You have indeed captured the essence of the Air Show, Brent! The precision of the pilots and their aircraft, the crowds including the paparazzi ! It does look uncomfortably crowded and kudos to you to endure the long line and wait. I liked how you isolated the lady walking along the shore under the pylon. That would make a good painting, kind of like Aphrodite/Venus rising from the sea. I know you an artist.
Boone, you have eliminated all the clutter that didn't matter and have made a fine portrait for your friend. You are a good friend, using your skills and talents to give him a priceless gift to cherish.
The Apocalypse! Forces of evil vs good...
Creative and thought provoking and all technically sound!
I loved the light in #2 and #4. Good work, Vicki. My problem is minimizing and simplifying and make the items have congruency. You have done well.
One of my very favorite animals!! So cute and such beautiful fur. Your images are so memorable, show so much personality in the kits. I am so glad I looked in tonight! what a joy!
You inspire me, Hal, to take pictures of what you are given! I cannot travel much these days, have limited hours to be out and about, yet there is beauty (and squirrels) all around us. Just have to pay attention.
Absolute Wowser, Regis. What is really striking is that contrast of red color against the brown/gray feathers of the osprey. And the red fish shows off those black talons! Of course I am not overlooking your photography skills of composition, sharpness, steadiness but those colors grabbed me right out of the gate. I am so glad I happened to look in tonight, I've been absent for a while. Glad to know you are staying healthy and safe.
I am eager to see more and will put you on my "buddy list" so that I will not miss them. I only get on site a couple times a week and currently don't post much, doing more painting than photography. Don't get discouraged, there are a lot of good photographers here, mostly kind people. But beware of those who critique when none is requested and for trolls who can't help themselves from making mean comments. You have to like your own work, what I call, "post-worthy". End the end, its only opinions.
its like fireworks! Or Christmas ornaments in August!
A great set, with 4&5 being absolutely stunning of both bird and flower. Definitely worth the wake up call. And as you said, the winner is having fun in the journey.
I love the graduation of colors and shades. I love the simplicity of the scene. This is dynamic.
Beautiful, Jack! What a wonderful event and for both of them to find joy and happiness, what more could parents want for their children. She is lovely. And your son-in-law is one big guy!
An evocative image, John. And I am thoroughly enjoying it. It does bring back the scene from Our Town. I didn't appreciate the theatrics of it at the time I first studied it (I was maybe 14). But now, the words Emily asks, "does anyone truly understand the value of life while they live it" make total sense to me and I would probably answer the same as the Stage Manager. This photo encompasses all that is small town America.
excellent, Mohammed! I am really impressed with your compositions as they move fast enough that its difficult to position yourself in the best spot. Well done, friend.
Intriguing images and love the creativity. All very post-worthy and enjoyable.
