My apologies, I was hospitalized unexpectedly!
Wayne (untitled): I like the balance in the lighting in this shot. Night photography is an interest of mine as well, but this image contains both balance and subtlety. The two small figures on the bottom right drew my eye and led it from right to left. The light pattern and repetitive symmetry of the locks is arresting! Great image!
Formal (untitled): Beautiful juxtaposition with the image behind her. It 's interesting to take note of the floating hand of the image behind her and and then observe her hand which is amputated at the wrist by the frame. Great capture!
Gabriel (untitled): Bright vibrant colors and the beautiful bokeh provides a nice background for the subject. Reminds of a colorized japanese pen and ink drawing.
WarrenT (untitled): Like the image and the use of leading lines drawing the eye to the lower right, although I find the graininess a bit off-putting, but that's just me. Interesting how the fog seems to cut off in the middle of the bridge. Nice image.

Wayne:
Compositionally, it has many strengths, one of them being the exposure and the alignent of the horizon. Technically, this rests in good company.
Warren:
beautiful! I like the wonderful dissolve of the background behind the fog; the inmensity of the bridge, in contrast to the people at the bottom, wonderfully placed. I am sure this post cannot do a good print of it justice.
Jeff:
Usually, cat shots lose automatic points with me, and technically, the scan has issues with the shadows (they're clipped). In this case, this is trumped by the soft, curved, in-focus arm, hand and finger, in contrast to the furry, obviously loved and "absorbed" cat. Selective focus allows for a further separation of "hard and palpable" and soft elements. To others without an eye, I'm sure this may be just another cat picture; if you are not a "cat photo" person, then I commend you for your versitality. People who can only photograph one thing and one way can only see things their way and anything different is frownable. Thumbs up on a simple subject executed with simple good taste.
Formal:
Another creative joy! The choice of square format for this composition works so well; the contrast between main subject, and "background commentary", juxtaposed, is genial. The angles of the shop window add a great sense of depth, and the reflection in the middle, to me, places this picture either in London or Paris, giving the main subject an added interest --it makes you wonder what would this "nonfashionista" is doing in such a fashion-conscious place? Fab.
I am impressed by the good samples put forth. Too bad this thread didn't see much life. It seems that when I pick to join one, the pattern is for me to get overwhelmed by other things and forget.
Formal and Warren, I hope I get to shoot more stuff like you have shown here, and get a feel on fleeting, lazy yet memorable moments, like you have, Jeff.
