Nice image. Great greens. I love the label on the Diable Vert! I would almost prefer an interesting take on this bottle alone.

Nice procesessing, but would love to see or one bottle or a whole bunch of it..

The composition seems a bit weak here. I would suggest maybe focusing on only one bottle or try a less cluttered background. Also, the top of the right bottle is cropped off, I would try to change that if possible.

The tones are just about prefect though.

Hi, I have to say that I totally agree with your criticism. I took this one in a hurry. I don't like the cropped top and I should have concentrated on just one bottle. At that moment I was fascinated by the label and green tones but unfortunately I paid no attention to details. Thanks for your help.

It needs to be straightened and it's too green to me. I'd boost the contrast.

George, seen this before, but glad to see it again. I love the quality of light, and the softness is really perfect!

This is spectacular George!!!

stunning. the soft green and sharp white wires and beautiful.

Thanks to All for the comments :-)

epic. Soft focus is perfect. Like a painting

I like this as well. I love the tones. Gritty fits right into the theme.

@goodlife,

This is a bar in downtown New Orleans that never reopened after the storm (Katrina).

Here's another holga shot looking up from the same location:

@everyone

Thanks for all the comments!

I do like Holga shots. I love the high contrast and vignette. The only thing I would consider is getting the entire door in the frame and trying to get the vertical lines more exact. Great shot though.

What is different with a Holga? I don't have any experience with them...

Great work - a little straightening would help, i guess - regardless, however, this is a strong comp. and perfect for the category.

Cheers,
Jon

With her as your model, you can't really screw up a portrait. Wow, she's amazing!

I agree with the other raters about making her stand out more. Since the light behind her was on when you took the picture, a little treatment in photoshop could accomplish nearly the same thing. Maybe just a slight vignette to bring the focus more to her.

I like the lower angle idea too. If you got the camera down at the table's height, you could accomplish a much more dramatic portrait and see her beautiful face even better.

Thank you all for the comments.
I'll do what I can about lighting first in PS, then on-site. Lower angle was not possible here because of an ugly window in the backgound but it shouldn't be hard to find a more appropriate spot.
Couldn't agree more with the "still missing just a bit to make it really great" part of Jason's comment, and not only for this but most of my published shots.
So, thank you all again.

Sztem sokat dobna a kép minőségén, ha a leány telefonszáma is rajta lenne...

Amúgy a dákótartáson kívül mit lehetne mondani erre a képre, ami kritika? Az én laikus szememmel semmit... Max azt, hogy grat!

Köszi. :)

The crops is a little tight and it appears a little tilted - great shot.

Cheers,
Jon

Love it. The DOF and the shadow of someone unknown. Gives the photo a real feeling of mystery.

Irrealistic
love it

so nice

This is great! I love the texture and the shinyness of the street.

Great shot and atmosphere - instant favorite for me!

Best,
Jon

One thing is that I cant see any sharp place in this image. That is why I feel not to well with this photo.

@geos
look under the small finger (left hand) the black key. that's the point I focused on.

right hand, sorry :)

You skipped a couple days there my friend... :-)

It's a wide aperture/limited depth of field classic.
The tonality of the ivory in the sharp (in photographic terms - not musical)key under the right hand forefinger is simply gorgeous.
Just look at the way the highlight on the top of that hand crisply folds over into the shadowed area of the side - it's as rich as Belgian Chocolate, and a superlative study.
A little monochrome masterpiece.

Oh, yeah, motion has really stopped here for a moment! Great perspective, great lights, great compo, great colors and tones, great relevance - a great photo!

Thanx for sharing it with us.

Perfect shot,his arms just made him look like a bird.Great timing !!

Just wanna say how much I absolutely ADORE this image. Beautifully rendered.

Wow, excellent !

I have never been here... oh my god how many lights and colours are there!! Beautiful shot, man :)

Thank you, Aurora (what a beautiful name!). I dreamed to see this for many years and I could make it only last year, but I was not disappointed!

Starbucks rules!

:O)))

We said: constructive criticism, Daniel!

Whatever, I love Starbucks coffee (and I'm going to have one at this place tomorrow morning...)

;O)

very good composition. balanced and sharpened. good job.vic

What camera did you use here?

Sorry, but I find the fence a bit distracting.

I have shots from around the fence, too. I thought this added to the 'industrial' theme, as it was a rugged fence. Thank you for your comment!

tougth thing

I like the shot through the fence, but it gave me the feeling that the buildings are prisons. (Perhaps that's what you meant to say with this picture :) Overall, it does have a very industry feel to it.

Curve and light is so great here.

This looks like sand dunes or something more exotic than a sculpture. Fantastic!

I love the lines but wanted to know what it was of, or if there was a lot of manipulation. After seeing the sculpture I have to say that your picture is better than the actual subject. Amazing.

clever

Great one! Got me addicted.
