I missed last weeks so thought I'd do this weeks Picks before breakfast, yet still most of my Picks have already been picked
🙄 and I'm hungry
😀 Oh well, here are some that caught my eye
Finguanzo - Very effective in many ways. I like the ever so slightly faded sense of stateliness that comes across via the shabby raincoat and gentleman's millenery. The rim of light around it is, as noted, a lovely touch but so too is the fact the ears, neck and collar are all placed beautifully on the dark forms of the people infront. There is a play of light here that flows brilliantly throughout.
Onur77 - I particularly agree with Lynn's comments about the leading lines and strong figure outline. Also the 'leading tones' (for want of a proper phrase) i.e. the black hat followed by white hair followed by black mac followed by white hands adds to the impact.
Creepy too that I'm sure the guy is Max Von Sydow's 'Father Merrin'
hteasley - Really good vision to see this and I love the tonal similarities throughout.
Rogrund - Great light, gentle tones, a serendipitous breeze and a moment of calm beauty captured forever
Taskoni - Great composition using the trees and road at the top to let everything else fall into, perfect, position. The inevitable Lowry like figures against the snow, the cluster of parked cars and scratched looking surface are all wonderful. Love it.
Luiman - A highly graphic composition and exposure using highlight, shadow and lines to move the eye around the image. I like this kind of image as its honest, its all about the construction and when its done well its extremely rewarding to look at
Martini - I hope this is watermarked, copyrighted and in some manner trackable as it will appeal to so many bands for an album cover...they may even steal the title too
😉 😀
"Whoa! Very cool"....indeed.
Pete Chipman - Exposure and composition work harmoniously. ( I was obviously waffling less than usual when I wrote this but its a super picture and deserves more praise and less waffle!)
Some excellent photography this week and I've already seen images here that I missed during the week so I'll be tracking some down later tonight. Plus, tj01 and the two Richards, thank you very much for including one of my pictures.
