I'm late into this thread this week, thank you Harry, Marc, functus, Paul, Phil, Jim and dof for mentioning my photo, I really appreciate it!
Here's the photos I liked most during the week:
StefanJosef - wd. for its composition, light and shadows, particularly the person in the centre.
in the last week porktaco posted two very interesting portraits that permit a glance into the private world of childhood.
porktaco - second hike 2. A very personal connection between subject and viewer.
porktaco - early april 2. caught the child's daydreamy faraway look perfectly, and the lighting, focus and bokeh are very nice.
Brainwood - Bluebells 2. Simply beautiful, including the dof
buzzardkid - Young Guns. for such an interesting study of youth and the excellent composition - and title
sleepyhead - such a beautiful, timeless child portrait. The plane of focus, dof and tonality make this lovely to look at.
gho - as much a photo of her energy as of herself. Something is happening - this leaves us guessing
rogerzilla - Pond. lovely portrait, and the background and dof work well.
Vince Lupo - untitled. The sense of scale, the look on the upper boy's face, the machine like spacing of the people, the contrast between the upper and lower boys, the massive neutral background bringing the people into sharp focus
