Ed--I'm going to suggest something radical: make the whole image about the right figure and crop in very close to him which will leave just enough of the second figure to suggest hand-to-hand combat plus add a little color from the blue and the bit of red. This could also remove the distracting wooden structure. The right figure is dynamic and interesting enough to be the sole subject. Just a thought. |

Bruce--I hope you will keep experimenting with this technique becauseI think you now know what you DON'T want. I think a tripod will also help. Good luck! |

Pinaki-- When I look at this image I am puzzeled and distracted by the strange stick on the left that is a pair with the photographer on the right. What is it? Why is it there? Fireworks are always too bright but that is in their nature so I accept that. The mysterious face of Lord Rama through the smoke is effective. The figure of the photographer with his hat and suit jacket and phone is somewhat incongruous and wonderful. |

Bev--I agree with Isaac's crop and straightening. The little barrier on the left suggests the location of the artwork that is the subject of the teacher's remarks but there's really nothing to give the narrative of an art museum setting, unfortunately. |

Isaac-- Seems like the skills to shoot out of a moving vehicle should be cultivated by anyone interested in street photography since the POV from street level is best seen from a car. This man and his cart with rubber tires and pineapples is a dynamic figure. The background provides important context. Your discussion with Pinaki regarding "snapshots" and street photography is interesting. I have a friend in Europe who becomes offended if I call one of his images a "shot" because that suggests to him unplanned and off-the-cuff when he is quite deliberate in his photography. What makes street photography fun is banging out a lot of images on the fly on a busy street full of interesting people like this hard-working pineapple vendor. |

Robin--This image seems like six individual pictures; they are related but completely isolated from each other. This causes some tension in my mind, as does the wavy effect of the glass. To me, this is not a comfortable picture. It makes me want to resolve it somehow but no solution is available. I like photographs that don't cooperate. |

John--The snow looks like it was dollopped on with a spoon like meringue. The building looks to me like it's leaning backwards; perhaps it is. To me the subject is the snow rather than the building. |

Gary--To me this really suggests alien worlds. I have no knowledge of what it takes to make an image like this but it sure looks impressive. The rocks are beautiful and the meteor trails are amazing. Nice work. |

Peter--The scooter seems to be "looking" at the locked gate in frustration. The angle of its handlebars echo the diagonal lines on the signs and the holes in the helmet echo the puddles. You show us a story even with minimal elements. |

Gerard--I remember the Polanski McBeth but hadn't thought of it for many years! This image is everything I want a castle picture to be. The wonderful tufted grass and the tormented sky enhance the forbidding nature of the building. I would definately remove the bright line at the bottom. Out, out damn spot! |

Barbara--Another lovely flower study; there's nothing prettier than a rose. I agree with the comments that the background should be uninterupted black. Very nice! |
