Pitxu for 'Etxe Gorri.'

I can imagine this location for either a product photo of a yellow Lamborghini, or a fashion photo of a woman running in a wedding dress.

Alternatively something surreal in front such as a giraffe.

The many different reds all work well, as does the focus, and the composition also.

WoW, here we have very aesthetical mix of man and sculpture, man and steel, (I have skipped most of your explanations, since all explanations tend to shorten my imagination), man and tool, and the man with an interesting facial expression of trying hard.
The lines at the background are helpfull too, leading to the man's head and tool.
The cropp of the sculpture is very good as well. This pic is my first choice among the 90 per page thumbnails of my settings at the Gallery.

Gabriel M.A. - ...

Ho Gabriel - this is a very skillfull shot. You have established a very delicate balance between the softness at the lower side of the image and the sharpness at the woman's eyes.

In the measure this is a nude or semi-nude image, this is my taste. To leave the most for imagination.

In the measure this is a portrait, the facial expression you extracted is very refined, curiousity arising. Sometimes the woman I see is very temperamental, sometimes very tender.

And above all this is a picture about a human being.

Thanks to all who mentioned my work! My picks will follow later.

I have only a few this week:
A perfect B&W composition from Terje. The small tree on the right makes the composition perfect. What I call a Haiku!

Superb live portrait. A real man in the old fashioned way by Pitxu:

A real color composition (no color no picture) by Gabriel M.A:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78883&cat=fav
And a picture from Jon, standing again for his whole work and his ability to find a nice girl nearly everywhere;-)

petronius.


Thank you for the mention.

This photo is a favorite of mine at this time.

The ice creams are €1 or so, but the girl is maybe not available.

TheBusinessman by tuna:

Good composition. (Also a pretty straightforward way to deal with criticism.)

Oh, and thanks Jon & Pitxu for mentioning birds, bikes & kissers 🙂

Thankyou Ruben ... that photograph has meant a lot to me for several reasons!
