I'm not a big fan of having photographs fliped,... IMHO I think that it would have worked better if you had both, the original, and the reflection on one image!

I think maybe an idea that would solve both my thought about the bottom of the image and also Chris's distaste for fliped photos... Crop it just a bit from the bottom to lessen the feeling of the photo being upside down, and lighten it off so it fades to white...I'd add a dark gradient overlay on the top left to add to the effect and I bet it'd look ridiculously cool. Maybe some extra saturation in those colors on the cranes too...play around. Nice photo!

I like the liquid feel of this photo. The lines of the crane at the top of the photo are just wonderful.

Really great reflection....could almost be abstract.

Love how it looks like a painting in the thumbnail preview.

I really like the idea here. I'd try cropping out the two end bars and selective sharpening the web to make it more the focal point ans see how that looks. Right now the bars demand a lot of your attention when it's the web that really is the subject of interest.

The background bokeh is good - soft with just enough definition.

I agree with cutting the outer bars. At the moment there are too many and it makes the picture too white. The light on the web is really beautiful and the green behind it makes a nice background.

Nice bokeh, nice light, but weak compostion, in my opinion. Interesting subject, but could be a much stronger photo with a little more work.

This image needs to be straightened

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, I can't tell. It seems the foremost glasses are a bit soft. Maybe from camera shake or a touch too shallow depth of field, I'm not sure.

Personally think this is a pretty cool photo. I think I realy like it.

I really like this picture. The black and white really works and I really love the white edges of the glasses. The repetition of the glasses with different shapes is nice and the wood through the glass looks great.

Good job!

Oh, and I just saw that black thing on the left side of the photo...just above the glass. Might have cropped that, too.

Ana,

Thanks for the comments.

I do like having the wall in the photo, I think it adds a really imposing foreground and anchors the shot.

I didn't even notice that black spot though. Just a piece of the building sticking up from behind the glass pyramid, but it could definitely be taken out.

the louvre! I like the wall in the photo as well. Steers it from just being a picture of a glass building.

I love the reflection of the Louvre in the glass pyramid. The contrast is also very nice. I'm not sure I like the wall, though... Adding the people in the picture makes it more personal and the ripples in the reflection of the people make it clear that that's water.

I like the photo. Maybe try to pull a little more detail from the shadows on the people sitting at the water's edge.

Very nice. It does have a surreal look to it. Only helps to add to the effect!

Especially the motion in the front of the picture is just excellent. The rocks are just crisp and have a really nice colour. Very nice.

Love it! I like the blur and the vivid colors.

This is a beautiful piece of work - very nice comp and nicely seen.

Best,
Jon

Great shot, but in the spirit of constructive criticism, I'd try burning the land in the upper right bank to create a bit more drama in the photo. The land feels a bit flat.

My gut reaction to this photo was very positive. I get a feeling of being "stuck" inside, longing for the outside. Upon looking a little longer, I'm wondering about how reversing the focus to the outside scene would change the overall feeling...but I'm not sure it would be for the better...

I like the dof and choice of focus here. My complaint is that the image is a bit dark, and the lettering on the window sort of gets lost in the surrounding tones. I'm not really sure how you could have prevented that though. Perhaps using a slightly lower angle?

Definately the image could be lighter and the lettering my eye seems to get stuck on.

The low key of this image is nice, but it doesn't make the letters stand out. I personally do like the focus on the letters, which makes a nice distinction between inside and outside.

Lighten up the dark end of the image. My eyes got stuck trying to read the sign because the detail was lost in the dark.

I really love this. It's slightly slanted toward the right but I can't tell if that's the street or not...I really like the blur in the subjects and the writings on the wall. I haven't got a clue what they mean but they look great! LoL! The single chair stands out to me, and combined with the blur of the other subjects, it adds a great sense of solitude. This is really good!!

This is a very nice composition, you've got the walker coming in from the left and the cyclist coming in from the right leading you to the chair in the middle. You've captured it well. Good choice of black and white here.

The composition is really nice and the light works well with it, highlighting the area around the chair (and the speaker or tv, or whatever is hanging up there).

Even the chair has a role in this one. Well done!

Wonderful wide angle perspective and I really like the slight slant on either end, motion and tones.

I'm trying to take his picture for the photo boards at work and I'm probably telling him to sit still and stop laughing. It ended in fits of laughter and big giggles, but I did get a good 'official' portrait as well. This one sums him up, though!

How can one be a purist about how people laugh? Surely fun and laughter, i.e. emotion, is about more than having your eyes open?

Photography is full of experts who believe the rules should be followed and rarely broken.

i believe thats utter bollocks

I like that his eyes are closed because you truely caught him in a moment.

I like this almost candid shot of somebody laughing. The overall colours are quite toned down, but perhaps that makes the contrast with his skin greater. This puts even more focus on his face.

great shot, i like this
it makes me smile

I like the tone and the point of view, the sky is just great.
If you have the RAW file, why don't you try to work on the underexposed part? Just develop the RAW adding +1EV and add it as second layer, cutting the part of the photo which is correctly exposed.

Love the look and feel of this shot. The perspective is nice, except maybe too much of the overpass. Nice effect.

Thank you so much for the feature and advised comments. They're all much appreciated!
Did try something in the spirit of a dark comic strip !

Nice shot, but a little heavy on the right side - compositionally speaking.

Best,
Jon

Such a beautiful perspective and flow to this image!

Love the silhoutte in the forground it almost seems as if it is a B/W placed on top color shot. The coloring of the sky is nice as well

A nice image but I would like to see a bit more of the water. Maybe a little dodging in processing? Or a 1/3 of a stop in shooting exposure? Just a thought.

just think this is beautiful

This is a really nice image, but the top of the sky could be a little bit smaller.

Nice comp and nice colors - a little cropping would help this one - it's a little top heavy, in my opinion.

BEst,
Jon
