Great shot. I like the fading passers-by as much as the double phone boots. Great effect of the partial saturation.

One of the rare occasions where I like selective saturation - but I think it would have been better if you had pulled back a little on the red. It's a bit too bright red imo. But all in all it's a good picture...

Thank you Huubi and Stefan
/Jan :-)

It's a pity those are being removed.

I really like the selective saturation. Normally I don't care for it, but it appears more natural in this image. Great exposure.

Its a great shot, but i dont like the mirror in the back, or better, i don`t like the man in the mirror.

but the idea is good ;)

Great!!! good work!!! I just said congratulations!!!

RRRRRRR

This is stunning. Well done. I particularly love the texture on the wall behind. It makes the subjects skin look all the more flawless.

damn!!
great composition!

Love the texture and the noise!

I don't care about posting to different topics while there's some reasonable point in it. I like this picture even if the composition looks a bit unbalanced (a wall lamp in the upper left corner would help maybe). You managed to rise a handful of questions in the viewer. Nice job.

Too busy for this category. Highlights are a distraction as well. Great expression on the subject, but too many other problems to redeem this shot.

I think this is a wonderful portrait, though I'd crop it just at the top of his head (so that person above him isn't showing) and then on the right to remove a bit of his back (I like the cars).

Good expression on his face. I'd crop top, right and left to leave only the subject and the guy with the board. Minor thing: odd white line in his eye. It wouldn't be a problem for me except for the fact that it is his eye, which is important in portraits.

love the contrast of the image. It makes it pop out!
nice one!

hmmm... I like it except for the tire growing out of his eye. If there was a cleaner background, it would be a keeper

Yes, I am agree - colors are good, DOF and details also. Very erotic image =)

Beautiful work. I also like the special format of image.

Me gusta la disposición,los colores son un poco suaves, quizá un poco más vivos tendrían mas fuerza.

wow!
great detail!
love the color too!

Looks like 2 great photographs in one to me.

Thanks for your comment!
You are absolutely right!
Thanks for the eye opener!

This picture is good, effect is great and I whant you understand me correct. It would be more better if ine the left bottom corner was a dog in focus for example ;)

no! seriously i know what you mean!
it's missing something.
I didn't noticed that till now.
Thanks again (and i mean it)

i like the lines but i have to agree that there is no subject in this shot

I like the complimenting horizontal lines, would be really cool with someone walking along the pavement behind the light.

very interesting and unique choice of background, i'm not really sure why but I do like it. Good job!

une DOF osée et créative. La fleur un peu trop centrée pour moi

i don't see the message in this photo.
The "flower" is right in the middle.
I really don't like the composition.

thanks for the comments, the flour is maybe too centered but sorry it is not right in the middle

DrKev, sorry, perhaps i'm wrong but i don't find your comment very constructive

i love this simple yet great image!
it's the simplicity and the light that keep my eyes locked inside this photo!

Simple efficace j'adore

Willie, thanks for the compliment! I think a tripod will fit in my budget :)

El color rosado es poco habitual, probaría con otro.
Saludos

Don't write the photo off too quickly -- converted to black and white and playing with some settings, and it takes on a vintage, arty look.

Yeah, I already did something like that a couple of days after I uploaded this image. I postprocessed it in almost B&W, but you can still see some purple of my shirt. That gives it an extra 'something', is my opinion. The fact the photo is a bit out of focus doesn't matter no more in this version.

This is the link to my website were I showed it: www.edelsmidhansmulder.nl/Sufkipje/Mensen/tamarabi...

Anyway, thanks for your version!

the white balance is off the roof.
+ the image is blurry (slow shutter speed?)
i don't like it!

Maybe this is in color.

Anyway, I think it's lovely and it really sets a mood.

I'd like to know your thoughts about the right side, The small trees and branches are an interesting chocie,

The composition is nice; the trees guide your eye to a diminishing point in the background.
The values seem too gray, have you considered increasing the contrast?

I agree on the contrast increasment. And the trees to the right on the front are a bit distracting. But elsea good shot!

Nice perspective and landscape.
But I would increase the contrast to give more perspective and interest to the picture.

you need to add more contrast to the photo!
all in all a good image!

I really like the color and how the bow of the boat is in your face.

I remember looking at this a month ago and not knowing what to really make of it... Same reaction now. The boat is quite interesting, the buildings are interesting, the sky is nice but blow out. There seems to be no real focus of interest or appeal for me. Not sure how to improve this framing. My only suggestion would be to try to explore the boat without the buildings taking such a prominent role.

I would crop out the building on the right - somehow this creates a tension that is currently missing. Just my 2 cents, of course.

Best,
Jon

I can really feel the size of the boat, I really like the colors of this photo as well, I have to agree with Jon, maybe cut the buiding on the right, but I really like the feel of this photo!

The wide angle is very nice here. I think I would have put this one in black and white, with a strong contrast.
