not me bro, thank the recently retired Pixtu for this mess ;).

BTW, anyone can start one of these threads. If you get here on thurs. before the masses and don't see it started, just open an old one-copy the rules- paste them in a new thread box and viola'.

Thanks Rick.

Last summer there was a Richard Serra installation at the MOMA in Manhattan where that was shot. You can't really see it in the web version but the sign at the bottom of photo says "Please Do Not Touch" which I thought was funny as the one guy in the foreground is reaching out to touch the other guy as he appears to be walking away.

Yes, I see the sign now. This is definately a time where a bigger photo would have made all the difference in the world. :) Now that I see the sign and the position of the guy reaching out, it makes the shot work even better.
 
wray: first image... love the colors but not the composition but too much empty space. second image... much better, but it suffers a bit from the feeling that it's slightly posed.

Thanks for commenting. Second shot was definitely not posed. I was running over to the girl and looking at her parents and pointing at my camera and then the girl. As soon as I got the okay I stopped and took the shot. Unfortunately the little girl looked up rather than straight ahead.
 
Ok...didn't have time last night to post my critiques, so here goes...

Todd - Guy in cowboy hat is awesome...the gritty feel makes the photo

Rick - Like this because everytime I look at the photo I see something I didn't see before. RE: composition...I wish you had bee three steps back and kneeling

M. Da Re - Shot would be stronger with barrel on left cropped out. Like the curiousity factor though.

izr - awesome!!!

Nightfly - 1st shot..."Happy Paws" makes the shot 2nd shot...awesome! 3rd shot...love the layered effect...would crop a little of the right

Aziz - like your 2nd shot..would crop the 1/2 guy with his back to you on left...makes the shot much stronger

Bertran - like the ghosts

Wray - color works man! wish you had been kneeling on the little girl's level

Model 337 - guy in center doesn't seem to work...crop the orange bldg. on left and make it square...I don't know?

Jeff - excellent!

Anupam - love the expression of the guy on left

Bill P - first two are fantastic...vertical format doesn't seem to work on the third after seeing the first two shots

NB23 - nice...sometimes it's neat to wonder about the faces and expressions...this shot works for me

Bingley - sorry nothing in the photo grabs me

Ding - cool...lots to see in this one...the telephone behind the lady and the psoter above her head, etc...

Sorry if this is too much guys...just my opinions. Thanks to all who commented on mine.

Just to be sure:
Does that mean this one ends definitively next Wednesday and won't be continued?
And any of us will start a new one then ? Which will last another 7 days ?

Thanks,

Bertram

I keep coming back to this one. I think it's hilarious and a wonderful capture!
 
Nightfly -- The first one in #54 is great! Good composition, and great capture of the speeding kid against the monumental (and definitely non-moving) buildings.

as far as I'm concerned yes, otherwise someone correct me on this.

love it or hate it?

Bingley,
interesting use of space, like the long shadows and light.

Todd
 
Thanks for the feedback, guys. I really appreciate it. I have to say that I think the standard this week has been exceptional - there is some really strong stuff here.

Regards,

Bill
