Oil derrick

I can't find a slice of sky that holds both the proportions of composition and the tension.

This one just begs for a child wistfully staring through the window. The human factor would add something here.

As it is, a touch more contrast in the sign might high light the irony.

I would have zoomed(cropped, if that wouldn't have been posiible) on the bird+den entrance only. There is a large area with burnt-out highlights that not only is useless compositionwise, but also distracts the eye.

This is a very nice photo. The only small change i would have made is a slight change in crop so that to get the right leg of the person out of the vignetted area. The leg posture is too expressive to be left out of the highlighted area.

Out early this morning working with the DA15, found this sweet little minimalistic scene along frederiks canal in the center of Copenhagen

Hi Alan

Silos, I like the utilatarian aspect of this series of tubes... The thought that they might be filled with wheat or some other useful commodity gives the whole concept a psychological weight... I like the b+w treatment, I would not mind if you went a little further with pp making it more dramatic, perhaps higher contrast... I like the composition, the clouds in the sky with a little amusing connecting the dots in my mind could easily turn the whole row on the left into enourmous smoke stakes spewing celestial smoke...Perspective wise it feels okay, but I wonder if it could be improved by straigntning out the verticals in some fancy software, In photoshop i guess it would be called skew, distortion or perpective transformation..

Nice work!!

Regards

Brent

Hi Robert!!

I find at first glance the image: "Restless sea" is very entrancing.. The surface a myriad of rivulets and eddies, defined by long sweeping sinus curves is very attractive... The gentle grays to whites make for a soothing impression... It could be interesting to see the image with more tonal gradiations from dark to light but it might be hard to bring out if there was no dark tones in the original..

Good Work!

Regards

I get a sense of an immense wilderness when first perusing; "Kenai River". the slate grey surface of the river etched by small wavelets moving towards the viewer full on occupying the front bottom of the frame, relentless it moves on filling the psychic space of the image.. To catch some relief the eyes move on up the frame, but there is no relief just a mass of dark pines, following on up the image the peaks above seem toned down in brightness as if saying hey if your going to get out of this place your going to have to work for it, until almost passing out with exhaustion, we reach the sky, gasping for breath, at this huge space that the image could contain, in this little rectangle, on my computer screen on this morning in little old Copenhagen...

breakroom series #1, is quite a powerful image.. The raw concrete slab that the man has chosen to lay down on intimates a hot climate, working long hours in the heat just needing to rest on the cool concrete.. There is a strange sterility to the scene the perfect bricik wall the placement of the bucket and the cases looks very pertinently placed, maybe something institutional about it, a prison a school or something.. The b+w treatment helps keep the image minimalistic.. the prostrait placement of the man head closest the viewer, imparts a sense of vulenrabillity of the individual in sleep in w wrong time and a wrong place...

Great Work!!

Regards

Brent

Pretty butterfly, Dominique. A bit too much empty space on the left for my liking, although that may have been intentional. My preference would be to crop vertically and focus on the butterfly and flower.

I love the colours, angles and textures, Brent - there's enough material there for two or three photos. My only minor criticism is the lack of a definite point of interest to stop my eye roaming all around the frame, but the combination of shapes, planes and colours makes for an arresting image.

You've captured the expressions and happy atmosphere very well. The warm colours add to the feeling of a happy occasion. I don't know if this is a crop or not, but I'd like to see a bit more of the face of the person on the right. It just feels a little cramped to me.

To my mind, the horizontal placement of the framework makes it look too static to really create a feeling of vertigo. How about trying a sharply tilted diagonal crop? That should create a more dynamic image.

If that was in Australia, the bicycles would probably be chained to the sign!

Technically I can't find much to comment on. It's a nice image with a touch of humour.
