Hi everybody, I didn't want to come to this, but, for a lot of reasons, I've postponed to comment on the PUG assignment shots once too long. I hope you'll be so kind to be indulgent...
" The Tower and the (Ghost) Church " by Jaume Lahuerta. I like it. There are many things I can point out (like the building in the lower left corner, or the dark - dust? - spots in the upper part of the frame) that I feel a bit annoying, but the whole image works. I'd suggest to redo the shot with a tele in the same situation to see what happens when cropping on the field. The grain is not disturbing, though, and helps to the final result. " Helpless " by Frank Theriault. As you say, this is not a very good shot, neither is a really ugly one, though... What really doesn't work, IMNSHO, is the lack of a human presence under the inscription. I would have avoided to include in the frame the white edge of the sign over the inscription, too. I appreciate your intentions, though. That's all guys, I'm sorry I'm not able to say more. I promise I'll try to comment on the PUG pictures as soon as they appear on the web starting from January...
