I have been fortunate to draw a couple pictures that have received other
comments on the list for my first set of assigned photos. Here goes
nothin:
"The Finish Line" -- Lasse Karlsson
I have to admit that on the first pass through the list I didn't notice
that the runners were the only things in color. Guess my mind disregarded
the obvious difference. On second look though, it's a striking change-up.
Leaves me wondering how it was done. I agree with some others that I would
like the shot to include more of the stadium and less of the track in front
of the runners. I would also like to see a little more space to each side,
though I think you said there were offending items to each side that you
chose to omit. Love how you were able to capture the runners at various
stages of their finish-line stride. It's good to get all the runners in a
single shot like that. I understand you were actually in the run-off area.
It's an extraordinary place to be for that race, those guys seem like they
would be so focused on their race that they'd run you over in a heartbeat
and get up wondering what happened. Keep your head up mate. Looks like
they were all pretty close at the end, who won?
"Our Lady Of Three Graces" --Jim Brooks
I was struck by the ghostly look of the faces. The grain is a little
distracting. I'd like to see a little more definition in the face on the
right, though that might lessen the ghost-effect I like so much. Why are
the noses glowing? I find it amazing that this is a photo of statues
outside. It's something I'd like to see in person. I would really like to
see the rest of the statues, I'm curious to see how the faces are portrayed
in "real-life" :)
"Alto" -- D. Glenn Arthur Jr.
This is an interesting shot. I know I would have included the whole
instrument, probably to the detriment of the image. That lavender tint in
combination with the star filter reminds me of the Seventies and ABBA for
some reason. The watch is distracting. Three flashes eh? Some day I may
work that hard and achieve a nice images like this. Probably not though....
Where's the other hand?
Of course, I could be full of it. I don't really know anything about
pictures anyway :)))
