Oh my, this looks so good in monochrome. I am wondering if you perchance put a slight selenium tint on this without realizing it? You do have a bluish halo on the tower. I love the fact that there is a human in the doorway in the far distance. Your pov is great giving good lead lines. This photo almost looks edible....delicious visually!

I like the solid feel to this presentation and your title is great. I would not have minded a bit more at the bottom...showing the shelf. Nice tonal contrasts shown here.

Nice square crop that always works with a circular focal point. The warm hues of orange both within and without draw us to the beauty of the "dirty" photo which doesn't look dirty except for the coffee grounds. Minimalism in theory...the minimalism of dirt. Again, very clever and I really like how you see your world around you.

(5 years and 234 days ago)

good taste
avatar still26
still26 says:

This is well done with the focus on the nut in good sharpness and clarity. You have a nice tight crop which captures dirt or rather that feeling of dirty throughout.

I wonder if a closer crop to eliminate that pink bag that steals attention from the floral arrangement would improve this shot, however, it is all about artistic prerogative? I bow to yours.

I like your composition of this photograph. You do have a dust spot on your gray area just above the stone to our L. Had the focus been sharp on the diamond instead of the cork, it would have been a stronger image.

A most respectable photograph in monochrome with a vast range of tonality. Slight vignette really accentuates the seagull and our eyes are held to your image. A well-balanced photograph and your shutter speed is perfect to freeze the gull in flight and show details of his feathers. By presenting this photograph it demonstrates to the viewer how you and your camera are best friends.

Victory
avatar still26
still26 says:

Oh my, what a noble post of the "king of the house"!...such majesty is felt here and there is no argument who is boss. I think the off-center works here and the non-obstructive background further enhances the main focal point. It is a meaty post, well contrasted, pin sharp on the eyes for when the eyes are in focus all smattering of sins are forgiven. It is my own personal feeling but the marginal space at the top could come down somewhat and that would make Oscar even larger than he already is....but that is just my own preference.....meow! Purrrrrrrrrfect, top of the shelf work.

There is a really loud pop on your focal point which is wonderful and as viewers we get it instantly. The diagonal white triangle at the lower left confuses the eye somewhat and gives it a slide off the frame effect. The work of the photographer can clearly be seen and the photo is one that has been created and not just snapped.

This surely looks cool. See that white pole coming out of the glass in the background? It looks like another straw but I see it isn't! The colour palette of this image in cool blues also adds to the beauty.
