Fantastic work Laurie!

beautiful .. I love the lighting and the water on the flower .. beautiful work!

like frozen flowers, are they?
Fine composition!

This is indeed a great shot, the texture, the detail but certainly composition. Well done!

Beautiful composition and textures. Great!

Thanks! Appreciate your help guys. Take care. =)

Great shot! I love the clarity in the sunglasses. It might have a bit more impact if the earpiece wasn't cutting across the bottom of the lens, but that is just a nit-picky detail. Well done!!

I love the clouds above the rim of the glasses even more than those emphasized by the lenses. As for the house, I experimented with rolling my screen down to block it out altogether (simulating a crop just below the glasses) and I think the photo becomes even better. Just as it is, though, it's a fine image with good clarity and fantastic clouds.

I love this shot ..it is cleverly done.. love the light and the contrast .. beautiful!!!

The only 'critique' I have is to say...very clever! Congrats on the feature.

Cain and Abel

Greed, selfishness, haves and have-nots; these being the downfalls of human kind.. Is their a possibility that we will ever come together? Or will we continue to bear witness to the cries from our brothers and sister's blood...

interesting point of view and i like the dark mood. nicely done!

I also like the mood, awesome shot.

this is a really strong and powerful shot.
and the background supports the "story" very powerfully.

An excellent interpretation of the theme, straight out of a horror movie, so fantastic job on going through the effort of setting up this shot to facilitate an idea.

If i were to suggest anything, I'd say that perhaps the impact of the photo could be strengthened by increasing the contrast of the image.

The highlights already appear to be close to white, but maybe pushing more of the shadows towards black to bring out the terror in the subjects eyes. And I agree that the impact might benefit from rotating the positioning a little counter-clockwise, placing the subject more towards the (implied) submissive lying down position.

Very interesting image. I really like this b&w. Good composition, a well thought out subject, and a great expression of distress.
Nice.

OK that is really just creepy!!!

This is soooo scary, with another angle it's much more creepy I think.

Frightening. this is weird stuff. I hope this subject is alive to see the shot. Wow, what can you say?

The light is coming from right. How about light fully falling on the face by changing the direction of the shot

Gives me a sense of freedom. I agree with the straight on lighting. This is a very nicely composed shot. Great emotion!

such a fan of jumping photos! super!

great shot, well captred, great expression and captre of movement

Is it analogous? I like the processing!

Vernon,
Beautiful! Just beautiful.

(What is an overlay blend and a high pass filter??)

@martin

in photoshop you duplicate the image layer
then set blend mode to overlay
and apply the high pass filter :-)
it increases/sharpens small & fine details :-)

This is really splendid Vernon!!!

Stunningly beautiful. This really captures the beauty of the church.

I like the rich tone, and the spider web -feeling:)

I like this. I like your processing. I would like to see his eyes stand out more. It would flow better with the rest of the image. I'm not so much on having any of it toned down. It's very well done.

I like this. Its more along the lines of how I prefer a portrait photo to be processed, but that may just be personal preference. Good photo!

Lovely warmth and tone to this. The texture alludes to a high pass filter? Great work and I would love to see it printed. Well done!

Excellent composition good focus on eyes, detail
are remarkable, keep on.
Thank.

nicely done. It feels little over sharpened or may be I personally feel bit softer tones..

Have to agree on the balance and highlights. Also the ground too dark. Maybe a little bit different angle and place would help this shot. Good luck.

Beautiful sky, although I also wish the highlights weren't so blown out.

The sky was quite hazy at this time so I boosted the contrast a bit, but looks like that may have blown out the highlight. I'll definitely think about that and the composition in future shots...

I love the contrast here .. this has potential .. very beautiful sky ..

Very nice. I love the sky.

This is a shot of a window on the other side of a room taken through a window.

Very interesting shot.
Did you use a polarizer to reduce the original reflection from the first window?
Great shot with almost a self portrait in the window!

Thanks. I did have a polarizer on the lens. The building, trees, and bridge you can see was behind me.

Very cool, what an awesome effect. Great job!

I love the way this came out.. Great effects in keeping the reflection. Very nice.

The building i dint notice! haha awesome!

Did you go back and shoot this location friday?! :)

i love the perspective that you've got on this one. just find the structure outside a bit busy for the rest of the frame...it's a nice contrast maybe, but for me it detracts from the abstract quality of the stairs and the feet.

Stunning composition. Very nice and smooth b&w.

this is great, awesome subject
