk....but that bloke is a finisher.

Obviously people are entitled to their opinions, personally, the imperfections and near misses of 'what could have bee'n in street photography in some cases add to the irony of a carefully selected scene or oppurtunistic hence right place right time (not luck) shot.

This epitomises 'street' using a moment in time - he could be a stranger, an actor, a best friend , I don't care - thats the extent of manipulation....This is a great shot - bookworthy


PS - looks an awful lot like Cardiff Central???

My new friend

Great image, the slightly desaturated colours, and rugged tones add to an already impressive portrait. Super

Thankyou people for your constructive comments. I'm new to this and it is so refreshing not to have Flickr-esque "hey, cool image" or "nice pic. i've fav'ed can you fav mine too" posted against a submitted picture.

The points are are valid and very helpful (though 'mouth over-full' re. focus_man, to be honest I wanted it more extreme), my print of this is slightly less exposed and more saturated so monitor calibration is required. The modification on my screen, even though slight, personally i feel it does add what is missing, again i very much appreciate your efforts here.

Thanks all again. Looking forward to learning, viewing and being inspired...

Chris
