A Celestial Rose

There's not much to say for these kind of images, because technicalities go beyond standard photography and the art here is more in the thought and contemplation, rather than in aesthetic rationalities. Now you made me want to go and browse your portfolio so that I can escape into Universe. I'll do just that.

Thanks for the comments, they're very educational. I understand now that this image relies too much on the background and it can't stand strongly alone.

Deb, I like black and white more than colour, that's why I try to have the latter as less as possible. I just felt it that in this case colour would be a definit feature. I'll take your advise and try something similar in monochrome. I'll add some shadows as well, for Don's sake.

Thanks again...

Thanks for the title; at first, I got scared from the photo, it's done very well, with piercing eyes and a strong shadow. But then, I read the title and loled.

In the bus...

The hairstyle of the girl in the commercial photo glued to the side of the bus which is being reflected by the window of the car on the left is the same as the hairstyle of the girl that is dreaming to became just as beautiful or maybe just go home and have a rest and whose backhead you photographed. So, there's the face...

Just Not Very Bright

This made me laugh... While looking at this photo, I have to take a position, a role, and considering the challenge, I think of myself as the police man. Well, the only place I've seen the mugshot genre is at the smoking gun, so... Now, I feel bad for arresting this guy.
A very smart and lighthearted presentation.

Bank Shot, Side Rail

Nice study of collisions and reflections. It's a very smart choice that there are two colours. Again, a very good example that I'd like to see in a physics textbook.

Better, the tilt gives it more tension. The one you entered is quite balanced. This one is more dynamic.

River of Gold

OOOOOO, WOW, this is beautiful! There are two different images here, the sky and the trees, in one side, and the water and the ripples, waves, on the other. I understand that it is difficult having a sharp photo with a 6.7 aperture, but I wish there was a bit more definition on the far field, like the clouds and the trees. The water itself is beautiful, it would be beautiful to have the lower part of the photo on a physics textbook. And the colours are beautiful, very nice, dynamic and appeased at the same time.
