Thank you, Diana. My walking program is late afternoon, so I get good light.
Once again, I have no idea when something I do will look good to others. This one, I just threw together, but hey presto it came out. |

Yes, you are right about the crop on the top. I was tight on the side, so I matched that on top, but I think you have the better sense of it. |

Your monochrome conversion emphasizes her "straight look" even more than in the original. This makes the image. That "look" is ambiguous, complex, and a little disquieting. Everything a photographer wants to capture. Well done. |

Such a well-studied building.
You did a great job with this view. How I enjoy visiting it through your image.
Ordinarily, I would not like such a wide white border, but I think it works well for this image. |

Tom, great treatment to convey your concept. Good to simplify and remove the branches on the left.
Ed, you made an excellent interpretation of Tom's original.
One could almost assign everyone in a group to take a crack at such an original. But I doubt if I could produce anything like you two have. |

You mean a completely circular design? What an interesting idea. |

Yes, the shadow recovery is great. The entire image is superb.
If I can say anything, I like the darker clouds on the right of the original color version. |

Welcome to PSA.
Please tell us all more about your image. You can mention the place, but also your intention of what you were trying to capture, and how you felt about the place.
I particularly noticed that you include both near and far elements. So you must have used a small aperture. Do tell us about that and what was the lens focal length. |

A very calming composition. It makes me think about how many eons it took for that layer of quartz to be embedded in that rock. |

I think you have cropped this down to an interesting image of multiple stories, maybe not related, and maybe related.
Just in terms of composition, I like the four subject areas, the man's hand, the crouching woman, the mannequin in the window, and also the feet of a second mannequin.
Do they relate? Possibly the man would like to have an interaction with the lonely woman. Perhaps she would like to have a relationship with a young man like the mannequin. Perhaps the mannequin would like to be real and meet the young woman. Perhaps the feet of the other mannequin admires the feet of the woman, and might also want a body as attractive as the full mannequin.
Congratulation for an interesting image. |

Hello Maxim,
Your comments in your section and in the sections of your group colleagues are very thoughtful, and full of interesting and incisive analysis. I quite agree with your own comments as you introduced your image. I particularly like the placement of your subject far to the right so that you can tell the separate story of the traffic officer directing traffic in the rain in the background, with no umbrella. This image brings to mind a little the 1877 painting by Gustave Caillebotte called Paris Rainy Day. |

Very successful! This shows what one's eyes and feelings observe in the place.
I see similarities in your work to South African David Goldblatt's documentation of long-distance segregated commuters, and of course Robert Frank's willingness to shoot out of focus. But you have take this in your own direction, and I admire your objective to tell multiple stories within a single big story. |

This is a charming shot. I like how you brought out the colors a little, without excess. Your crop is perfect, focusing on the contrasting shapes and angles of the buildings.
Although this is very good as you have it in color, you might also try and see how it comes out in monochrome. |

The gentleman's face and expression are interesting.
I think it might have been better to include his right hand on the instrument. Cut off as it is, I want to see more.
Working with what you shot, I suggest cropping in closer to exclude more of his right arm and top of the body of his instrument. |
