Since entries are closing for the June PUG, I thought I would comment on the May PUG.
It is comparatively a small gallery, but there are some interesting and highly effective shots. My overall favorite is "On The Road" by George K. Vlachou. It certainly well exemplifies the "Travel" theme, and it embodies the "feel" of the Kerouac novel to which the title refers. The straight and empty road beckons, and the clouds aid an air of mystery and suspense. There is something undefined at the vanishing point -- the hint of a hill or perhaps a storm -- that draws the eye. I like the composition and the dominance of the green color of the fields. A very polished and complete image. "... like a glove" by Bruce Walker: Another good interpretation of the theme. I enjoy the humor of this shot, and the way the image is composed so that the tiny car over-fills the frame. The color of the car and the reflections add to the overall effect. "palafitaschilo" by jorge zaven kurkdjian: Nice colors and pleasing composition. "The Orca" by Filip Nicolai: The splash of red provided by the boat contrasts well with the bright and dominant blue of the water for a very effective image. The following gulls add a touch of humor that enhances the whole. "Moonrise, Imperial 500, Wildwood, NJ" by Matthew Hunt: I like the warmth of the colors and melancholy effect of the empty parking lot. It certainly has the feel of a Jersey Shore town. "NB I-5, Snohomish, WA, USA" by Joseph McAllister: A strong interpretation of the theme. It could use a more interesting sky, but it makes the best of what is there. "Going nowhere" by Nick David Wright: The boy's posture and His red shirt make this image come alive and give it interest. "Lost in Space" by William Robb: The bright blue sky balances the emptiness of the landscape. I especially like the curve of the road in the lower right corner. "Waiting for the Main Course" by Brian Walters: This image has a feeling of action and of anticipation that works well. I love the way all the birds are facing inward, toward the fisherman. The red/orange highlights on the fish draw attention to the center of the composition. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
