I agree that there are so many images that are admirable for many different reasons...
Walter Hamler's "Hot Dog Heaven" is a great application of fisheye lines (if they haven't purchased this image from you for use on menus and advertising, Walter, they are crazy. Since you enjoy the place, take your payment in hot dogs). "Orangutan to the Rescue!" by Eric A. Kantchev is wonderful in lighting, sharpness and especially in capturing a photogenic moment of an animal in motion. "Mt La Gorce" by Ken Waller is postcard perfect, and I mean that in the best possible sense. I'd be delighted to have such a gorgeous image to my credit. I love the interplay of abstract and real in both Stan Halpin's "Mallard" and "Bavarian Woods" by Rick Womer. If I had taken either one I know I would have a Very Large print of it on my wall. My one minor quibble with "Nationale" by Ann Sanfedele (that the vertical lines aren't vertical) can be easily overlooked by the brilliant repetition of triangles in the composition. Ad woman's legs, walker's legs, sleeping on bench guy's leg, folded corner of the peeling ad. A terrific B&W street shot. The image that struck me (at small size) the most, and the one I still have the most questions about (as in "i'm intruigued" is "Don't Go Bananas" by Paul Sorenson. I'd love to know more about how that was made, Paul (and why). Really nice work by all. -- 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.
