Hi everybody, First, I'm sorry for being (again) so late with my assignment. Every month I would like to comment on many shots, but as usual I have so little time so I postpone, postpone and then... the month is over...
BTW, here they are: " Dozers at the ready " by César Matamoros II; This is an impressive image, especially for its content. I like the way you faced the argument. I don't know if I would have chosen a different angle or lens. The more I look at it the less I find alternative croppings. Well done. " Quiberon " by Jaume Lahuerta; *Almost* perfect in reproducing the mood of a sunny summer day. I really like the sky to be the most important part of the frame, it gives a sense of breathtaking spaciousness. The only thing I don't like in this picture is the separation between the sky and the sea/beach lower part of the frame. It seems they are really different entities. I would have tried to let the girl's arm in the foreground protude in the sky somehow. " Sunlit Grapes at Daybreak " by Jan van Wijk; If I must be honest, I think there is too much flash aid in this shot. The idea, the natural light, the composition are all good, but there is no good merging between the sunlight and the flashlight. I know, it's not always easy to accomplish a good fill-in, and I can say that I'm not always good in that myself, but the flash induced shadows are really too dark and a bit disturbing. I assume you were holding the camera with the flash on the right (right hand down). I suggest you to try to hold it with the flash on the side opposite to the main light, next time. Gianfranco Yahoo!
