Hi all,
Time to bite the bullet, and write some comments. I decided to comment on
every photo, which turned out not to be the wisest course of action. At
some point, 'nice' somehow starts to sound derisive, and repetition sets
in. I'd like to point out that is not intended. So:
--
Janne: Very nice shot.
Trevor: Cool: It looks like they went out with a bang :o)
John: Great find, and well captured. The pun is unintended, I hope?
Boris: I like the clashing colors and the composition. If they were put
there intentionally, it would have been art...
Rob: Cool thing. As you say, the size is hard to gauge, even if pointed
out. I 'know' the size, but I don't 'see' it, if you know what I mean.
Ann: I don't play scabble, and this is one of the reasons why ;-) Fits the
theme nicely...
Matjaž: That's insane! Thanks for showing.
Joseph: I like the depth in the image, and your explanation (though I
suspect that was not
why you took the pic ;-) Somehow, the castle still rules over it's
surroundings...
Harald: I like the shape of the barn, and I really love how the colors of
this picture
pull the background and foreground together, while the trees still
seperate them. It gives
a 'unified' look without loosing depth.
Tom: Wonderfull shot, great colors. I somehow miss the uselessness on this
one.
Marnie: I 'like' her gaze. It would have told the story without your
explanation. That's quite a feat to accomplish. It's a pity about the
popup flash though :/
Tony: <grin> I think _he_ finds the remote quite usefull ;-)
Dan: Initially the bow of the ship disturbed me, but without it it would
be too much of a
postcard. And the fountain repeating the flag is nice (or am I seeing
things?). I'm
undecided...
Martin: Nice picture. I don't agree with the 'momentarily useless',
though. It's great fun
to be on a ship that falls dry (<-that was a literal translation from
Dutch, I hope you
get my meaning)
Bruce: Nice picture. My only criticism would be that you can't see that
it's rebuilt and
not working in the photo...
Kenneth: I really like this one. It makes me think of René Magritte's
"citizens", which
can't be a bad thing.
Scott: Hmmm, is small change useless? Money in general? Or even 'liberty'?
And who on
earth has the audacity to put '1984' and 'liberty' on the same coin? If
all of the above is
intentional _really_ like the shot. I only wonder if I would have looked
so hard if I were
not commenting...
Dag: Wow, that's minimalism with a capital M. I learned that one should
leave out
unneccessery elements, but you take that to the extreme. And it still
tells several
stories... Wow again!
Tim: Nice shot.
Gianfranco: That is brutal. Well composed, and more shocking than a
picture of a real
killed animal. The power of the imagination...
Pancho: <glup> Tough to camment after that last remark... I'm a bit
undecided on this one: it's neither pleasing nor shocking. It might have
been better if the wasp was clearer, but I can imagine that a closup would
have been hard to get... As you write, if anything it raises some good
questions ;)
Raimo: You certainly nicely captured the velvet. I'm not sure about it's
uselessness: it isn't in a museum for nothing?
Markus: Great composition and colors; a lovely picture, and a story to
match!
Robert: Nice. To answer the question: I think so :o)
Jens: <very big grin> I've got some like that! I can definitely indentify
with the sentiment...
Collin: I like it a lot, you capture the atmosphere of the place very well.
Lucas: Oh no, I talk to myself too much as it is...
Rick: Nice shot.
John: Cool!
E.R.N. Reed: <grin>
Luben: I've seen this one before, I think. I liked it then, and I still
like it now. Very
threathening atmosphere. You can almost hear the wind building up.
Steve: _Very_ well done (and running trains are not that easy, I tried...)!
Paolo: Looks very nice. I'd like to see a bigger version of this one (or
did I miss a
PESO?). I don't think a picture this small does it justice.
For what it's worth,

Regards, Lucas
