I am 100% in agreement with all the comments above: keep the bust, correct the tiny tilt, good b/w, good model, but above all I like your crop. |

Hi Wes, this is well done, the angle, the sky, the subject matter. You fulfil one of the great purposes of photography, that is to take us all traveling.
Maybe the roadbed could have been a bit lighter, but maybe not. |

I love traveling with you, Tom, this is very interesting. I suggest a bit bright and more contrast. See if my take from your color original looks any different. |

Som,
Your image is interesting and innovative. The result is successful.
Per the discussion with Tom, if all you did was park and wait, consistent with the conservancy rules, then I would tend to think that was OK, but if you drove around repeatedly to set up this situation, perhaps that was too much stress on the animals. |

Tom said it all. I totally agree. Very pleasing image of this tiny bundle of activity. |

Your result has good lighting on the calla, and I very much like the stem coming out of the bottom corner. I suggest it come out of the exact corner with the bottom left edge of the stem at the corner.
I don't care for the background; I would prefer solid black. And a great deal more space above the calla, about 50% more than you have.
You could add a white stroke all around to frame the image and separate it from the black background of our display. |

Thanks for the advice, Tom, about the lower angle. I agree. This points out two flaws in my technique. One is sheer laziness about thinking about the right angle and getting down to shoot from that angle. The other is much deeper and requires me to introspect. Was I shooting down at a hired worker because of an unconscious class behavior? Did my angle steal some dignity from her image? Something for me to keep in mind this summer! |

Lovely shot. A set of 4 seasonal images would make a nice study. |

Very successful. Your image entirely lacks annoying notes that a street shot might have. How many shots did you take to get this pleasant and balanced arrangement of people? It seems like each section of your image is a separate story. I don't know what your Post does in the UK, but here in the USA our Postal Service issues stamps depicting everyday life in public areas, in which maybe four separable stamps merge together to form a scene like this. Here is one such, of a county fair. |

Hello Ian,
Very striking shot. It stimulates me with a couple of connections.
First, shooting in the day to appear night was celebrated in the 1973 Truffaut film, "Day for Night" (the English title).
Second, your stunning lighting reminds me of the Wynn Bullock image, "Let There be Light," that appeared in The Family of Man exhibit at the NY Museum of Modern Art in 1955, and appeared on the title page of the exhibit book. Here is an image copy below. |

Wow, I think I have been there! In 1989, during a tour of India with my wife and three kids, we were in Kashmir for a few days on the Dal Lake. Our tour guide took us to a "glacier" where we went sledding. This looks just like the spot. While there, we saw some soldiers dressed for snow exercises, carrying ladders, and heading on foot up into the glacial terrain, evidently to practice traversing the crevasses. |

Odd as it may sound, I really like the background. I think it gives drama to the image, not common in floral photography. Still odder, the composition made me immediately think of the 1943 Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles film of "Jane Eyre." Of course the flower is Jane, and the background reminds me of the lighting in that film. |
