I keep coming back to this image to leave a comment, so I guess it does do something to me :). Very abstract. I Would have loved to see it a bit more off center though.
photoaholic (Geoffrey Reynertz) added a critique 9 months ago:
yellow abstract interesting i love it (perhaps just a little bit too centered)
pfeel (Phil Verges) added a critique 9 months ago:
Very intriguing, you have a great eye!
I'm not sure whether I think it's too centered or not, the black line makes all the difference (as Nick says).
If you can go back to this interior, you could shoot it again and experiment with different compositions, maybe even a vertical format?
Also, it might be interesting to catch the silhouette of a person in the distance down the hallway - lots of potential for more great stuff!

Very nice shot with a great leather feel. I love the DOF, the buckle nicely sharp, but the rest (which is only a fraction of a distance behind it) slightly unsharp.

Very nice black and white conversion and a great composition. I also like how the background darkens towards the left. Nice work Jon!

Jon, there is lots to like about this shot and agree with the comments above. I would like to add that I also like the selection of square format here to really lift the compostion to another level. Congratulations.

Excellent composition. I've always held the opinion that wildlife photos work best in color, but this one works in B/W as well.

Preciosa, me encantan el encuadre, la luz, los tonos...

Wow. This one really caught my eye. The 3 similar, yet very distinct colors, and the way it's done just seems like something out of a western. Awesome job.

Great black ! And white:-))

Terrific!!! I like the grip of b/w and, at the same time, the serenity of the animal
anemix (John Anderson) added a critique 5 months ago:
I love the zebra in snow... (would really like to see a zebra against a black background). this was probably difficult to meter but I'd like to see some clarity in the eyes with a little dodging if possible.

Hey Beamer,
I know it's the critique section and all, but I don't really have anything negative to say :). The composition is good with a flow taking my eye from the bottom left towards the top right. The depth of field is just right for me.
Nice work. Pretty abstract, which is something I really enjoy.
jvgphoto (jon van gilder) added a critique 5 months ago:
Great use of lines and negative space - beautiful color and composition...what's not to like???
Best,

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 5 months ago:
I agree, great shot. Would work very well in Reflections also!! What is the surface??
crahan (Thomas Bouve) said 5 months ago:
It's a black dinner plate. Not very even (which is why the reflection isn't 100% perfect).
mikeock (Mike Adams) added a critique 5 months ago:
Very cool shot.
Great job and i hope to see this featured.
crahan (Thomas Bouve) said 5 months ago:
@Beamer: thanks for pointing me to the reflections topic. I had overlooked it.

Beautiful work on a beautiful object ;-)

Well done. DOF is perfect. Try or too crop more, or not to crop at all.
CEG added a critique 6 months ago:
Great Detail. What are you using? I can't seem to get a macro shot that tight with what I have right now.
crahan (Thomas Bouve) said 6 months ago:
@CEG: this was shot using a Nikkor 105mm micro. I was contemplating getting the Tamron 90mm instead of this lens for quite some time, but in the end I went with the Nikkor. Mainly because my budget could stretch that far and the front element doesn't extend, which the Tamron does.
ScottCrouse (Scott Crouse) added a critique 6 months ago:
I'd try putting the flower more off center. Get the yellow over to the left edge so the DOF shows better. Otherwise nice image.

that is a spectacular landscape.
i think it might be more powerful by removing some of the sky, or some of the foreground (but not both).
jvgphoto (jon van gilder) added a critique 10 months ago:
Out of this world - amazing capture! Thanks for sharing.
Nick (Nick) added a critique 10 months ago:
I usually like people in landscapes, but I feel this would be better without the person. The space would be emptier.
crahan (Thomas Bouve) added a critique 10 months ago:
The sky is amazing, the mountains have a silky feel to them and the ground adds a feeling of vastness to the image. Really spectacular components.
The only minor remark I have (if I may) is that I would have loved to see the person sitting in a sort of zen-like or meditation pose. Legs crossed for example.
That little remark aside I think the image is stunning.

Thanks Jon. This is a macro of the leaf of a Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) from my trip yesterday to Decanaso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, CA. Beautiful February sun, great day!!
moostive (Mohsen Rasoulov) added a critique 9 months ago:
Not that sharp, maybe the DOF is too short, a fave anyways.
crahan (Thomas Bouve) added a critique 9 months ago:
Stunning macro. The texture and color in this image are simply wonderful. A perfect fit for the textures category.
lotr_n1 (Nathan Hauser) added a critique 6 months ago:
great. super clean and crisp. well done!
Thank you...this is actually two yellow walls with a hallway between, it's just that by taking advantage of the angle it actually gives it a rounded feel. The various shades of yellow came simply from the lighting above.
