Another excellent portrayal of the human condition. yes, times gone by -- our fishermen are suffering hardships in Canada too. Many of the boats sitting idle and rotting. Are these fishing boats, though? We still have plenty of activity in the 'sail boat' and pleasure craft area.
Your photo is an excellent composition. Perhaps a tad more contrast and I wee wish for more luminosity in the whites. Great moody sky.

I agree that there could be softness in this one. This photo "says a LOT" to me. The person is sleeping and is in a dream perhaps, so the photo should be soft and dreamy.
Excellent tonal range, just right contrast and luminosity. Good composition with the person in a diagonal line across the photo. I think this composition is superb. Keep up the excellent work!!

The pixelization looks like what happens to something if I zoom it too large. In my photo editors I sometimes do this zoom to see the area I am working on and do a close up job of correcting small flaws. Yes, I realize its against your religion. But they used to do things like dodging and burning and numerous other things in the wet darkrooms. The only place I would object to any corrections would be on photo journalism. Otherwise, it is just like anyone would do in their wet darkroom with different developing techniques. Why should it be a sin? Agreed, it is best to take the photo perfectly when shooting it. But if you have a good basic photo, I don't think there is anything wrong with doing a bit of touching up.
Did you resize the photo when scanning it? Its something in the scan that has caused this if you have done nothing in it with a photo editor. We should find someone who knows about this scanning. I have recently got a new scanner, and have used it a bit, but do not know that much about it. Most of my photos are digital and they feed into the computer as Jpegs (unless I shoot CCD RAW - better resolution) directly from the Compact Disk Card reader. Also, its my understanding that on line the computers use 72 pixels per inch and no more. Any higher resolution is lost. So unless you are printing up you photos the higher resolution goes relatively unnoticed because the computers just do not use it. We lose a lot of detail on line. A tremendous amout of detail, actually. And then there is compression -- I have to read more about that and get a better understanding of what compression is. It figures into how our photos look on line though too.
Ok, off my soapbox now. On to see what else you have been up to lately.

Makes a nice abstract. good lines in this. I like the tonal range. Agree with working on contrast. Try curves? Used judiciously, though. Did you sharpen it after scanning? People have been telling me to sharpen my scans. They have said that sharpening or using unsharpen mask should be the last thing you do to the photo. Just thought I would pass that along. See if it works for you.

actually i love the image .. and it's maybe a little wisunderstood .. but i think that the light tones of the blanket do need to be "brought in" a little more for this image to really sing... the image reminds me of what some of the maters would do - and it works well ... it is soft, and it's very nice, but a more perfect print might help others be convinced that it is an asset not a fault .. i hope that helps ... kindest regards .. js

the location seems to be beutiful, I'd like to see a little more detail; a moment of relax? of tiredness? of sadness? This image is a bit enigmatic. regards.

Great 'eye', composition is real good. IMO you should work a bit more on contrast. Just an opinion because this is a real nice shot.

Great idea, but the grass seems to cover her a little too much to me. We can't really see her face at all. I love the choice of black and white though and again -- the overall feel of it!

Hi Fred,
I agree with GP about the levels, but other than that this photo is great. I am assuming that this was taken after he suspended, which is one of my favorite times to capture the emotions of a subject who is suspending. There's something about it that really captures the emotion of the moment.
