@diezel99, did you notice the topic?? "Abstract Objects" I understand you comment, but for this topic, I think what you describe as not liking is exactly what the topic intended.

I really like this one, Beamer. The whispy nature just adds to the flow of the colors. And I agree that it is better on your website with the dark gray background. (I might also add, it's a pretty creative use for "a bunch of cables in the equipment room of a computer graphics studio.")

Interesting, painting, can see it on my wall.

Wonderful abstract Beamer. Abstract is your interpretation of the subject, not someone elses. Nice capture!

Clyde,

This works for me - strong composition and very nice work overall!

Thanks for sharing these two examples of some of your abstract work; a good encouragement for me.

Very strong image. Almost belongs under the topic "a shot with a story" and I'm sure its a sad story. The lighting for me, is perfect. I love it.

A very powerful and moving image.......it tells a story.

Great composition...
Love the wok on lights !
Very powerful !

excellent composition, tones, lighting and subject..

I like the lines in this picture..

what's the story behind the image?

Like others already mentioned, a crop in the top, or bottom but..... this scene is so beautiful....

A great pet portrait.Great composition, and the lighting is well done

Nothing to mension, very adorable picture..

very well done...what a great model too

great capture. i'm shure it wasn't easy, right?!

What can I say.....:-)))) So funny ! And the expression is superb !

Lets see - small, very cute, furry, shiny black eyes. Looks a-ok to me. He / she definetly has star appeal.

Thanks guys, her name is Holly, and she is a bit of a poser ! :o) The photo was taken on my bed, as she was sitting on her log, I was ready with the camera, and when she stood up like that I quickly took the shot. Oh it was taken with a EOS 300D with the kit lens (18-55.

Wonderful capture. I love the clarity.

Straight out of what I could be a character in a disney movie.....well done

Love it. My 3 hamsters will not pose for me....Go figure. Very cute. So so clear. Good name too (my daughter is also Holly).

While I think the light all around the room is very nice, the light coming from the window is harsh and dominating compared to the rest of the image and detracts from the overall composition. I'd crop the top and right to solve this problem, and I think you'll end up with a better composition by eliminating some of the height that's currently not contributing much.

Brillant capture. the eye has many reasons too walk in the picture. The sources of light doesn't interfere, very good job.
Although the chair is well defined by its steel frame, i think that a little more light on the back of the chair could be added.

like the athmosphere of the picture and the green stripe of wall aroung the door. almost feel like being there

very nice but I think I prefere it in square, top of this photo can be elliminated.However, very nice colours and atmosphere

If I crop out the top, I'll lose everything I was trying to capture. I wanted the size of the room to show, along with the natural light.

Interesting, would like to see more contrast.

Good picture, but perhaps to much blue.

I like the blue, it adds to the surreal feeling.

Very cool shot, nice clearity and colour. Good DOF.

pretty blue, but still a really good shot.

thnaks Susan, I just come from my holidays so I just have seen your comment, and yes, that was my intention on this photo, thanks again

Lovely photograph of a child. I feel it would be more powerful if the hair wasn't blown out and some of the left side of the photograph cropped off so that the child was in the right third of the photo instead of the right fourth.

i think a classical 3/4 dimension or even a square could've worked better, but i absolutely love the scene. the bright child against the water is simply beautiful!

I agree, a cropped square would have worked better for me, but lovely idea and colouring.

thanks for your comments, but really I don't think a square format would be better, well it's just about taste I think.

This is the image with the "glare" removed as suggested.

Yep I defenitely think this one is better. The contrast between the red and green colours comes out more. The only thing that I think is a problem is that the hand is too close too the lips, which distracts a bit, but it's a good shot and interesting treatment.

Very well done. I like this much better now!

love this ...her eyes are such a focus .. really really lovely!!

Lovely aged look to the photo and a wonderful expression on her face. Well done :)

neutralhills ,

Thanks for the comment.
I am using the rest of the family to practice my portrait work.
This is an area that I am really lacking so using the family as free models is great.
Plus I am learning how to keep a little kid interested in what is happening!

Good picture, makes me smile I have one just like it and I think every parent should have a mess like this to clean.

Thanks for the comment.
I am still learning the portraits with children so family birthday's I always have my camera!

wow he really went to town, good shot.

Thanks for the comment leaves!

It is from the carwash ..it is the carwash brush against the window .. my friend drove and I took shots.I had always wanted to do that... thanks for your comments and critques:)

I think this is terrific. It was difficult to figure out what it was, other than something underneath wet glass. I like the contrast and colors as they are. The image has a fresh, clean, delicate feeling to it - reminds me of a spa for some reason! Pushing the contrast may change that feeling. I like the image as is.

A very interesting image, I really like it.

everything has been said about it.Very good shot, abstract,wonderfull executed

Mmmm! Softness, yet detail, richness of texture. Water adds to it. Well done!
