They looked good for what I could see, .but unfortunately I don't have a 42" monitor.

[pegleglooker]

I will give you an " A " John.

[stoney56]

I'll make it an A+. There was one that's not there now that I liked. It was green plants framing a door that had a greenish tint to it and I think the shingles were wood shakes with a bit of moss.

[pegleglooker]

hey Stoney,
I think this is the one you were asking about....



I guess I forgot to add that one before, here's another one I liked



and one last one....Vallecito Stage Station



Thankx for looking

Truly beautiful PLL...I love the subjects you used for the photos of course and they look like staged shots they are so well put together. Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

I must say my favorite one is the second one. they are ALL very well done. you certainly have an eye for composition and structure. I am an amateur and i try hard to compose the rite picture. i dont use an expensive camera so its a bit harder but im always on the lookout for the right shot in the right moment in time. i love the effects you use, it gives to the image something that you cant see buy yet is right in front of you. Great job and thanks for sharing A++
check my profile and look at some of my humble attempts at photography.

On the second one, maybe get in ahead of the tree, but use a much wider lens to still capture it all. Everything else was great.

Great pics! Enjoy your D40... It's a very nice camera.

Dear Pegleglooker;
Absolutely wonderful shots, my friend. I prefer for my B&W shots have a more street shot feel to them but your pics are excellent! Kepp up the wonderful work!

very very very very very very good! wonderful eye. impressive. keep up the good work!

[mikeofaustin]

Yes, yes yes Peg...very nice, But still, as a fellow shooter, I would like to ask if you can get back to the subject and take another shot of the third photo. Get in closer, without the tree-frame, but open up real wide if you have a lens that can do it. I would love to see the results.

[Idahohunter]

Very nice....A+ very creative..

Remember when you'd use a Nikormat or other 35mm camera loaded with B/W film and the look you could get in the darkroom using soft or hard papers, or dodging, or flash-lighting the paper in the trays to reverse the silvered images...

Not sure that a photographer can obtain the same results with todays camera images and photoshop...

[DigginThePast]

Overall I absolutley love the composition and manipulation of your pics.

I'd like to see them sharper, that would be my only complaint.
I'd give a grade of 93/100.
Play around with the camera settings a little and you'll be "right there" in no time. IMHO.

Some are edited too heavily for my taste, but some look pretty good. How about mine?

Look good overall. I would just watch your exposure carefully (whether in the raw image or in editing), as there are a few areas where your whites tend to wash out a little. Even if you are going for a high key look, make sure you dont "lose" the white color by overexposing and end up with "empty" space. If you see any pixelation in your whites(and not in your other colors), you have lost the actual image color.
