There are simply too many good shots in this gallery to comment on.
Without grading, scrolling down page:
"Hairway to Steven" by Bucky. Classic approach. Well executed.
"Lone Hiker, Mt Fuji." by Jeff Tsai. A human, properly dimensioned visavi the elements.
"Possession" by Albano Garcia. Without trying to read too much into it, the simple B&W
arrangement works well.
"The Driver Walked Away" by Byron Butler. Congratulations! A really lucky shot, well
captured. And the flying "Michelin" sign, exactly in the right place - I almost
suspected it for being manipulated. This is a type of shot when you are very grateful
to modern camera technology, isn't it?
"Solitude" by Collin Brendemuehl. A simple idea, well executed. The framing is
essential to it's quality.
"Irish Ass" by Rob Powell. I like this picture, despite my own objections to several
aspects of it - the scanning, or maybe even the actual shot, lacks in focus and
resolution; compositional-wise it is...well it's not what an arts teacher would have
recommended - the ass is simply placed there, right in the middle of the picture,
creating a rather static view. And yet I find it both pleasing, entertaining and
refreshing.
I simply like watching that ass, right there. A strong statement. :-)
"Betsy On the Rocks" by Ed Mathews. Yes, already a classic (I think I saw it earlier
on a web photo site?). Speaks for itself, I guess.
"untitled" by Ann Safedele. I like the colors and the atmosphere. Would have liked to
know what lens you used.
"The woods" by Luis Pinar. Very good. It is slightly too dark in my browser.
"The Witness" by William Johnson. Borders to the too obvious, but comes out well, just
because of the ambiguity to it. Who's the witness? What do we/he/she see?
"The Flirt" by D. Glenn Arthur Jr. Particularly the top frame. I'm a sucker for this
kind of (what I call) sexual (in it's broad sense - others may call it "sensual" or
"romantic") interaction between two people. Kind of depersonalized by the colors,
which still (or maybe further) makes the basic emotions show.
"Caffein Express" by Bill Casselberry. A good photo. I like the "creamyness" of the
colours.
"Barri Gotic, Barcelona, 1999" by Juan J. Buhler. A good example of a classic
European(?) photographic genre of the twentieth century. It is slightly too light in
my browser. I liked it more when turning it darker.
I also enjoyed watching:
"Apostle at Ste. Chapelle" by Gerald Cermak. If you want beauty, go to the churches.
It really seems like this 43mm lens is something extra.
"Casual Visitor" by Tom Vannenburg. Nice colours, very good composition.
"hornets" by Timo Hartikainen. Kinda jealous of the top one...
I really liked most of the photos in the gallery, so thanks to all you submitters,
Lasse
