You are correct. I just wish I had a camera when I was a child. The images I have in my memory are of a simpler lost time. That's why I try to photograph my town where I live now. It's constantly changing and I am hoping to record a story for future generations. |

Jim, I agree. More contrast would have increased the depression that this image is trying to convey. |

I like your rendition and it would normally be the treatment had it not been a prison. I intensionally made the image darker to show the dreariness, darkness, and sadness associated with the prison. I was imagining what it felt like to spend 10.20. 30 years and this is the best view you can expect for all that time. As Peter said "a typical lost-place-picture". |

I prefer in the mono versions and the crop is perfect. The image is tac sharp and the bokeh is excellent. Very nice. |

The mono version makes the koala's fur look softer and fuzzier, which I like. Personally, I prefer the original cropping. The second koala seems to be sleeping and makes me wonder if the koala on the right is also heading for a nap. The two of them provide a nice diagonal which connects the upper left and lower right of the image, filling the canvas without over crowing. It also leads my eye from the sleeping koala to the main subject and the log he is setting on forces my eye back to him. |

Jim, this is a very nice photograph. The mono-infrared version looks like the ground is covered in snow and the sun has melted it on the sidewalk, road, and monuments. It could be an image from the early 1900's in New Orleans. I lived there for seven years and got to know one of the local photographers. He showed me a picture of his father standing on a 3 ft snow bank during Mardi Gras. His father told him that when he was a child, snow was not uncommon and ice flows would occasionally be seen coming down the Mississippi. Your image reminds me of his photo. Very nice. |

Beautiful young lady. Her smile says how much she enjoyed having her picture taken by you and the trust she had in you. The eyes are very interesting. They remind me of a Russian Gypsy song "Dark Eyes". The highlights are a bit distracting. I've darkened her pupils while retaining the reflection. It would be interesting to take a picture of her in the future to see how she has grown. |

Peter, this is an amazing image. The detail and sharpness is outstanding, down to the water rings where their legs enter the water. I agree with the earlier comments about the Asian reference. The background works well. It looks like one would expect water to look. Congratulation on the 3 acceptances. |

I like the moody look of #2, the winner for me is #3. It's cheerful and jumps off the screen. It's full of depth. I agree with Henry that adding a vignette would help with focusing the eye on the center. Very nice image. |
