Thanks for your comments and criticismes

Perfect in this "Topic", nice frame as well.
Well done lol ;)

Thanks Eric !

I love the minimalist feel to this work.

I love the perspective of this photo.

thanks for your comment, Jason !

Excellent! Unique perspective (How original can I get). I'm in favour of cropping the bottom.

this one is cool.
I think, if the bottom wouldn't be there then the comments would be like " I wish the shadow could be complete" :-))
so as it is wwe know why the shadow is not complete :-)))

cheers
v.t.

I think I understand Vernon's idea and I agree. But the game is to suggest a way to improve the picture... In the end, you do what you want with the suggestions.
:o)

its great. the blurred foreground gives us distance. but its the shadow that really makes this image.

Thanks for your comments; it's a scanned picture (sorry for the dust).

Quite funny pic lol, well done indeed !!

I like the picture! Really caught a great moment!

:-))) so funny!

look at that doodle!! so cute!

This is really a stopped motion, well done. I think it was maybe not that easy. The position of the guy in the photo is great, but I wold like a little more space above and on the right side. And of course the arm is not tack sharp, but it doesn't disturb that much.
And I love the square format.

Pretty intense, but I think it needs to be sharp.

It is a very well captured image. If I were being picky I would have preferred to see more separation between the upper body and the background, but hey, it's very good!

Thanks for your nice comments !

Great shot! You stopped the action perfectly. Great color too!

Thanks Eric for writing a comment.

I like it...I like the fact that you can see his eyes and expression...a little dark, but it's a difficult image to capture, all and all very nice.

Nice shot, but, maybe, this shot could have been posted in the Solitude topic.

Thank you for your honnest comments

Yeah this was a difficult photo to expose but you captured it the best you can. Ever consider cropping the photograph in that you only see the hands? My reasoning is that it looks to be better exposed and you can crop it to be panoramic. Just a thought.

beautiful use of light and shadow. but i had choose another higher perspective, because for me your throat looks to long. nevertheless a cool portrait.

Wonderful shot - really personifies male strength.

Very nice; I like the balance of black on the left and right. It's very strong. I'd be interested in seeing you try other moods as well (changing the angle, direction of your eyes, etc).

i like this photo a lot love the lighting and the shadows...the perspective has emphasized the length of the neck though.

This picture is great! The lighting is powerful. Great shot!

Great colors in the clouds! Wish i could see this as a panoramic just to see what it would look like, with the clouds and sunset going off to the right.

Thanks for your criticisms

I think the cropping is done very well. The smoke pulls the eye was I think you intended.

I absolutely love the color in this picture. You captured this perfectly. :)

Indeed, it is beautiful. The colors, the lines, the composition work extremely well.

Well spotted . This could look dull but the framing and theme works great . Nice shot

Its look unbalanced for me but still a good shot indeed Christophe

Thanks for your comment, Eyeseethings (well seen !)

I like this texture :) I would have added more contrast and would give the colors some boost, but it's already nice :)

fine idea, good concept and composition (only the balance needs a bit more attention, I think, and the colours could be a bit stronger)

Looks much like the thistle we have in our area. Your photo brings out a sharp and artistic expression.

Félicitations Christophe :-)

Beautiful use of light and texture. J. Kirstein

Thanks , Eric and Janiskir

Nicely composed and beautifully processed.

Any comment ?
