Very, Very nice!
Great framing. Love the touch of color.

Me gusta la toma y el toque de color pero me distrae el suelo con sus dibujos geométricos.
Creo que resultaría mas impactante si el interior fuera totalmente sombrío.

I like the taking and the color touch but distracts the ground to me with its geometric drawings. I believe that it would be but impressive if the interior were totally shady. Greetings

Thank you Ana!

the image is striking enough in bw. the randomly applied re-coloring doesnt create impact. working with curves: I would reduce black values, means the dark areas become black, and increase middle tones, would create striking contrast and viewer dont see the floor but focus on the message by creating a silhouette.my2cents

Quizá sea un criterio equivocado el mio, pero no pienso que las ramas u otros elementos naturales tengan que distraer necesariamente la atencion. Es más, en este caso creo que contribuyen, junto con las montañas (sobre todo la de la parte izquierda) y los reflejos, a situar espacialmente al objeto, confiriéndole un toque agradable de proximidad al sujeto. Es solo una opinion. Saludos

I think this image has some real potential. I'm going to have to agree with Nick on the details. I think I'd prefer more or less. In this case, there are some beautiful reflections on that water so it might've been nice to focus on bringing those out and making the girl more of a silhouette. I also find the plants a bit distracting but they're thin and could easily be handled with a few clicks in Photoshop.

You have a very nice composition and silhouette here (especially with the reflections under the legs), but the blacks are too gray for me. For this type of image I prefer darker grays to blacks for the subject.

You are really submitting a lot or work lately! This is good, but not as good as it might be - the above comments are very helpful, in my opinion. I love the reflecting light in the foreground - amazing!

Best,
Jon

need better exposure

Silhouettes or shadows.

I agree that this could probably be placed within "Shadows", but that doesn't detract from the fact that this is a very well conceived and executed shot. I love the framing generated by the spotlight and the detail that you have managed to capture within the light's beam. This is nicely set of by the canvas seams of the big top helping to give it all height.

thanks guys for your comment
thanks nick, your constructive critiq will certainly help me making better shot

The circus worked out well for you, I guess! Nice shot and well-framed. Thanks for sharing your work.

Best,
Jon

I just love the concept. Well executed in terms of composition. It's not easy to capture the silhouette of a moving subject in such a way that it's instantly recognizable, but you pulled it off perfectly. Very nice!
Thomas

Seems like the martians are coming ;-)
Great back lighting and B&W processing - the man behind the grainy glass also adds mystery..
Congrats lolly !

Real cool stuff, Lolly. Same remarks as Jean Marc. The withes are blown out, but it adds to the strange atmosphere.
Here's a pic of the same place, taken a while ago:

Thanks, guys!
@philippe: Have you been in Melbourne recently...and, 'the withes'...?! :~D

Beach basketball. Love it!! And I really like the water and sky.

Yes, I agree that this is a lovely shot. Composition and execution is very well handled (the detail in the net and is that a lifeguard tower behind? - wow!) to capture people going about their lives ... nice.

i really like this shot, you did a great job

La silueta del perro pasa, al principio, un poco desapercibida, quizá unos instantes después la habríamos contemplado totalmente; de todas formas la fotografía así es estupenda.Felicidades

Great silhouettes and so much interaction going-on between the characters. I like the colours. Great shot!!

I guess I am not critiquing how you did the assignment, but the image. As a black and white image I do not find it holds my attention.

@Nick: which is why I appreciate your comments a lot by the way ;)

This is a very strong graphic in my opinion.

silhouette - yes !
but no strong impact. too "copied"

This is very "James Bond"-ish. It's interesting, but it seems to be missing something.

Wow, superb !

Very cool. This person appears defeated, or relieved at the rising of the sun.

Wow,I'll say. Seems like out of a story book or fairytail. Very cool.

Amazing. Reminds me of "Gone With the Wind" scene when Scarlett vows to never go hungry again!

Image of man in student union. So happy to have my camera with me at all times.

... not to mention Vernon: 155 features! Does anyone have a better score?

Merci, Eric. Je sais qu'on n'est pas dans une compétition (ce n'est pas mon état d'esprit), mais ça fait toujours plaisir de voir que certaines personnes apprécient ton travail...

A mes yeux, ton talent est indéniable et j'attends avec plaisir tes posts (comme ceux de Vernon d'ailleurs)
Merci et à bientôt.

Very nice effect used here.
Jan

No effect. Just blinds and rain.

Love the blues. Some fast fish.
