The thing that amazes Me about your photography Adam, is the amazing amount of detail to be found in your images. Not only is your technique and technical ability very impressive, but the detail is such that I can sit and look at your images for long periods of time and keep finding little details to marvel at. I would love to be able to look at an 11"X14" print of some of these shots. By the way, you are right about that coastline, that is some of the most breathtaking scenery that I have ever seen.
Sincerely, JB.

Hello Adam,
First let me say that I feel so far beneath your ability level as to warrant my critique of your work rather pointless. But since you requested opinions, I love the composition, I think that the 50/50 split works very well here and it really does balance the color and tone of the photo. The clouds have a wonderful menacing look, like they are about to bring something very heavy down on you any second. Only two small things bother me about this image. The first is the small lake, if it had a little more detail it would'nt be as distracting as it is, being so white. The second is the light fall off in the upper right hand corner, it is enough that it seems to be impeding the flow of the clouds toward the viewer almost stopping their movement. But it's still a great shot and I'll kick down two points for the technical mastery and the composition. JB

Hi Gordon,
That is one of the coolest shots that I have seen yet. Fuji Velvia shure can soak up color, great job putting it all together with the timing, framing and the polarizer.
Cheers! JB

Hello Anuradha,
Wonderful shot of this cathedral. Your shot gives us all a wonderful sense of the depth and realisim of the painting. Contrast color and focus are all spot on. Thank you for sharing with us. JB

Hello Steven,
I think this is going on my top 5 favorite shots on this site. I really like the way that the tonal values recede smoothly into the distance it almost looks like a watercolor painting. Cheers to the good fortune of that balloonist drifting into the frame also.

Thank you for posting, JB

That is a great shot Gordon. The range of tone in the photo is nearly perfect with good balance and excellent contrast. I like it very much.

The color of the water in the crater is so amazing. That was great luck to get there with the sunrise colors to balance out the strong blue. Great balance and composition.
