Door to Sea or Reflect to the Courtyard

Wonderful shot, but I just wish the sandy looking line on the bottom of the window was cropped off. I can't tell if it's the beach or a railing on the porch. Otherwise a visually stunning photo.

The Sound of Silence
by Keith Maniac

Comment:
At first glance I thought this was an extension of a stage and the guy was performing some type of act (e.g., comedy). I thought that it captures well the reaction and isolation of a performer who is just not connecting with his audience. I thought that this is truly when you really do hear the "sound of silence" and it can be deafening.

However, I think your photo has a similar theme and even though the person on the end of the pier isn't performing for an audience, he is hearing the "sound of silence."

Congrats and great job!

It is a very good photo, but until I scrolled down and saw the half-eaten sandwich I mentally hadn't formed an opinion as to who he was. For me it was the half-eaten sandwich in his hand that made me understand this photo.

Beautiful photo and model. I found your comments on the lighting of the scene to be quite interesting and useful.

Great use of the fisheye on one of my favorite streets in one of my favorite cities.

This was all the photographer did: I got some soft pads and attached them to my tripod legs. Took some ratchet straps and attached the tripod above and below the trunk. I used my remote and set a 15 second interval to take photos while I was driving.

WOW!!! Now that is going the extra mile to get a great photo! It's going too far...maybe, but I love the creativity. Awesome photo and a fantastic technique. By the way, in what city does WalMart have a circular driveway attached to a multi-level parking lot??

Great use of B&W. I like the train and parkway heading off beyond our view and the skyline in the background.

Great action shot! I can see why they use mouth restrainers on the greyhounds--the dogs would be taking bites out of each other.

Morning Zen

This is my idea of Zen. My "zen" requires a functioning brain which this cup of dark coffee provides. The only thing I would point out is the shadows in the coffee cup and on the table. Some lighting or editing may have been able to take care of this, but otherwise it's a well executed and creative shot on a difficult challenge.
