Hi Tom
Thanks for the comment. I think I was in a bit of hurry when I submitted that

Here's my basic thoughts on the shots that struck me:
Sailboat on a sparkling ocean by Steven Sharpe
http://pug.komkon.org/07nov/slides/boat925.html
A strong image, made so by three simple elements. Light on the water adds
even more. Nice! My favorite of the gallery.

I also think the photo is a bit too dark. I think I might have edited the
photo under different lighting than when I calibrated the monitor.
Thanks for the comments. I keep forgetting to write "Comments welcome" when I
submit pictures to the PUG.

Hi,
This month I feel like commenting some of the pictures displayed that cached my
eyes. Since perfection doesn't exist, I'll try not only to point positive but
also negative (constructive) aspects, that I think it is also a useful feedback.

Another all digital capture, and what a stunner. Flowers on black background
always look great, the very direct light playing on the petals creating
interesting patterns. A closer square crop would add rather than detract,
for me.

You know, Cotty,
When I first noticed the "ears" (aka: necklaces) above Claire's head, I too
thought they were unintentional.
Then, I recalled the old saying "there are no accidents" (was that Freud?
no matter...).
Those "ears" are in that photo for a reason. God was speaking there, Cotty.
Thanks Cotty, I would like to claim some skill was involved but it was all
luck. There are many problems with modern cameras but TTL flash isn't one
of them. With this shot and the K1000 it was more of guess and pray.

" Support "
by Mick Maguire,
USA:
I like the subject - 19th century trains and bridges
have appeal. Massive beams, lots of rivets, built to
last. Definitely pre-electronic stuff. This shot is
effective in showing that.Good DOF and textures on the
anvil-shaped piece. The toning suits the subject.
