Hi Agnieszka,

I am not participating on the site anymore, but I absolutely wanted to congratulate you on this exhibition, so very much deserved ! It's one of the most outstanding series ever on TE, done with heart, soul and professionalism. I remember well this particular one, so much in one glance, so much of a symbol. Bravo !

Warm regards
Michèle

Hi Isabela,
I can only agree with Cristian. I think I would have gone for a straight b/w but anyway this is great ! Wonderful detail of the hand in all that black. The OOF speaks worlds...Special and touchy subject, to be absurd and closed world. I am impressed. This was a hidden treasure on your hard disk...My compliments.

Kindest regards
Michèle

Seems the mods did not like my first minimalistic message :-).
What a bore this place has become.

Luckily there are still some good/great/fantastic photographs around. This is one of them. Far away from the kitch/schmalzig/so nice ones, I love the tight frame, the wild, concentrated face of the dancer, yes, the best I have seen around too. Period :-).

I just wonder about those orangey bits on the top. I think that without it would be even better.

Elles sont vachement de traviole les maisons et l'église :-).
Désolée, mais c'est vraiment ce que j'appelle un "snapshot", plein de brol devant (voitures...).
5 ans sur TE ? bon....l'exposition est bonne. Sinon, on dirait un travail de débutant.

Bonne soirée.

Hi Annelise,
long time no see...

this is excellent, you had an original idea to lie down in the grass and the way you composed it, has also something a bit surrealistic, and beautiful mix of strong colors and that dark sky. Comliments !

Take care

You deserve a whole field of those flowers !!!!
Lots of happiness here, and yet, the reminder of the sad things of life too, with that tee-shirt on Aids. Gorgeous stuff; skin close and skin-deep.

I am watching you, every move you make, every step you take...
This ongoing rain has a monsoon look, love the blur, the colors, the wetness, very moody mood! :). You have an observant eye Farah, and the capacity to render what you see with a personal touch. Good stuff, once more!

Great stuff Ben. Harsh photograph, death and life aside, superb perspective made by the lines of the road, lamps, electrical poles.
What you call "crappy quality" is beautiful in my eyes, makes this even stronger, and timeless, in true photographic reportage style. The best I've seen around since a while.

My compliments.!

C'est bien de croire, enfin ça dépend en quoi o))), et surtout devant un ravin de 30 m.

Good photograph, I like the lady and the newspaper kiosque sharing the pavement to sell each their stuff, she looks very elegant in probably what's her best coat, trying to make a little money in addition to a small pension...touching.

And tell me Pawel, you are asking for critiques and comments, and welcoming them.

So, why is it that you have not given any critiques/comments to anyone since 28 March 2008 ? You have a great gallery and I am sure many here would be happy having some input from you. A bit on the selfish side, maybe ? (:.

Best regards
