oh shucks..c'mon, wouldja? i have never been POD, EC, SC, POTD, LCD, ASAP, XXX, PHD, LSD, DO-RE-MI, FA-SO-LA-TI-DO or even critique-of-the-day in this place. i'm just a shooter like you..just maybe with a little more experience than two weeks, but still trying to make sense out of this piece of metal and glass and electronics called a camera. You're doing great..just get wild. There are no rules. Have fun. Follow your instincts. kat~

hi, Roger! No, darlin', it wasn't me who talked about tones. i was admiring the composition and discussing my personal reaction to this photo, which i liked a lot. i don't mind the dark tones (haha, me mind dark tones?), they don't distract from my enjoyment of the image at all. But i did want to say that i think you might be confusing my comments with someone else's. :)))regards: kat~

I do like this image... it goes some way to leaving the viewer to figure it out I dont quite agree with what Kathleen is saying about the tones I think that for the size of the image the tones are a tad dark but having said that it is still a very successful image, that would be stronger for a slightly lighter treatment.

Criticism was the wrong word, but I didn't want to sound trite. So, Thank you so much for the praise! Your post made my day! I mean that. I've probably read it twenty times now, getting a complement from someone as talented as yourself really means a lot.

Thank you for your criticism! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post on my image. It would be an honor to have you look over some of my other images and offer any criticism that you could. Thanks again. ?John-

gee, this is different..a sexy hay bale image. Not since Marilyn Monroe posed seductively in a hay loft with her gingham blouse tied up under her "bosoms" (so i don't get censored) have i seen such a delectable bit of female anatomy and hay in the same frame. And i'm straight, so get that thought right outta yer head! ;)) This is sexiness for the new millenium. No gingham shirts and white shorts for this girlfriend..no exaggeratedly arched poses with that come hither look, ohhh, nooo...silver bracelets at the ends of casually hanging arms, and a nothing special kinda shirt ending somewhat short of her unbelted perfectly worn jeans, showing just the merest bit of pretty tummy. And no head. And in b&w no less. Very intuitively provocative shot on your part. Bold, brave and i love the centered position of her. It says, you can look at the scenery if you want to, buddy, but you hafta get past me to do it. Well done..and you say you bought your first camera 2 weeks ago? You don't believe in wasting time, do you? :) Best regards from Costa Rica: kat~

Thanks for the advice, I am going there to reshoot a few images I?ll try to frame her differently. I don?t think cropping will work for as you pointed out it would be nice to see more of the open field. You have a great portfolio! I truly enjoy your work. I just bought my first camera not two weeks ago, so any comments you have on my other pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the type-o notice : ) Also, thanks for the cropped image. Its just a personal preference but I feel as if the flow of the overall picture is more even without the equipment on the left. Either way, it?s a stunning and beautiful picture!

Oh...I forgot. Change that to "bales" in the about section. I know I make typos all the time, but we country boys gotta stick together and hep(dropped the "l" on purpose) each other out a bit.

John, Very nice. Try offsetting her just a bit to the left, give me a more open look at the field beyond. I really like the color of the work. I know, it is B/W...I guess I should say I like the tones. Thanks for the words on my site. I did recrop that sunset pic. (I usually do not do that...for anyone) You were very polite and proper. You did not change it and then repost. You suggested. That goes a long way in my book. The newly cropped version is attached.

ps. My gr-gr-grandfather was from Ohio. Nice place.

Good one -- too many times people think you have to include the whole person in the photo...I say break the rules...it's more interesting and gives the image your own world view...good shot here...K

Intriguing composition. The tones, especially on the jeans, are gorgeous.
