what great focus on a S.P!
the black object in the background camera right is a little distracting but the eyes pull you back to the subject. i like your use of a beard as a means of framing (kudos)

Gorgeous shot Bear. did you process this with the NIK HDRefex? if so i really like the subtleties that youre about to achieve with it. i love the color contrast in the ice in the foreground.

Classic New York

i really like the feel of this! the contrasty sepia totally brings out the New York vibe in it. did you add blur to the background? if so the blur around the empire state building seems a little harsh. i do however like how the blur makes the city fall away from you, definitely adding to the awesome dynamic of the photo

this is incredible. so soft and simple, yet dramatic and effective. you did a great job of isolating the subject without making him/her seem lonely.

great pet portrait! i really like the almost black and white feel with just the tinges of tan/brown in the fur.

incredible (like most of your stuff). i must admit i really like the colored photos that you do even more than your signature black and whites. the harsh almost caustic tones that you use at such low opacity really bring out the mood in this photo

I know that ive told you this before but i just love your work. these public "candids" that seem like they could be posed juxtapositions. you really know how to expose society, culture, and life, instead of just exposing light.

apart from the great composition and lighting/DR, the cuteness factor of this one really takes it from being a good photo to being a great photo. just yesterday i read something that made me think alot about the objectivity of candid-type shots, "it is highly important to realize that there can be no such thing as an emotionally neutral statement... whether we mean it or not every single thing we design and make will have some kind of subjective impact , for good or bad, over and above its overt rational purpose". in short no matter how well tuned a photo may be objectively, it is the subjective impact that makes a photo wonderful.
